About the Item
Impasto mixed-media figurative portrait on canvas by Massimo D'Amico
This portrait is inspired by a character from Aldous Huxley’s “Crome Yellow” named Mr. Scogan. This work showcases the artist’s masterful and generous use of thick, impasto technique, serving as a dynamic stage through vibrant color and textured brushstrokes. Beyond the portrait, the surrounding use of color amplifies the emotional impact it has on the viewer.
ABOUT THE ARTIST - Massimo Damico was born on the Amalfi Coast (Italy), and is currently living and working in Prague. Damico took courses in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples.
At age 23, Damico left Italy, and lived in many different cities from around the world, including places like: Barcelona, London, Berlin and New York City.
While in New York, Massimo was represented by Monkdogz Urban Art in Chelsea. While here, he started to develop his new and personal style as an artist and practiced by making sketches he would create while waiting on the subway, depicting scenes of the crowded streets of Manhattan, outlying stations and the underprivileged suburbs of NY.
Damicos’ style is a combination of semi-abstract and large expressionist figurative portraits of Poets, Esotericists and 'Maudit' (Artists’ living a life outside of or against society) that address philological and uncataloged areas.
Damicos’ works are mostly structures and machines, capable of collecting energy and matter; However, being guided by a strong quest in search of psychological and physical purity, the artists’ images have become pure statements of disdain towards the so-called “ultra modern commercial world”; the Western policy - which often forgets the full meaning of “the idea of life and intelligence”.

- "Coexist" - Geometric Portrait Op Art Original Painting by Tim ChristieLocated in West Hollywood, CAThis large, horizontal painting measures 55 inches high and 90 inches wide. It is hand signed and dated by the artist on the back. It is stretched and ready to hang. The sides are painted black and it does not require framing. The fusion between angular geometric abstraction and softer, anatomical forms, like faces, spawned an original and intriguing new aesthetic. His innovative, fashion-forward style has been described as a modern synthesis of Op Art, Pop Art, Street Art, Geometric Expressionism and De Stijl. “I was curious to explore the relationship between a very controlled technical aesthetic and facial features, with the inherent symmetry of the latter providing a shared language between these two worlds.” Tim Christie is a New Zealand based designer and artist. His artwork adorns the walls of the new Hilton hotel in Wellington, New Zealand. He has developed some of New Zealand's most iconic brands including identities for The Interislander, Radio New Zealand, New Zealand Wine and the city of Invercargill. His work has been featured in New Zealand and Australian design...Category
