Ephraim Wuensch
Mixed Media "Louis Vuitton + Smirnoff Collab" Pop Art Drawing NYC Street Art

2019

About the Item

The bold and eclectic work of self taught artist Ephraim Wuensch is part social commentary part contemporary street art. These are mixed media reworked luxury magazine advertisements providing a humorous commentary on our contemporary consumerist culture. These ad reinterpretations offer a comic look at our consumer culture in this social media fueled mass consumerist era. His freestyle stream of consciousness pieces are a window into the creative mind of a contemporary Brooklyn artist straddling the worlds of Hasidic Jewish life within the greater setting of a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Influenced by an array of art and artists as diverse as vintage comics and cartoons, Jean Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring to Ben Katchor and Saul Steinberg as well as others, it calls to mind the Outsider, Art Brut of Jean Dubuffet. His seemingly simple lines and use of color belie a sharp wit and biting humor. Pop Art Judaica for the New Millennium has arrived in a unique and iconic oeuvre.

  • Untitled, Horse and Wagon Pastel Drawing Shtetl Judaica Scene Polish Jewish Life
    By Simon Natan Karczmar
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Simon Karczmar, Polish (1903 - 1982) Born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1903, Simon Karczmar studied art in Paris, where he lived for twenty years. Although he left France for Israel in 1962, most of his work evokes his experiences in Eastern Europe. Immigrated to Israel 1962 and joined Artists' Quarter in Safed. Represented Israel at exhibitions in Mexico, Canada, U.S.A. and Europe. In this series of images known collectively as Shtetl, Karczmar draws inspiration from his childhood memories of the vacations he spent at his grandfather's house in Lithuania. The word shtetl is Yiddish for little town and refers to the villages with significant Jewish populations that could once be found throughout Eastern Europe. The nostalgia of Karczmar's renderings contrasts with the darker views of life for Jews revealed in the photographs by Roman Vishniac and drawings of Ephraim Moshe Lilien...

  • One More Time (Black Devil) Outsider Art Painting, Drawing
    By Peter Dean
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Dean was born in 1934 of Jewish parents in a Berlin, Germany, that was falling prey to the Nazis. The family immigrated to New York City in 1938, and Dean was raised in the refugee community in Inwood. Dean's first show (ironically, in retrospect) was given him by the USIA in Brazil. In 1959, he returned to New York to work six months on, six months off in soil engineering and made art in the interims. He tried, and failed, to get into a Tenth Street Gallery. Studying painting at night with Andre Girard at City College pushed him over the edge, and in 1969 he committed himself to painting full time. Artists who impressed him in the '60s were Robert Beauchamp, Lester Johnson, Jan Muller...
