Large-Scale Surrealist Figurative Landscape, Homage To Daumier by Tarmo Pasto
Compelling large-scale modernist oil painting titled "Homage To Daumier" by Dr. Tarmo Pasto (American, 1906-1986), c.1970. In this striking surrealist scene, a tall figure with spectacles, overcoat, and a top hat stands in the foreground and surveys a vivid dream-like landscape evocative of an expansive beach. A tiny figure on a horse resides on the bottom left of the bright blue canvas.
Titled "Homage to Daumier" bottom left and signed "Tarmo Pasto" bottom right.
Displayed in a painted frame.
Image size: 42"H x 51"W.
Framed size: 49"H x 58"W x 2"D.
Dr. Tarmo Pasto was a psychiatrist and artist, who taught psychology and art through the 1970s at California State College at Sacramento since the schools inception. He also authored a book on art, "The Space-Frame Experience in Art", published in 1964. He, however, was mainly known to the world for introducing the works of one of his patients, Martin Ramirez (1885-1963). Dr. Pasto was a psychiatrist for Ramirez in the late 1950s and provided him with quality art materials and also encouraged his artistic endeavors. The art of the insane was of particular intrest to Dr. Pasto who would often use examples of it in his classroom lectures.
Dr. Pasto was also very instrumental in initiating a number of Bay Area exhibitions of what today is considered outsider art. In the 1970's Dr. Pasto with the help of artist James Nutt, provided the first public showing of Martin Rameriz's art work. Thus Tarmo gets much of the credit for introducing one of the well-known Outsider artists to the world. He also discovered the outsider artist P.M. Wentworth and promoted his work.
Tarmo Pasto was a long-time contributor to the California art scene, as well as an art teacher and psychologist to many successful artists.

- Color ShotBy Leonardo AguirreLocated in Los Angeles, CAUruguayan artist Leonardo Aguirre creates visually animated surreal scenes in a theatrical environment. Aguirre rearranges whimsical components into unexpectedly harmonious ways of surreal settings that could only exist in an alternate dimension. The idea of a colorful atmosphere with everyday recognizable signs and elements allows the art aficionado to imagine scenes one day and discover another story the next day. His work is a post-constructivist style that has roots in the legacy school of Torres-García. This one-of-a-kind 24-inch square original artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The sides are painted. It does not require framing and is signed by the artist on the front of the artwork. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable U.S. and global shipping is also available. Aguirre's architectural training is evident in his expert use of planes of color and precise brushwork to construct immersive, surreal environments that transport viewers to alternate dimensions. His whimsical rearrangement of everyday objects and recognizable signs creates unexpectedly harmonious settings that are visually stunning and emotionally evocative. Aguirre's artworks invite viewers to explore his mini-universes and discover new stories with each visit. Aguirre was born and lives in Montevideo, Uruguay. His works have been exhibited in Italy, Uruguay, Belgium, the UK, Argentina, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

- CheckmateBy Yuri Martinez RamosLocated in Los Angeles, CAYURI MARTINEZ RAMOS "CHECKMATE" OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2017 53.25 X 41.5 INCHES "Checkmate" is that great end-finale, that surprised everyone because you basically were playing or getting ready for a totally different game. An unexpected move from the governments who always have a "card up their sleeve" to screw you. Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964. He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983. Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma. Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas. Papillon Gallery...Category
