Soren Emil CarlsenRoses in a Copper Bowl1893
1893
About the Item
This elegant and rare still life of red roses is by one of America's finest still life artists. It is framed in a fine Empire style 24 karat gilded and carved frame. Roses in a Copper Bowl represents the pinnacle of still life painting as Carlsen has described it above. Before painting marine landscapes, Carlsen was first known as one of the finest still-life painters of his era. Painted in 1893 during Carlsen’s period in New York, this canvas also draws comparisons to the work of John LaFarge, John White Alexander and James Abbott MacNeil Whistler. These artists simplified their subjects and limited their color palettes to convey mood and feeling. However, they failed to rival Carlsen’s ability to render copper, brass and bronze of every conceivable quality and shade of color, from high polish to heavy patina. He is the only American whose work can be likened to that of Chardin in terms of skill level, simplicity of subject, and interpretation of light. This particular work is endearing in that Carlsen usually built his surfaces up to an opaquer level, and here we see him using heavy medium mixed in with his paint to create a washier, thinner surface almost suggestive of a sketch rather than a finished work. This technique gives the work a relaxed feel and naturalistic quality

- Southland BoothsBy Matt CondronLocated in Fairfield, CTHaving spent many years as a photographer, Matt Condron is trained to recognize the importance of a moment or the preciousness of a fleeting opportunity. He is captivated by the idea of emptiness, as both a suggestion of solitude and as a state rife with the possibility of change and fulfillment. As a painter, he seeks out familiar, evocative scenes and concentrates on capturing the stillness of an empty room or vacant chair. His paintings can be seen as solitary, or as simply aberrant pauses between moments of frantic activity. The works are imbued with a quality of light that brings simple, content-rich objects into sharp focus. Condron attempts to establish not so much a connection to a chair or a room, but the feeling created by the wide embrace of emptiness. Ultimately, Condron creates scenes - part representation of real places, part invention from deep in his mind. The openness of his works invites the viewer to share the moment of quiet with him. By choosing places that seem to have been abruptly vacated, he attempts to awaken a connection to the moment before, or to the quietude he preserves inside himself in the form of memories.
