Leead Shamir
The Beast and the Beauty - Original Acrylic on Canvas

2023

About the Item

This Lead Shamir's original painting is a stunning visual representation of her multidisciplinary approach, where she utilizes a vast array of techniques and materials. This particular artwork vibrantly encapsulates her essence as an artist. The painting is a symphony of bold colors and intriguing forms. At its core, it features two dominant, abstract figures with oversized heads, reminiscent of masks or characters from a fairy tale. Each head is a canvas in itself, filled with symbols and shapes that evoke deep-seated memories and emotions. Lead's passion for expressive, big-headed paintings, as well as her love for creative, primitive, and childish art, is palpable in the complex layers that make up this work. Symbols like flowers and birds, alongside notions of seeds, freedom, life's absence, and death, are recurrent themes that she explores. This piece is a poignant examination of human mindsets and scenarios, expressed through an abstract lens. Lead delves into the dichotomies of relationships, beauty versus ugliness, concealment against disclosure, and the dynamics between compression and space. This artwork is not just a painting; it's a conversation piece, a window into the artist's soul, and a testament to her unique perspective on the human condition.

  • Phenomena Greet by Day by Paul Jenkins - Abstract Expressionist painting
    By Paul Jenkins
    Located in London, GB
    Phenomena Greet by Day by Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) Acrylic on canvas 146 x 114.3 cm (57 ½ x 45 inches) Signed lower right, Paul Jenkins Executed in 1994-1996 Provenance: Private collection, New York (acquired directly from the artist) Stern Pissarro Gallery, London Private collection, Netherlands Artist biography Born at Kansas City in Missouri (USA), the multi-media artist, poet and playwright Paul Jenkins studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York City. After his discharge from military service at the end of February 1946, he briefly studied playwriting with dramatist George McCalmon at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Thereafter, Jenkins spent four years studying with Japanese American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi in New York City. His first solo exhibitions were held at Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris in 1954 and the Martha Graham Gallery in New York City in 1956. Over the past thirty years, numerous retrospectives have been curated across the globe and Jenkins’ work can found in national collections from Europe and the United States to Israel, Australia and Japan. The diversity of his work springs from Jenkins’ wealth of eclectic influences. Some of his earliest works included what he called "interior landscapes" influenced by ancient natural forms like the caves he visited in the Ozark Mountains in his native-Missouri. Frequent student visits to the Frick Collection in New York fostered a love of the great masters: Bellini, Holbein, Vermeer, Rembrandt, de la Tour, Turner and Goya. In compliment, lingering student visits to the renowned Eastern collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City evoked powerful sympathy for a monumental Chinese fresco...
