About the Item
"Striking" Geometric Surrealist Landscape in Acrylic on Canvas
Bright and lively surrealist landscape by Randy Dunham (American, b. 1961). A sphere of water takes center stage in this composition, struck by a ray of light that transforms into a lightning bolt. The sphere reflects a stark landscape consisting of mountains reflected in a body of still water. The same landscape is visible surrounding the sphere at the horizon. Various other geometric shapes surround the sphere, tearing through the sky and casting shadows across the water.

No frame, but a deep 1.5" stretcher which is painted white on the edges to be hung unframed if desired.

Randy Dunham (American, b. 1961) was born in Troy New York and grew up in Gansevoort, New York. Dunham has been deaf since birth and attended the New York State School for the Deaf where he developed his artistic skills. In 1979, Dunham attended NTID at the Rochester Institute of Technology, studying applied art and medical lab technology. After running a picture framing business for several years, Dunham began to paint seriously in the mid-1990s, beginning the transition towards becoming a full-time artist in 2000.
Drawing from the work of surrealist artists like Salvador Dali, Dunham’s art focuses on themes of reflection, refraction, and transparency, bringing inanimate objects to life in a surrealist fashion. He sees his work as a mix of science and art, creating a world where time is eternal and space is infinite.
PERSPECTIVE:
Randy Dunham’s art is a form of focus employing REFLECTION, REFRACTION, and TRANSPARENCY, which transform randomly selected inanimate and industrial shape into a spectacle of wonder and vision. These transformed objects come to life through the mastery of created illusions of transparency and levitation. A dazzling array of color shifts and vibrant accents are incorporated on the surface of these dreamlike art forms. The laws of nature seem reversed, yet are portrayed stunningly in a realistic style that takes the viewer beyond the limits of reality, into vast new dimensions of the fantastically impossible. A new life for the beholder is born via his inspirational message – from a world where time is eternal and space is infinite- leaving a pleasing on the soul, the artist’s true mark.

- Looking at the Swallow Birds - Large Original Painting on CanvasLocated in Los Angeles, CAMohamad Khayata’s original figurative artworks are the result of five years of displacement and deal with themes of migration, memory, and identity. Mohamad’s paintings exhibit an array of emotions, ranging from bliss and comfort to tension and uncertainty. Many of his artworks portray a sense of transience, which is all the more palpable when considering that Khayata's intimate work is a tribute to displaced people and to their daily life stories that, far from familiar surroundings, are filled with effort and hope. Khayata created this original painting with acrylic paint on canvas. It measures 46 inches high by 39 inches wide. This artwork was created in the artist's new studio after his previous studio was destroyed in the 2020 blast in Beirut. It is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas. This painting is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this original work. This artwork is part of a new series of imagery by the artist, in which Khayata's illustrative paintings are strategically placed to mingle with people and the environment. These paintings amass a memorial narrative; connecting the artist and the viewer to the rich cultural heritage of Syria and the larger narrative of what it means to be home. Born in Damascus, Syria, artist Mohamad Khayata was forced to flee his home country due to ongoing political conflict. Khayata has been living in Beirut, Lebanon since 2012. His work is a resounding call for transformation and unity within his home country. His photography project "Stitching my Syria back" was chosen to be part of Journeys Festival International 2016 as a landmark for the “Look up” project in Leicester, where his photographs were installed on ten buildings. During this public exhibition coordinated with the Royal Institute of British Architects, his photographs were installed on ten buildings, fostering a deeper connection between art and the public, highlighting empowerment and enriching a younger generation’s aspirations for the future. In the last few years, Khayata has participated in an increasing number of collective exhibitions across Europe and the Middle East, where his distinctive style and original approach have captivated audiences, leading to sold-out exhibitions each time, cementing his status as a sought-after artist in the global art scene. Holding his BA in Fine Arts obtained at Damascus University, Khayata is a bastion of Syrian legacy, memory, home, and happiness.
