Miranda Gamel
A New Kingdom, Oil Painting

2019

About the Item

Artist Comments
"A New Kingdom was created through the idea of coming and going, moving through new thresholds, from one paradise to the next," explains artist Miranda Gamel. A contemporary tableau of parrots in flight and at rest. Their bright orange bellies provide a stunning contrast to their blue feathers and the blue and purple backdrop. Miranda adds, "We all must leave at one point; our jobs, friends, our old lives, but it will never be in vain."


About the Artist
The daughter of two artists, Miranda Gamel grew up with artistic aspirations. “When I was young, I couldn’t imagine that I would be anything else… it only seemed natural,” she says. She further developed her skills with her teachers (and fellow UGallery artists) John and Elli Milan. Miranda’s paintings exist on the edge of the surreal and the fantastical while remaining grounded in human emotion. Each painting, through its dynamic imagery, conveys the spirit embodied by the composition’s subject. Miranda’s ultimate goal is to portray each individual “being their true, raw, authentic self.”

The Derby Race
By Shao Yuan Zhang
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
This painting was inspired by the idea that we are shaped by outside forces, but remain unchanged, we persist in the face of adversity. It is what makes us human. My energetic oil paintings of stallions explore and illustrate movement through nature. This work represents an immigrant journey or strength and perseverance. I incorporate both contemporary (watercolor) and traditional (ink calligraphy) painting styles into this series.

New Horizon, Oil Painting
By Miranda Gamel
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
A stoic portrait of a cheetah looking out over a glowing sunset, with the animal's cool and collected pose amplified by the painterly surroundings. "This piece gives a sense of the calm before the storm - of inner peace," says artist Miranda Gamel. "The cheetah is looking out into the fast landscape, looking for a sign, all while knowing there will be one to find."

Top Dog - Original animal surrealistic painting-contemporary art
Located in London, Chelsea
"Top Dog" by Michael Abrams is a contemplative and evocative painting that blends surrealism with subtle historical references. The painting features a hound-headed figure dressed in a bowler hat, staring off into the distance with a passive, expressionless gaze. Above him, a formation of iconic Spitfire planes flies across the sky, adding a layer of nostalgia and reflection to the piece. The contrast between the figure’s serene demeanor and the dynamic energy of the planes creates a poignant tension, hinting at themes of remembrance and the passage of time. The hound’s vacant expression suggests a connection to the past, perhaps a longing or a distant memory tied to the era of the Spitfires. Abrams’ use of soft, blended tones and careful attention to detail gives the painting a dreamlike quality, enhancing its surreal atmosphere. "Top Dog" is a powerful piece that invites viewers to reflect on the connections between past and present, memory and identity, all through the lens of Abrams’ unique and imaginative vision. Available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online, where viewers can experience the evocative and thought-provoking world of Abrams' art from anywhere in the world. Artist Bio: Michael Abrams, a self-taught artist from Yorkshire, has been passionate about art from an early age, always determined to build a career in the field. He began his journey as a freelance greeting card artist, where his distinctive designs quickly caught the eye of leading publishers. This early success led to licensing opportunities, propelling his artwork to international recognition, including exhibitions in New York and the publication of two illustrated books by HarperCollins. Abrams' artistic versatility extended to ceramics, where his work was featured in a celebrated range for Wedgwood. His transition into the fine art world was seamless, becoming a top-selling artist with major UK fine art publishers. Today, as he forms strong partnerships with independent galleries, Abrams enjoys a growing number of successful exhibitions both in the UK and internationally, solidifying his reputation as a prominent figure in contemporary art. Discover the captivating contemporary surrealism of Michael Abrams at Signet Contemporary Art, available for purchase both in our London gallery and online. Each piece is a testament to Michael's remarkable talent and distinctive vision, drawing you into a world of imaginative and thought-provoking art. “As a contemporary artist, my work delves into the surreal with my latest series, "Hound Heads." Drawing inspiration from the imaginative worlds of René Magritte and Saul Steinberg, I seek to explore the familiar yet peculiar. In these paintings, I present the ordinary, typically British suited...
