Artist Biography: Jim Pirtle was born in Houston, TX in 1960. In High School, he was selected "Most Nonconformist." He went to Baylor University in Waco, TX, and received a BA in history but more importantly, was a member of the NoZe Brotherhood. The group was an underground mask-wearing secret society of satirists that through writing, campus interventions, and performance art exposed the hypocrisy of conservative Baptists. After college, he moved to Austin, TX, and got a job as an orderly at the Austin State Hospital. This was a crash course education in the extremes of human behavior. After two years in the locked up insaneness of collecting urine, breaking up fights and mopping up spontaneous miscarriages he jumped to the other extreme, moving back to Houston and becoming a Kindergarten teacher for 10 years ? innocence and hope.
During the mid 80's he was becoming an obsessive painter and found the local art community. He moved into an artist warehouse and got his formal art training from Nestor Topchy and Mark Flood. A thrift store addict, he wore only polyester for seven years which eventually became his canvas. He also developed his trademark performance art persona, Stu Mulligan, a man that ate mayonnaise and chug-a-lugged hot sauce and mimicked the behaviors of the mentally ill while singing lounge music. He co-founded a theater and performance space with Nestor Topchy which began the concept of notsuoH ? an 1893 building of 15,000 square feet that became a monumental social sculpture on Main Street in downtown Houston. it attracts the extremes and in-between of a community to interact and be whatever it is to be human.

Vintage Figurative Abstract of Lady on Red
Located in Soquel, CA
Vintage Latin American School Figurative Abstract of a Lady in a Red Landscape.
Intriguing and moody piece by California-based Latin American artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece features a dark red abstracted background. On the left side of the piece, the outline of a building is visible providing the sense of a cityscape. Diagonal lines cross at the base of the woman's body and then fade backward into space. The red tones of the background are accentuated by large swaths of blue-toned blacks. The woman fades into this background, her pale face being the eye-catching center of the painting. Behind her, another figure rendered in simple shapes is just visible.
Signed "de silva 86" in bottom left corner
Acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size: 20"H x 16"W
From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's. He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg...
