Katherine Filice
Alchemy I - Contemporary Abstract Figure Drawing in Black & White Pen + Ink

2020

About the Item

'Alchemy I' is a figurative contemporary drawing on paper, produced by artist Katherine Filice. A realistic rending of a human face is visually both suspended and supported by a combination of vertical and horizontal lines. In the sectioned-off areas of the outer features, line weight and pattern articulate the spatial details of the positive space of the composition. “This mix of graphite and ink line-making, of old and new joining together was incredibly restorative for me to create. It’s soft and quiet. It is created very peacefully in my studio with Beethoven playing in the background. A homage to the history of many of the pieces. We will ship this via standard parcel boxed with internal support to maintain the integrity of the piece. The work will be fully insured during shipping. If you prefer a different shipping method, inquire, and we are happy to accommodate your requests. Our first priorities are our collectors' satisfaction and the artwork's safety in transit.

  • Pondering being Naked - Sexy Girl taking off Bikini - Female Cartoonist
    Located in Miami, FL
    This work clearly has homosexual overtones which in the mid-'40s was as daring as showing nudity. I am not sure if this was the artist's intention but the salesgirl and the model look identical and she signs it twice Shermond. Added to this is a strobe light effect where the model's image is partly replicated giving the impression of 2 figures. She's lost in thought pondering the notion of removing the bows and seeing the consequences. Meanwhile, the sales girls ( perhaps her alta ego - perhaps an admirer ) eggs her on. Caption: "You can always remove the bows if you think they're too fussy." Cover cartoon for unknown publication - Signed "Shermund" twice in the lower right image, dated on verso, and captioned in graphite in the lower margin. Original Matte and not framed - Barbara Shermund...

  • Group of 3 Figure Drawings by Attributed to Ross Bleckner
    By Ross Bleckner
    Located in Larchmont, NY
    Attributed to Ross Bleckner (American, b. 1949) Group of 3 Double Sided Drawings Watercolor and graphite on paper All approx. 24 x 18 in. Ross Bleckner grew up in Hewlett, Long Island, New York; drawing all the time without being aware that other artists existed. He was the middle child between two sisters; his father manufactures electronic parts He attended New York University where Sol Lewitt, Chuck Close and others were his teachers. He graduated in 1972, then spent a year at the California Institute of Arts. His contacts in the next few years were very fortuitous; Sol Lewitt and Chuck Close, Carl Andre, David Salle, Julian Schnabel, etc. Bleckner is on the nervous side, beset by self-doubt, insomnia, and gloom. He is unpretentious, although he is bluntly handsome, with olive complexion, and a compact build. He is "10 percent that is superficial and 90 percent that has to do with the depths and that is threatened by living. He is a very complicated individual. He is a very, very morose, deeply feeling, hardworking artist- he takes a lot from within himself - but always, no matter how successful he is, he feels he is going to fall into those depths." 1 Bleckner first exhibited his work in New York in 1974. The following year he was given his first one-man show; he was included in the 1975 Whitney Biennial.. Since about 1985 has addressed many of his paintings to the subject of AIDS- both documenting it as a historical phenomenon and commemorating specific individuals who have died. Written and submitted by Jean Ershler Schatz, artist and researcher from Laguna Woods, California. Bio sourced from the Archives of askArt. Sources include: Ross Bleckner's Mood Indigo by Lisa Liebmann, in ARTnews, May 1993...
