Michael CarrGratefull Bloom (oil on canvas)
About the Item
This piece was painted in the calm days following a dangerous snowstorm. After pushing through fear and uncertainty, I found myself unexpectedly still—grateful simply to be safe. Grateful Bloom came from that space of reflection and quiet emotion. It’s not a literal depiction of flowers, but an emotional expression of survival, peace, and presence.
I was deeply inspired by Van Gogh’s ability to turn internal states into visual language. His swirling, textured brushstrokes, his emotional honesty, and the life he gave to even the simplest subjects encouraged me to approach this work not with precision, but with feeling. The twisting stems and oversized blossoms in this piece are expressive, not accurate—meant to feel as if they’re breathing, reaching, moving through space the same way emotions do after a storm.
The background radiates a soft warmth, almost golden, representing the comfort and clarity that follows chaos. The abstract nature of the piece allowed me to focus on movement and color, layering texture and gesture in a way that felt spontaneous, unfiltered, and alive.

James O’Shea’s deeply pigmented abstractions are grounded in the landscape. Taking his cues from the bare winter months in the Northeast when the horizon is stripped of its foliage, he suggests that “So much of life’s structure reveals itself when it goes into hibernation”.

Gold & Despair
By Johanna Schwarzbeck
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Gold & Despair is my adaptation of Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece "The Woman In Gold", also known as The Mona Lisa of Austria. Having admired the symbolic art of Klimt since my working days as a fine art restorer at Vienna’s prestigious Conservation Institute (Bundesdenkmalamt) in the 1980’s, I conceived the idea to recreate the jewel of his gilded period with an interpretive lens on the looming darkness of the Holocaust and World War II.
As a native of Austria, Salzburg, I have developed an appreciation for Klimt’s art, and Art Nouveau in general. For the last thirty years, I have lived in New York City and worked as a fine art restorer, conservator, and painter as well as in the healing arts.
Klimt had executed The Woman in Gold in the span of four years (1903-1907). My own creative process during 2014-2017, reflects my diligent care and thoroughness in rendering the original painting. In 2014, I started with the preparation of the canvas using Klimt’s original size of 54 x 54 inches (167 x 167 cm). For gesso, I used the traditional method of rabbit skin glue and chalk. For the painting, I used oil paints and genuine 23.5 karat gold in various shades, as well as silver leaves, to magnify the brilliant sheen of Klimt’s gold...
