About the Item

Bon Voyage (Paper Planes) is a mixed media painting (acrylic, gold enamel, charcoal, pencil and ink on archival cotton paper, signed 'afn' lower right and framed in a contemporary black moulding. Anne Faith Nicholls is a unique contemporary artist, illustrator, curator, and collector whose work is published and exhibited around the world. Nicholls is most recognized for her original paintings and exhibitions, which have earned her acclaim with art critics and collectors alike. She has also contributed to a variety of high-profile commercial projects, with corporate clients such as VANS, Wind Up Records, GenArt, Visa and Keds Shoes.  Nicholls’ artwork provides a refreshing look at the soul of the modern woman and artist, speaking with a truly contemporary voice, a unique narrative style and an independent spirit. Described as a Neo-Surrealist or Neo-Folk-Surrealist artist, her work is both dark and inspirational, pulling from her personal experience and her own beliefs. She is most inspired by American Folk art, French, Mexican and Socialist Surrealism and Society Portraiture of the 19th and early 20th century. Her folk aesthetic has an inviting familiarity that encourages the viewer to explore the work and understand the nuances. With recurring themes such as love, anger, cleansing, and environmentalism Nicholls touches on universal concerns, yet she creates from a highly personalized narrative place. Like many Neo-Surrealists, she has created over time her own recurring symbols that aid her expression. The most common symbols in her art include cleansing rains, destructive flames, lightning, women, hands, animals, and the human heart. The fascinating result is a classically trained oil painter steeped in the highly personal dreamworld of surrealist metaphysics.

  • Claire - Original Large Scale Silver Sally K Artwork
    By Sally K
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    As your gaze lingers on one of Sally K’s paintings, you notice how Sally’s brush strokes add playfulness and life to the canvas, incorporating unexpected images and shapes of flowers, or abstract color combinations to convey the vibrant beauty of a woman’s hair. Sally K was born in Ohio following her family’s emigration from Lebanon. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Saudi Arabia, where she stayed until she was 14. Sally then attended high school and college in Beirut, where she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts with distinction from the Lebanese American University of Beirut. In 2013, Sally and her family moved back to the United States and she now works out of her studio in California. This unique 40 inch high by 66 inch wide painting...

  • Loud Mouth - colorful surrealist portrait
    Located in West Hollywood, CA
    "Loud Mouth" is a surrealist multi-media sculptural painting made with acrylic, paper, fabric, beads on a canvas and wood. The figures' mouth, made from wood, extends past the painting bringing the painting to life. The lashes on the figure are extended with thread which has been sewn into the canvas. INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WORK - "'Loud Mouth' was brought to life via a string of impulses similar to the ones that may lead to someone being pegged as a "loudmouth." A "loudmouth" is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "a person who tends to talk too much in an offensive or tactless way." In my experience, however, "loudmouth" is usually used to describe someone who fits into only the first part of that definition (talks "too much"), and as a result — regardless of what they're saying — is perceived as too loud. Surely, of course, there are also those that fall into the offensive or tactless zone, but this painting isn't about them. This painting is about those who are so busy being their wonderful selves, they don't have the time or care to consider how others perceive them. It is a celebration of being genuine and sticking out past expected boundaries because you are confident in the worth of your spill-over." - Artist Megan Dune...
