2019

About the Item

Crossing Over 40.0 x 24.0 x 1.75, 12.0 lbs Acrylic Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "Crossing Over (CO) is a medium sized original abstract diptych acrylic painting on panels by artist Marlene Struss, protected with satin polymer varnish, signed, wired, and cradled in stained wood. A fascinating organically patterned surreal landscape lies at the bottom of the picture like a perished body under a foreboding green sky fraught with bolts of yellow. The impression is one of stark and mysterious beauty on an unearthly plane. CO was used by Park Pictures for Bank of America; By Plane Meets Paper in Insecure, Season 5; ABC Studios used CO on the set of How to Get Away with Murder Season 6; CO appeared in Warner Bros. production B Positive; CO was used by Palmar Productions in Costume Party; Epoch Films used CO in Zillow; Topanga Productions used CO in Call Your Mother; Mesquite Productions Inc. used CO in For All Mankind, Season 3; CO appears in the Netflix production Hot Dummies; Guys with Books put CO in its project Purple Hearts; 20th Century Fox used CO in How I Met Your Mother." About the Artist: Marlene Struss grew up in California dreaming of being an artist for as long as she can remember. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Santa Barbara in 1973, working with such esteemed instructors as Irma Cavat and Howard Warshaw. Over the years Struss has created bodies of work in media including printmaking, surrealistic montage, realistic pastel, painterly collage, digital paintings, and, at the present time abstract acrylic paintings on panel. Because she strives to succeed without succumbing to artistic trends and dictates, she has developed a highly individualistic style of painting that can be described as biomorphic abstract expressionism. Struss has made steady progress in her career by exhibiting broadly throughout the United States, some foreign countries, and online and being involved in the arts community in Santa Barbara, California. Among the awards she has received are the Individual Artist Award in Assemblage from the Arts Fund of Santa Barbara in 2004 and the Best in Show Award at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art in its Tri-County Juried Exhibition in 2019. Presently she is represented by 10 West Gallery and the Corridan Gallery and is a member of the Abstract Art Collective in Santa Barbara. She is also represented by Marina Kieser, art consultant catering to the movie and television industry, in North Hollywood. Struss's work can be seen in many television productions, including Man with a Plan, The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Lucifer, NCIS LA, By the Book, New Girl, The Better Half, Grey’s Anatomy, Ballers, and more. Her artwork has appeared in several publications, including Studio Visit, Vol. Two; National Association of Women Artists, Inc. 122nd Annual Exhibition; and Kennedy Publishing Company’s Best Of California, Vol. 1 and Best of America, Vol. 1.

  • Palavra #3
    By Paulo Canilhas

    I am fascinated by the individual’s relationship within society. It is in this context that I exist. Along the beaten path, I allow myself to observe from a multitude of vantage points; towards the recent past or a future yet to occur. This is what inspires me- the creative moment yet to happen, laden with limitless possibilities. When I take a look at the past, I identify social and personal nuances and their direct influence on my work, and then with excitement look for what comes next. In this process I take distance from myself and view with a critical eye. Ever evolving, I search for more. I am neither a painter nor sculptor, much less a photographer or director, but I am a little bit of everything. I don’t feel bound to one specialized art form, and this allows me to navigate free and unencumbered by norms and expectations. My goal is not to achieve perfection in any one area, but rather to explore all disciplines- joyfully challenging myself, provoking and exploring beyond any pre-conceived limits. In my work I try to establish a connection between my reality and the reality of those who dedicate a few minutes of observation. I’m constantly searching for the vanishing point that gives diverse expression to my artistic production. This is the creative fuel that drives me ever forward. Paulo Canilhas...
