About the Item

Contemporary artist Thomas Roese, inspired by the industrial landscape of steel mills, rail yards, architectural details, and urban neighborhoods surrounding him, created a series of realist drawings in a grand-scale format. The details in each piece challenge one to stand back and enjoy the big view – they hold up from a distance and close-up. This impressive mixed media work-on-paper was made using graphite and acrylic paint. “Urban Series: Promised” is signed and dated in the lower right image and titled on the verso. The paper size is 29 x 22.13 inches. Inspired by the geometric landscape of his hometown Thomas Roese has created a photorealist series using acrylic, graphite, and colored pencil. Since graduating from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1971, Mr. Roese has been busy making his career as an artist and art educator. Since 1973 he has taught Drawing in the Continuing Education Department at the Cleveland Institute of Art and is a high school art teacher and department chair in Parma City, Ohio. Roese was recognized as an outstanding classroom art teacher and invited to participate in the AICA New York Summer Studio Program. His work is in the Cleveland Museum of Art and the American Embassy in Stockholm as well as numerous corporate art collections. He has served on the board of The Print Club of Cleveland and Artists Archives of the Western Reserve.

Hidden Cities I / second state
By Peter Milton
Located in New York, NY
“Hidden Cities I : The Ministry. Second State.” Contemporary artist Peter Milton created this etching and engraving in 2006. The printed image size is Image size 23.50 x 36.88 inches and the paper size is 31 x 42 inches. This impression is signed, dated, and titled in pencil and inscribed “11/75” – the 11th impression from the total printing of 75. “I do love to draw. I feel that I am being granted membership in the Brotherhood of Merlin, conjuring forth some apparition. As a drawing develops, I sense a vague presence coming more and more into focus, something in a white fog emerging and becoming increasingly palpable.” – P. Milton, “The primacy of touch. The Drawings of Peter Milton” “Working in layers, Milton begins with drawings based on people and places, with nods to Western art history and culture. He is a master of the appropriated image, a term that may conjure Andy Warhol and his Pop Art comrades. But Milton steps further back in history, avoiding the Pop sense of cool advertising and popular culture references. Instead, a broader cultural past is tapped through historical photographs of key players, architecture, and locales, which he reinvents by hand. He adds content drawn from his life as an avid reader – always with multiple possible interpretations – thus incorporating deeper meaning in his cinematic worlds. Elements of Greek mythology, classical music, art history, and history coalesce in his images, which embrace the messiness, sorrow, and elation that is life. One is hard-pressed to imagine a more erudite, skilled, passionate, and cheeky soul. In addition to a storied career in printmaking, since 2007 Milton has fearlessly produced artwork digitally. He now creates images using Adobe Photoshop in files consisting of more than two thousand layers, which are printed both as digital prints on paper and, for display on Led light boxes...
