About the Item
Adam Straus is an American artist based in Riverhead, NY. Starting as a photographer and sculptor in the the late 70's and early 80's, he began making small paintings in 1986 of nocturnal landscapes inspired by his surroundings in north Florida. These paintings were often instilled with a dark humor, social commentary, and framed in the sheet lead he had been using on sculpture. Straus creates paintings that are seductive and gloomily romantic with views of skylines and seascapes, fields and mountains. The paintings go beyond contemplation, and present his concerns about the cruel reality of our planet. In his oils, Straus represents the struggle and survival of mankind and mankind’s effect on nature.
His technique has evolved throughout the years, but always with a marked personality. In framing the paintings in lead or steel he adds a unique touch, and more recently, his pixelating technique evokes the particulate matter suspended in the air and water.

- THE VOYAGE - Italian abstract oil on canvas painting, Massimo d'OrtaBy Massimo D'OrtaLocated in Napoli, ITThe Voyage - Massimo D'Orta Italia - Oil on canvas mis. cm. 60x120. Massimo D'Orta born in Naples in 1950 where he currently lives and works. Atypical character in contemporary art: manufactures seamless for about 35 years, but it exposes very little. Rare indeed are his public appearances: as if his vision of making it were very similar to that of the painter of the Paleolithic era that created his graffiti in the darkest part of his cave not for an aesthetic purpose, but to satisfy a need psychic made internal to soothe her fears and anxieties. The work seems to hide an ancestral and primitive enigmatic message that requires a tiring but compelling journey into the human psyche to grasp the essential aspects and the most intimate meanings of modern man. Whoever observes a painting by the master...Category
