About the Item

Ford William is a self-taught artist based in Nashville, Tennessee. FIGHT FLIGHT FAWN FREEZE is Ford's debut solo exhibit and features sculptural and other 3D painted work on wood. FIGHT FLIGHT FAWN FREEZE is an imaginative depiction of the four primary stress responses humans instinctively deploy when we sense danger. The show reflects on some of the issues our stress responses can cause, including when we are in "survival mode"—when we (often without realizing it) spend an extended period exclusively trapped in one or more of these four stress responses—as well as the maladaptive nature of our stress responses in modern-day society. The show's concept stems from Ford's experience—having spent years living in the unconscious and unsustainable chaos of survival mode—and his journey of learning (and unlearning) to move towards a healthier, more stable, and integrated existence. After exiting survival mode and coming online again, Ford began making art to practice the skills needed to help prevent re-entering chronic stress-response states in the future. Specifically, he makes art to practice self-compassion, tame his inner critic, and move away from the shame-based avoidance and anxiety that were the root cause of many of his behavioral patterns. Ford creates playful, imaginative, and often humorous pieces that have been described as folk, outsider, or naive art. Themes in his work frequently relate to aspects of mental health, various absurdities of society, or information learned from his years spent obsessively researching anything & everything as a means of avoiding his feelings.

    Located in Nashville, TN
    This stunning abstract by contemporary artist, architect, and designer Ana Carolina Mönnaco blends a beautiful variety of colors that make the piece jump off the canvas. This piece was made for the artist's exhibit, "Blurred & Fractured," at Modfellows Art Gallery - WeHo in Nashville, Tennessee. The piece is hand signed by the artist in the bottom-right corner and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the gallery. Mönnaco’s history in architecture has pushed her to peer past the structured world in which we live, to convey the unbound world which surrounds us. She is interested in the continuous reaching of life. She says, “we live with this blurred and fractured vision of the world, yet inside each of us there’s an undeniable conviction that something beautiful and perfect still exists beyond our grasp.” In response to this, Mönnaco uses a sophisticated color palette and inspiration found in the beauty of the natural world to create rich environments which encapsulate the viewer by surrounding them with wonderment of the unknown. About the Artist: Ana Carolina Mönnaco is an artist from Curitiba, Brazil, where she developed a love of art and architecture. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating in 2002, she joined Morris Architects in Orlando, Florida. Mönnaco has won many prestigious awards including the International Watercolor Masters Merit Award, the AIP 24 Juror Award, and the AIP Hugh Ferris...

  • French Expressionist Abstract Original Painting Artists Studio Provenance
    Located in Cirencester, Gloucestershire
    Abstract Expressionist Composition by Jacques COULAIS (1955-2011) gouache painting on paper/ card unframed: 9 x 9 inches condition: very good and impressive provenance: all the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists studio and are all featured in the artists Catalogue Raisonne. Jacques, Paul, Firmin Coulais is a French painter born on March 22 , 1955 in Fenioux ( Deux-Sèvres ) and died at the age of 56, the June 25 , 2011 in Niort (Deux-Sèvres). Born into a farming family, he was the seventh of eight children. Suddenly becoming a quadriplegic at the age of six following poliomyelitis, he overcame this handicap by building with determination an independent life centered on artistic practice and an intense social life. For more than thirty years his house and his workshop have been the center of attraction for many artists, art lovers or simply friends of Niort and all of France. Coulais began to paint with his mouth, as an autodidact. In 1978, he made the acquaintance of a plastic art teacher who advised him and engaged him on the path of watercolour. The freedom granted to him by this technique as well as the flexibility of its application fascinate him. This meeting and the friendship shared with his teacher, lead him and very quickly direct his work from figurative to abstraction in a way that he explores and that he will then find in the works of Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Admitted to the School of Fine Arts in Angoulême, he studied there from 1981 to 1984 and obtained the National Superior Diploma in Plastic Expression at the age of 31. A few years later, Jacques Coulais exhibited at the Museum of Niort and since then, his career has been punctuated by his participation in numerous exhibitions organized very regularly in various French cities as well as abroad. In the 1990s, the AAPBP, Association of Mouth and Foot Painting...
