Sage Barnes
The Bigger Picture

2016

About the Item

The Bigger Picture 2016 24 x 18 ins Oil paint Sage Barnes’s paintings navigate the space between the surreal and the real. Barnes is known for portraits that depict figurative busts with faces obscured by vibrant floral arrangements, neon smiley faces, or thick material explosions of blocked colour and gestural marks. His canvases call to mind the Surrealist works of René Magritte. Often incorporating three-dimensional elements, his paintings utilize such materials as physical paintbrushes, flowers, and painted-over frames, giving his already surrealistic works an even more illusionistic quality. He attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles before pursuing art as a full-time career. Barges has exhibited in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami.

    By Ben Eine
    Located in Manchester, GB
    Dance To The Radio (Purple) 2018 60 x 60 cm 23.62 x 23.62in Acrylic and spray paint on canvas Hand-signed by the artist Ben Eine is most notable for his alphabet lettering and phrases on anything and everything across the world. Prior to becoming involved in commercial graffiti, Eine was a very famous and highly credible writer in the underground London graffiti scene. His unusual ‘throw up’ was created to stand out from the usual tags and dubs seen on the streets and can still be found in some dingy areas of East London. Inspired by the work of fashion assassin Noki, Eine first started to explore more commercial avenues in a workshop above the Dragon Bar in Lenoard Street, London (now knocked down). Eine produced a number of custom clothing designs notably some custom “VANDALS” sweatshirts and started to explore screen prints eventually working as a screen printer for cult screen print company Pictures On Walls. Eine produced many of the hand pulled prints for artists represented by POW including Banksy, Jamie Hewlett...

  • Les travailleurs de la mère
    By Roberto Matta
    Located in Malmo, SE
    Artwork size: 102,5x98 cm Frame size: 110x105 cm This artwork is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Alisée Matta. Provenance: Artist Jean-Pierre Jouffroy, Paris. The estate of the artist Jean-Pierre Jouffroy, Paris. “The heart is an eye,” writes Nobel laureate Octavio Paz in an essay on Matta’s paintings. Matta creates a world coloured both by a sunny faith in the future and by visions of impending doom. Roberto Sebastian Echaurren Antonio Matta, who died aged 91 on 23 November 2002, was born in Santiago, Chile, on 11 November 1911 into a family with Spanish, French and Basque roots, and raised in an atmosphere of religiosity. By the age of 21 he had graduated and begun work as an architect, but his leisure time he devoted to sketching and painting. In 1933 he travelled to Europe for the first time, visiting Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy and other countries, and subsequently taking the initiative to collaborate with the architect, Le Corbusier. As time passed, however, Matta’s enthusiasm for a career in architecture waned, and he began to devote himself full-time to art, making early acquaintances with surrealists such as Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, André Breton and others. Between 1939 and 1948 Matta, like many of his artistic contemporaries, lived in self-imposed exile in the USA, but, after almost 10 years’ absence from Europe, he returned to make first Rome and then, a few years later, Paris his home. Throughout most of the rest of his life Matta commuted between his studio in Paris and his creative refuge in the monastery outside Rome. And it is here, in Italy, that he produced his greatest paintings. Matta’s first retrospective in Sweden was organised in 1956 when his works were exhibited in what was then Galerie Colibri – run by, among others, the artist C O Hultén...
