Borja Fernandez
\Borja Fernandez is a contemporary impressionist painter renowned for her distincitve approach to capturing European and South American landscapes. Her artistic journey, which began at the age of 10, is marked by an extensive mentorship under Joaquin Torrents Llado. It was through years of disciplined study and personal evolution that Fernandez honed her distinctive style—a blend of impressionistic glimpses into nature, characterized not by absolute realism but by the emotional and ephemeral qualities of each moment. Fernandez's technique is notable for its use of multiple transparent layers. Through applying up to ten layers of fine, transparent oil washes, she creates depth and atmosphere, allowing each layer to subtly reveal its predecessors. This methodical approach captures the essence of her subjects with a dream-like clarity, distinguishing her work within the impressionist tradition. Her subjects, primarily European landscapes, are more than mere physical locations; they are moments of transient beauty, whether it's the shifting light across a bay or the delicate dance of fog at dawn. Fernandez's work spans both oil and watercolor, treating each medium with a distinct approach—calculated and precise in watercolor, passionate and spontaneous in oil, yet always striving for authenticity and purity in her artistic expression. Borja Fernandez is now retired, but her relentless pursuit of excellence ensures that each piece she creates is a testament to her journey as an artist, offering viewers a unique, impressionistic view of the world through her eyes. Borja Fernandez's artwork stands as a vibrant collection of contemporary impressionist landscapes, each painting inviting the viewer into a world of fleeting beauty and emotional depth.

- "Shipyard" Realist Industrial LandscapeBy Robert LavinLocated in Austin, TXThis painting is a 20th century realist landscape depiction of a shipyard by Robert Lavin. The piece is executed in oil on board and measures 10" x 24". Robert Lavin was born in New York City. His education included Townsend Harris, a prep school in New York followed by college at City College of New York. He also attended the National Academy of Art, where he studied as a painter. Studying the social realists of the 1930’s, Lavin, a former Marine pilot, portrayed steelworkers, roughnecks and trainmen. Lavin often painted his “proletarian ballets”- as one critic called them – to illustrate magazine advertisements. The Smithsonian Institution and other museums collected Lavin’s original paintings, which portrayed the laboring subjects with dignity and integrity. Lavin also illustrated stock certificates and books. Paper Money magazine praised him as “one of the greatest vignette artists of the 20th century.” In addition to this, Lavin was for a number of years an Associate Professor of Art at City College of New York, a position he left in the mid ‘60’s in order to devote himself full time to his painting. His commissions took him around the world, from the North Sea to the coast of Africa, from the slopes of Alaska to the Sea of Japan. As part of a series for Gulf Oil, he painted the royal family of England for the opening of a new refinery in Wales. Another portrait of one of the early Americanastronauts, appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. Other major commissions during these years included Readers Digest books...Category

- "Obliteration" Oil and Alkyd Painting on Wood Panels, Yellow, Red, OrangeBy Grace Graupe-PillardLocated in New York, NYGrace Graupe-Pillard has concentrated on portraiture since her early charcoal drawings which she exhibited at The Drawing Center, NYC in 1981. Her work, which has been exhibited at notable institutions such as MOMA PS1 and galleries including Cheim & Read Gallery (NY) and Carl Hammer Gallery (Chicago), has evolved from over the years from pastels to large-scale oil paintings and installations of people who she describes as “having not been integrated into mainstream society.” Her more recent paintings, inspired by selfies and iPhone photographs, attempt to convey the vitality and diversity of 21st century contemporary culture while capturing the ineffable moments in our lives. “The sensuality and radiant beauty of youth and ethnic diversity are depicted in my choice of subjects, as well as the ravages of time which are imprinted on our being. All stages of life are filled with humanity that both elevates and dissipates the spirit.” Her work has been written about in The NY Times, Art News, The Village Voice, The Star-Ledger, Newsday, Flash Art...Category
