About the Item

Signed, verso, on original backing, 'Shannon Bickford' (American, 20th century) with artist information, titled, 'Window Series III' and painted circa 1990. Sheet dimensions: 14.75 x 14 inches Shannon Bickford received degrees in Biology, Special Major (combining Art and Biology), and Psychology from California State University at Fresno. She has exhibited throughout California and taught art at the State Center Community College District, CSUF, and UOP. Her biological and botanical illustrations have been published in laboratory manuals and in entomological and botanical texts. The artist says of her work: "I paint in a realistic manner, but strive to go beyond realism to a space more spiritual, personal, and engaging. I use that realism to tell a story, often intensely personal and incorporating my personal symbols, and sometimes further explore that story by writing on my painting. Often images end up as mandalas. I did my dog paintings towards the end of the 1980's and the beginning of the 1990's. I used charcoal wash (sprinkled charcoal on the paper and splashed it with water) and darks often mixed with India ink. On some, I used acrylic paint. I would label them Mixed media with watercolor. They are all on Arches or Fabriano paper." and, of this work, "I had a Weimaraner named Belle that I painted a lot. Other dogs belonged to a friend who trained dogs and every summer would have a birthday party for her dogs and invited about 20 dogs. This window was one in the house on Larkspur Lane in Stockton."

Leap, Watercolour on Paper, Yellow , Brown White Color "In Stock"
By Prashant Salvi
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Prashant Salvi Leap, Watercolour, Acrylic, Charcoal on Paper 22 x 30 inches, 2016 (shipped in a roll form) "I have built my career on surrealist,anatomical/botanical fantasies; beautifully rendered yet sometimes haunting and gruesome, void of irony and done with absolute sincerity. My work builds meaning primarily by exploring the unbridgeable difference between animals and people. A proactive imagery of humans and animals suggests an investigation of linguistics, the natural sciences and human sociology all in respect to the parallel universe of other species alongside us. I use a seemingly detached abstraction as a counter-point, tomy- stylised fabrications of sexual desire"- Prashant Salvi An undercurrent of eroticism, viewed with a steady detachment often can be part of Salvi's works, morphing human and animal forms and throwing psychological riddles challenging the viewer to decide where life begins or ends. Salvi's watercolours with its technical virtuosity turn images from nature to a surrealistic dance of survival. The works are challenging, complex and magically real and acknowledge life’s gentleness and aggressiveness in unison. While nature’s logic could be used to argue the very existence of an omnipotent creator, Salvi, paradoxically suggests ambiguity to life's bigger and deeper questions; answers of which he feels don't come in neat packages.
