Brian Fekete
"Obturator Fascia" Warm Sepia Tones, Oil, Abstract

1995

About the Item

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Obturator Fascia" is a contemporary oil painting depicting relationships between nature, science, technology, and pattern that has always fascinated Brian. A sister piece that is strongly similar, "Epithelium", is owned by The Detroit Institute of Arts. Brian Fekete is an American visual artist, formerly a Brooklyn expat, now living and working in the Mid-Hudson Valley. He received his BFA and MFA from Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan. Other well-known individuals who taught or studied at Wayne State University and are connected with the arts are Arthur Danto, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Susan Aaron-Taylor, Tyree Guyton, Hughie Lee-Smith, Philip Levine, Casey Kasem, Helen Thomas, Sergio DeGuisti, Stanley Rosenthal, Robert Wilbert, and William Antonow. Brian has made a career as a visual artist out of the ongoing investigations into the relationships between nature, science and technology, and his fascination with pattern as not only a visual phenomenon but also a physical blueprint for creation in nature. This manifests itself in painting, drawing and 3-D work. His objective is to share these personal discoveries with a broad, receptive audience.

  • "Red Harmony" Abstract, Geometric, Colors, Bright Red, Green
    By William Antonow
    Located in Detroit, MI
    SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Red Harmony" is an abstract painting that does have a sculptural presence in the shapes of the red areas. The lush greens blend various shades into a background that while it does contrast sharply with the reds, it is not in conflict. The overall effect of this work is dynamic in its energy while at the same time harmonious. One of the original Cass Corridor artists from the 1960s William Antonow studied at the School of the Detroit Society of Arts and Crafts (now the College for Creative Studies) and at Wayne State University, where he received his BFA (1967) and MA (1970.) Antonow’s first one-person show at the Willis Gallery in 1971, represented a radical departure from his early work – abstract bronzes shown at the Michigan Artists exhibitions at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 1969 and 1970. A founding member of the Willis, Antonow publicized his exhibition with a cryptic invitation stating, “art isn’t anything.” Echoing the challenge implicit in the exhibition announcement, the works in the show consisted of precariously balanced piles of such non-art materials as wood crates and barrels, corrugated paper or cardboard, cellophane and beer cans. These brash, paint-slathered juxtapositions of salvaged objects were perhaps the first example of the nascent “tough art” aesthetic of the Cass Corridor. (Both Gordon Newton’s wood constructions and Bob Sestok’s crude “radio wheels” first appeared in 1972.) In 1975, in the inaugural group exhibition of the Willis at its new location in the Fisher Building...
