Unknown
'Adam', By Unknown, Enamel on Metal on Wood

About the Item

This 43.75" x 19.5" work incorporates three painted metal panels on a white wood base depicting a simplistic rendering of Adam from the biblical story of 'Adam & Eve'. The figure is slightly cut off on the right edge of the work, with the majority of the figure visible on the very right edge of his body, including an arm and shoulder. Adam's torso is unclothed and his lower half covered by a wrapped, light purple/pink cloth. Adam's one visible arm reaches above and to the left hand side of the work and looks as though he is about to grab a green leaf that hangs from the left side of top edge of the composition. His wrist is accessorized with a golden cuff. Just above his head are two more green leaves and an apple that hang from the right side of the top edge. Below Adam's raised arm, is a partially visible bowl of apples that sits upon a blue table. Emerging from the left hand side of the bottom edge is another green stem with three leaves branching off, positioned just in front of the blue table that the bowl of apples sits upon. The background of the work, behind the figure, table, bowl and leaves, is a white cloudy application of paint layered over a beige/light tan color. The three panels are each the same size. The bottom panel consists of Adam's lower half, the blue table, the bottom of the bowl of apples, and the one plant that emerges from the bottom edge of the work. The middle panel consists of the bowl of the apples, Adam's torso, upper arm and shoulders. The top panel includes Adam's head, forearm and hand, as well as the two plants that hang from the top edge of the composition. The artist employs a linear style of paint application, in which the paint creates a line of vision, specifically defining and outlining the subjects within the work.

'Untitled Assemblage #S3-23', by John Wolfe, Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
John Wolfe's Mixed Media Abstract Sculpture, "Untitled Assemblage #S 3-23" brings together wood, steel, ceramic elements, and acrylic paint. The warm colors of the wood and painted ceramic elements soften the feel of the rectilinear arrangement. The shallow depth of the work gives the sculpture a kind of "drawing" quality while the shadows it casts lend a more expansive feel. The heavy, dark wood base anchors all aspects of the work in place. This work is the perfect tabletop piece. It's large enough to command attention, but also subtle in its open framework arrangement. John Wolfe was born in Vernon...
