About the Item

Anke Schofield was born in Ithaca, New York in 1972 and her father introduced her to the wonders of the camera early in life. She took the form readily and with enthusiasm. Schofield apprenticed with a number of artists in the New York area and received a scholarship to the Savannah College of Art and Design where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art. Throughout this period, she pursued her studies of color theory and painting, continuing to find in these endeavors greater creative stimulus and inspiration than she had known in her photographic work. Schofield's successful large-scale works feature fantastical dream-like images created through complex layering. Piqueing the imagination, her whimsical imagery of animate and inanimate objects integrated in unexpected ways is a sophisticated combination of photography, collage, oil paint, acrylic paint, wax and sometimes even tar. The juxtaposition of images is reinforced by the eclectic use of media. Schofield finishes her works with a smooth, shiny veneer of epoxy resins, creating a dreamlike “trance” by distancing the viewer from the textural physicality of her imagery. Schofield currently lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia. Companions

Sake of the Song
By Robert Mars
Located in Napa, CA
Robert Mars’ graphic compositions and rich colors provide an ideal medium in which to explore his fascination with the Golden Age of American popular culture and the icons of the 1950’s and 60’s. Drawing inspiration from the near-mythical fame that surrounded celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn before the instant and all-encompassing presence of the internet, Mars’ daring approach creates paintings with a nostalgic yet innovative vintage quality. Mars begins by defining borders and background planes of color with sheets of brown paper and then proceeds to layer paint and vintage paper ephemera. He selectively sands segments of the layers, allowing specific portions of the underpainting to shine through, creating the sensation that the viewer is getting glimpses through a window into the Golden Age of America. By incorporating actual pieces of print from the eras he so adores and sealing it all under shining, impenetrable resin, Mars’s artworks transform into physical remembrances of a period in America’s past so loved and idolized, yet will forever remain trapped in history. A graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York, his artwork was selected for the Absolut Vodka Blank campaign alongside Damien Hirst, and his largest sized piece to date was acquired by Philip Morris/Altria for their corporate headquarters in Virginia. In 2015 Mars was chosen for the cover of Neiman Marcus’ May Book, while CocaCola purchased several existing works and ordered commissions for a world tour celebrating the 100-year anniversary of their trademark bottle shape, in which his artwork was spotlighted. Mars is a featured artist for a custom high end wallpaper and tile series...
