Saralene Tapley
"Portrait of Sean" Green Toned Abstract Contemporary Portrait of a Man

2021

About the Item

Green-toned abstract contemporary painting by Houston, TX artist Saralene Tapley. This portrait features a man wearing glasses against a dark green background. Unframed but framing options are available. Signed by the artist at the back. Artist Biography: Saralene Tapley is an Irish-American artist. Tapley had just recently moved back to Hous-ton, TX upon the completion of her MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She had previously lived in London and in Dublin for her BFA studies at Dublin’s National College of Art and Design. She had also completed her Masters's Degree in Humanities at the University of Houston - Clear Lake. Saralene’s childhood, as she would describe it, was “very colorful.” She lived in the United States until she was eleven, and then moved to Taiwan and Korea where she fin-ished secondary school. She had made quite a few friends, who she still faithfully keeps in touch with, from all over the world. Coming from a tight-knit family with four siblings, her brothers have been her best patrons. Her only sister, Ciarah, can be seen as a subject in Saralene’s triptych included in Encounters: A Retrospective, an exhibition currently on view at Reeves Art + Design in Houston, TX. Her family plays a vital role in her art-making. At one point, her works hung in a Montreal wine bar owned by her older brother, Matthew. Ciarah and her younger brother serve as both her collectors and critiques. She attributes most of her interest in art to her parents who have been very encouraging of her art career despite its many known challenges. Most of my training as a child came from her mother who hails from Wisconsin and is a very talented artist and teacher. She spent most of my childhood watching her draw portraits of local families and taking art classes. Her father, on the other hand, is a skilled carpenter and engineer from Dublin, Ire-land, and has hung her paintings and has done framing for her numerous paintings. Tapley’s works can be seen in various places such as various hotels and restaurants in her hometown of Dublin, Ireland. Saralene Tapley takes pleasure in the arts in a way that enables her to reinvent her craft over time. She takes interest in learning various mediums that further her artwork and her excellent talent in capturing what is essential in all of her subjects.

  • "DUAL Pop Icon No. 1", Monumental Contemporary Spray Painted Portrait
    By Paul Barces
    Located in Houston, TX
    Bold, graphic spray paint portrait piece by local Houston street artist DUAL titled "Pop Icon No. 1 ". Signed, titled, and dated on the back. This piece was featured at a solo exhibition of DUAL's work titled "Waste Nothing" at the Wedge Space in Houston, TX in 2016. Artist Biography: DUAL stands for the conflict between “street art” and “fine” art, between freeway burners and gallery exhibitions, between mass recognition and total anonymity. His bold lines and fresh colors are a break from the every day monotony of life in the city—a taste of urban subculture, whether you asked for it or not. While one may not have a choice in where and when they encounter a DUAL piece, DUAL leaves it up to the observer to assign a meaning to his work. By operating under a pseudonym, he lets his audience write their own narrative for who he is and the message he is trying to get across. Perhaps best known for his work with wheat paste, particularly since his feature in the 2011 wheat pasting documentary Stick ‘Em Up!, DUAL has never been one to confine himself to a particular medium, background, or context. He has been recognized not only for his work with silkscreen and spray paint, but also for his work with lithography and acrylics. Though his obsession with “making marks” stems from his background in graffiti, he has translated that into a passion for creating art. His “art” includes everything from large-scale murals to micro...
