About the Item
A rare and visceral artist, Gail Foster’s works are passionately expressive rendering of complex ideas. Her latest endeavors include elemental photography of “trash-to- treasure” assemblages, low-VOC acrylic paintings and mixed media on paper.
An uplifting and impassioned view of the human condition, regardless of gender, in the inner power of the spirit is celebrated in Gail Foster’s artwork. Foster’s art has always been concerned with change: Change within ourselves, within our personal relationships and within the relationship to universal powers. Often surrounded by rich jeweled darkness, the figures themselves are a source of illumination. Inhabiting a deep indefinite space like that at night, this pulsing luminous symbolism invokes ancient mysteries.
The inclusion of her art in 12 museum solo and group exhibitions, 32 solo private gallery shows, 72 private gallery group shows, studio films, lifestyle and trade publications as well as private and public collections is a testament to her depth of talent.

I can’t paint a dark figure.
No matter what happens around the figure, there’s still that light from within. Knowledge is ultimately cellular and intuitive - it’s in our bodies. Art, if it’s to be truly good, needs to tap into that level of inner knowing, that inner light.
The many layers of my paintings and drawings are a basic part of that search for
inner knowledge. In my drawings I use six different charcoals - the layers upon
layers are a way of getting to the point of connection where a couple of strokes
finish the work. When that happens, the link between the work and me is literally
physical.
That total connection is important - in the end, every part of a painting has to work. The color has to seem spontaneous and haphazard, but if you open yourself up, the
corners will be as important as the central figures. I learned long ago that the most
effortless-looking painting isn’t effortless. Nevertheless, the technique isn’t what
matters; it’s just the means of getting there.

- "Young Woman Seated" Green & Pink Contemporary Figurative Nude by Shana WilsonBy Shana WilsonLocated in Carmel, CAIn "Nude Woman Seated," a 40" x 30" oil on wood panel by Shana Wilson, there is an intimate portrayal of vulnerability and quiet strength. The artist employs a soft, earth-toned palette, with shades of warm beige, muted greens, and accents of coral, to craft the figure’s delicate form. Wilson's loose, confident brushstrokes lend a raw, textured quality, while the interplay of light and shadow captures the natural curves of the human body. The solitary figure, caught in a moment of repose, exudes a contemplative air, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of the human form and the subtle narratives contained within stillness. About the Artist: Over seven billion souls exist on this planet, each with a unique face and story. Shana transfers her visceral love for the human landscape to canvas, tenderly cradling its peaks and valleys, darkness and light, colors and neutrals, empty and full, hard edges and soft curves. Each brush stroke creates a controlled cacophony as it assembles the intricate jigsaw of the human face. An entire life’s journey is written on this human landscape; a journey that begs to be documented and treasured. Shana’s legacy project is to paint inspirational women from all walks of life, inclusive of all cultures and orientations. The subjects all have one thing in common; the ability to inspire and create social change. She pays tribute to them on canvas, painting a long overdue celebration of trail-blazing women. Visit any major gallery or museum in the world and it is teeming with paintings of nude women...Category

- American Modernist Oil Painting Gestural Landscape WPA Artist Group of 10By Ben-Zion WeinmanLocated in Surfside, FLBorn in 1897, Ben-Zion Weinman celebrated his European Jewish heritage in his visual works as a sculptor, painter, and printmaker. Influenced by Spinoza, Knut Hamsun, and Wladyslaw Reymont, as well as Hebrew literature, Ben-Zion wrote poetry and essays that, like his visual work, attempt to reveal the deep “connection between man and the divine, and between man and earth.” An emigrant from the Ukraine, he came to the US in 1920. He wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name Benzion Weinman, but when he began painting he dropped his last name and hyphenated his first, saying an artist needed only one name. Ben-Zion was a founding member of “The Ten: An Independent Group” The Ten” a 1930’s avant-garde group, Painted on anything handy. Ben-Zion often used cabinet doors...Category
