Thomas McKnight
Barbuda (Caribbean Daydreams)

1997

About the Item

Barbuda from the Caribbean Daydreams portfolio is a serigraph on paper measuring 16 x 18 inches, signed 'McKnight' lower right and annotated lower left. Framed in a contemporary, black frame. Numbered XXXI/CC from the edition of 510 (there were also 60 AP, 200 Arabic, and 50 HC). Framed in a contemporary black moulding. After seeing serigraphs from Thomas McKnight’s Caribbean Daydreams portfolio, it is hard to imagine this necklace of tropical islands any other way. McKnight’s sapphire seas, hibiscus reds and swaying palms bring back the smell of frangipani, salt water and the sound of the steel band playing in the next cove. Tranquility resonates through his rendering of these tropical islands, soothing not only the body, but the soul. McKnight’s reality becomes ours as we enter through the doors and windows of his images. Through his work, we see more than reproduced images of inviting locations. McKnight strives to capture more of the place, the spirit of it, alchemically offering us a nurturing place of retreat. “Through McKnight’s sensuous, sometimes fantastic, always captivating images, we see that our yearning for a trip to warm climes represents more than a need for a vacation. McKnight’s imagery is a feast for the senses, a visual odyssey, a sort of resting place for the soul.” – Annie Gottlieb (McKnight, Thomas; Gottlieb, Annie. Voyage to Paradise: A Visual Odyssey. Harper Collins, San Francisco, 1993.) Martin Lawrence Galleries is an affiliate of Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts, the original publisher of this print. This print is as new, with no prior ownership.

  • Canyon Rock (Sacred Places)
    Located in Greenwich, CT
    Canyon Rock is a serigraph on paper with an image size 24 x 18 inches, signed 'Ricker' lower right and annotated lower left. Framed in a contemporary gold-tone frame. Numbered 81/200, from the edition of 500 (there were also 50 Roman on paper, 200 Arabic on canvas and 50 Roman on canvas). Framed in a contemporary silver-tone moulding. Ricker created four stunning images for a suite titled ‘Sacred Places’ – all powerful images of earthly splendor. The vistas he paints, almost desolate in a primeval way, are a chorus of voices that sing of the glory of nature. In a style which he calls ‘Epic Visionary,’ he presents a view that is at once new and fresh and yet as deep-rooted and enduring as the pristine landscapes themselves. In the images of ‘Sacred Places,’ Ricker’s harmonious layering and blending of colors, muted blues and greens, contrast with the jutting precipices and craggy outcrops of rock that punctuate each portrait. The effects of the elements are visible and beautiful, creating carved layers in the rock and earth, and weaving a ribbon of shimmering water as a central feature in each work. “…these places…are sacred places – they are sacred because their beauty is so deep and mysterious that we are stopped in our tracks…for the moment, we can’t imagine anything better on earth or in heaven.” – Bruce...
