About the Item
“First, I work the painting to a state of being nearly complete, in the traditional sense. I then muster-up the willingness to deconstruct it using paint-stripper, metal grinding, power grit sanding, knife scraping and more!” – James Armstrong
An artist in a family of lawyers, Armstrong felt the desire to create compelling artworks from an early age, eventually earning a BFA and a graduate degree from the East Carolina University School of Art. He began his career as the creative director of his own agency in Newport, CA, but has been a painter full-time since 2004.
Armstrong’s paintings, often created on the back of old road signs, boast serene California landscapes with hints of metal peeking through, creating a glimmer of the sun on the surface of a pond or adding to the luminosity of a cloud. Trained in the style of the classic California landscape painters, Armstrong begins his paintings with a fully-realized composition before beginning to scrape away layers in a process he refers to as “reductive”. Armstrong allows the painting to take control, reacting emotionally to the needs of the painting. He paints, deconstructs, and repaints, cycling through the process over and over until the painting is finally completed, a perfect balance between perfection and destruction.

- New Bridge at the Hogback Bridge, Winterset, IowaBy Don StinsonLocated in Denver, COAfter decades spent proximal to Colorado’s mountainous Continental Divide, Stinson’s recent move to Des Moines, Iowa has offered insight into the Midwest’s major geographical divide: the Mississippi River. Depictions of contemporary Americana have maintained their place as the center of focus, with Stinson’s iconic retro gas stations and sweeping landscapes at the forefront. Newly incorporated into Stinson’s visual vocabulary are lush deciduous scenes of the Midwest, where the impact of weather and resultant socioeconomic tensions visibly mark the landscape. Engrossed in contemporary Western scenes, much of Stinson’s imagery has historically drawn from road trips across the United States. Along dusty, vacant roads the romance of the West is adeptly met by markers of civilization including bridges, wind...Category
