Felipe FredesSelf-Portrait, silver gelatin print on canvas, neuroscience triptych 2017
2017
About the Item
As an artist and neuroscientist, Fredes uses a scientific process called freeze fracture labeling, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to take images of the brain tissue at a sub-cellular scale and then transfer the image via silver gelatin. This resolution is 1,000 times greater than a light microscope and about 500,000 times greater than that of a human eye. The result is a crater-like abstraction that serves as the foundation of his Self-Portrait.
Furthermore, Fredes is interested in how the viewer’s eyes meet his work and the optical function of how our eyes see fine details, or our “foveal vision.” Inspired by the writing of Merleau-Ponty, he explains through his paintings that “vision is far from being passive, vision is active […] movement is a consequence of vision.” Our eyes naturally connect-the-dots through color, information, and details that will explain the narrative of the image so we can decipher it’s meaning. Fredes uses these silver gelatin printing sourced from his scientific practice to underscore the mystery and allure of the gaze moving across a crater-like landscape that makes up our brain. He then paints over a portion of the silver gelatin backdrop he finds most inviting and disrupts the composition, and ultimately, the gaze of the viewer.
This work is exceptional because it’s his only Self-Portrait that encompasses Fredes’s favorite techniques as an artist and neuroscientist. It took nearly a decade to master this type of craftsmanship.

- UntitledBy Michael GoldbergLocated in Austin, TXOil, pastel, and paper collage on canvas. Signed and dated verso. 52.75 x 47.75 in. 54 x 49 in. (framed) Gilded floater frame. Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings. From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League. Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...Category
