About the Item
Artist Comments
This encaustic painting blends the elements of still life and seascape, portraying a table set up of rosé against the backdrop of a tranquil bay. The composition incorporates cutouts from a 1906 Harpers Bazaar. Made with beeswax, oil paint, and a collage cradled on a wooden panel, the artwork exudes a vintage charm.
About the Artist
When James Hartman was in art school, he became fascinated with the Society of Six, a group of artists who painted en plein air (outdoors) and exhibited together in the San Francisco Bay Area during the early 20th Century. James's paintings of the Northern California landscape pay tribute to some of the great Bay Area artists of the past. His expressive scenes feel alive through his vibrant use of color and his painterly brushwork. James’s paintings have an immediate visual impact from a distance, yet up close, dissolve into a series of confident marks and strokes. There is a simultaneous complexity and steadiness in his flattened, color-blocked planes. Knowledge and observation are essential elements of James’s working practice. To this end, he spends a large proportion of his time painting on location. His body of work captures the fresh and sunlit essence of the coastal California hills.
