Xiao Ming
"Pray Sky & Sky Mask, " Mixed Media, Signed

2001

About the Item

"Pray Sky & Sky Mask" is a mixed media piece on paper signed by the artist Xiao Ming. It depicts a variety of surreal and abstracted figures in red, blue, and yellow. 34" x 34 1/4" art 43 1/2" x 43 5/8" frame Born in the Yunnan province of China, close to Tibet, Xiao Ming founds her artwork on her beliefs and traditions of living with nature as a guardian and protector. These beliefs and traditions may have influenced Ming to favor colored inks, a gouache of sorts derived from mineral pigments bound by using animal glue. Ming’s work is steeped in Chinese art history, influenced by the ancient scroll paintings depicting the mountains of China. Xiao Ming interprets the Chinese landscape juxtaposed with her own personages and figures. In addition to possessing a unique talent with natural art, Xiao Ming combines her quiet faith with a sense of aestheticism, holding them in a kind of symbolism that, to the western eye, remains shrouded in mystery.

'Scratch The Earth, Let The Telephone Ring' original assemblage by Joel Jaecks
By Joel Jaecks
Located in Milwaukee, WI
'Scratch The Earth, Let The Telephone Ring' is a rare early example of the small-scale assemblages that American artist Joel Jaeks began producing in the 1980s. As with all of his assemblages, the artwork is constructed inside an envelope-sized paper board box – then filled with what can only be called memories, ideas and fading dreams. 'Scratch The Earth, Let The Telephone Ring' is covered on the exterior and interior by splatters of blue and red paint, applied with the same vigor as the Abstract Expressionist canvases of Jackson Pollock. On the back, four squares cut from a screenprint of a winter landscape form a window to the themes on the inside: pasted on the back, a Victorian postcard...
