2022

About the Item

This realistic piece, "Rhythm of Timelessness", is a 20x28 oil painting on canvas by artist Ken Otsuka featuring a bright ocean beach shoreline in the midafternoon sun. Smell the sea salt air as the tide washes over the sand below, bringing seashell treasures and other findings with it's pull. Light is captured in the crest of the wave as it unfurls onto the coast leaving bands of foamy bubbles over the sand. About the artist: Ken Otsuka delivers timeless beauty to canvas with each masterful stroke of his brush. Ken is world renowned for his breathtakingly realistic landscape paintings that posses a natural elegance and produce a sense of wonder. Working directly from nature he chooses subjects for their beauty and symbolic qualities. Rocks and water suggest timelessness while trees and seashells are representative of the growth and change that are always present in life. Ken paints in a realist style gained from his studies at the Aoyama Institute in Tokyo and the famous Art Students League in New York. After his studies Ken went on to teach at the Adult School of Montclair and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. He has exhibited nationally for the past ten years and has work in private and corporate collections. Ken has recently moved to Massachusetts and continues to be inspired by the world around him. There is no doubt that the beauty of New England will encourage this painter to continue creating the spectacular paintings that have captured the hearts of so many people.

    LUIS GRANER Y ARRUFI Spanish, 1863 - 1929 MOONLIT RIVER SCENE signed and dated "L. Graner, 1925" (lower right) Oil on canvas 20-1/8 X 30 inches (51X 76 cm.) framed: 25-3/4 X 35-3/4 inches (65 X 90.5 cm.) PROVENANCE NEAL AUCTION COMPANY, New Orleans, LA, USA Private Collection, Barcelona Graner paints this work, Moonlit on the river, during his stay in the United States in the last stage of his artistic life, from 1910 to 1928, in full stage of maturity. This artwork reflects the constant search of the artist for the effects of light in his work. This persistent concern for light remains throughout his artistic life, which he learned in his Parisian stage under the influence of the painter Frances Platour. The silver light of the moon and the small lights at distance, which are tiny foci of artificial light, reflecting the river water, forming a chromatic range of greens, ocher and pearly that give a certain mystery to the composition, creating a modern approach to the landscape, by placing the two large trees at the edge of the river in the foreground Luís Graner y Arrufí, Spanish (1863–1929) was a Catalan painter in the Realistic style. He was born in Barcelona, and studied at the Escola de la Llotja from 1883, with Antoni Caba (color/composition) and Benet Mercadé (drawing). During his final year at school, he received a grant to study in Madrid, where he copied and learned from the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado. After that, supported by a fellowship, he moved to Paris and became a member of the Academie des Beaux-Arts. Later, he returned to Barcelona, but continued to travel to cities throughout Europe, including Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf. Influenced by Richard Wagner's concept of "Gesamtkunstwerk" (Total Work of Art), he was motivated to create his own total art experience and organized the "Sala Mercè" (Mercy Hall) in Barcelona's Rambla District. The project involved contributors from every artistic discipline, including the new field of cinematography. The room was decorated by Antoni Gaudí. Other participants included Adrià Gual, Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas...
