About the Item

"Red Motorcycle and Ben Fenske" is an oil painting of the artist's friend, Ben Fenske (another successful artist) as he walks away from him. This painting was painted in 2014, one of the first paintings by Carl Bretzke to sell at the Grenning Gallery. We are pleased to exhibit this painting again, almost 10 years later. Carl Bretzke is a representational painter who specializes in urban scenes, nocturnes, and plein-air landscapes. He is a member of the Plein Air Painters of America since 2021. Carl's work has been exhibited extensively in Minnesota and California, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Carl's work has been described in the Washington Post as "simultaneously intimate and detached…The artist's unadorned style recalls Edward Hopper and The Ashcan school." Carl holds an MD degree from the University of Minnesota Medical School. His undergraduate degree is from the University of Colorado, where he also received a minor in Fine Art. Carl has also trained extensively under Plein Air Painters of America signature artist Joseph Paquet.
