Debout (Standing)- Urban Landscape Painting, New York City
Located in Paris, FR
Ink and acrylic on old book pages mounted on canvas, 81 x 116 cm. Through his figurative paintings, Guillaume Chansarel seeks to capture the graphic identity of a city (in this case, the Manhattan skyline), in the same way as an architecture photographer would. The singularity of the artist's work lays in the great realism of his works, but also in the original surface he paints on: pages of vintage books...

Street Tree in a Deluge impressionistic landscape
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A heavy downpour smashes against the windshield distorting the scene ahead. Part of the "windshield series" this painting emphasizes some of the linear aspects of rain and water, as well as motion. Heavy rain experienced from a place of comfort. My windshield paintings aim to capture these fleeting and intimate moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of natures turbulence. "Street Tree in a Deluge" is painted on gallery wrapped linen, on 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers, with color matched, hand painted edges, wired with finger friendly coated wire and ready for installation. A childhood of moving and traveling around the United States has shaped Katherine Keans vision, as have journeys to eastern Africa, Mexico, Scotland, France and painting jaunts all over Keans now native California. Born in West Virginia, moving later to Ohio and New Jersey, but growing up mainly in Massachusetts, she attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a BFA in Film, Video and Animation. Long fascinated by the intersection of order and chaos in the natural world, Katherine Kean skillfully uses observation, memory, and interpretation to translate her love of natures kinetic phenomena into paintings that capture the often turbulent emotions within light, weather, and landscapes. Her work has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, including the LACMA Art Rental and Sales Gallery and the Brand Library Art Gallery in Los Angeles...

Spanish family portrait oil on canvas painting
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Julián Grau Santos is one of the most outstanding and prominent figurative painters and illustrators on the national scene. He was born in Canfranc (Huesca) in 1937. Heir to a family tradition, he is the son of the painter Emilio Grau Sala, a significant artist from the School of Paris, and of the also extraordinary painter Ángeles Santos, a prominent member of the group of surrealist painters of the years twenty. In 1954 he moved with his family to Barcelona, ​​where he attended the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts. In these early years he was greatly influenced, in addition to Van Gogh, by impressionists and post-impressionists such as Sisley, Cezanne, Renoir, Seurat, Vuillard ... whom he discovered on his first visits to Paris, the city where his father lived. In the 60s he was closely linked to Cuenca, where he lived temporarily, a city that at that time was in full artistic effervescence, where he developed a multitude of works with strong expressiveness and very material brushstrokes. In 1978 he set his definitive residence in Madrid, where he currently lives, working not only on his painting but also as an illustrator and draftsman, eventually collaborating with various magazines, such as ABC Cultural, La Razón and El Cultural de El Mundo, among others. Since 1980 he has been a member of the Societé Nationale des Beaux Arts. Painter not attached to any artistic trend, however he has contributed to renew the artistic panorama of the figurative tradition. He is considered by some to be the master of 20th century Spanish color. He has participated in numerous individual exhibitions throughout his artistic career in various galleries both nationally and internationally such as Sala Parés, Galería Biosca, Galerie Saint Placide (Paris), Grand Palais (Paris), Justin Lester Gallery (Los Angeles) , Art Expo (New York). In 1993 the Mapfre Vida Cultural Foundation organized an anthological exhibition of the artist. Since 2004 he exhibits permanently at the Beatriz Bálgoma Gallery, participating with her in various fairs of great prestige at national and international level such as Feriarte, Lisbon Art...

Masques et fanions, 1990, oil on canvas by Jean Jansem

Jean Jansem (1920-2013) Masques et fanions, 1990 Huile sur toile Signée en haut à droite 46 x 33 cm Exposition: 1993, Carnavals, Galerie Matignon, Paris Bibliographie: - Jansem, Carnavals, 1988-1992, Flora Jansem, Paris, Editions Flora J.-Editions Enrico Navarra, décrit. p. 52, reproduit p. 53. - Cette oeuvre est enregistrée dans les archives de l’Association des Amis de Jean Jansem. Figurera dans le catalogue critique de l’oeuvre de Jean Jansem actuellement en préparation par l’association des amis de Jean Jansem JEAN JANSEM L’indigence d’après-guerre et la difficulté inhérente de trouver les matériaux adéquats et/ou habituels, telles les couleurs, très onéreuses alors, ont poussé les artistes figuratifs de l’après-guerre, en corrélation avec les préoccupations de l’époque, à redéfinir les paradigmes de la représentation. Il n’est plus question de chercher un sens mais bien pour les artistes d'étudier l’objet pour son intérêt formel, sa qualité intrinsèque. Le regard de l’artiste devient analytique et dépeint alors l’objet pour ce qu’il est et non plus pour son pouvoir évocateur ou symbolique. La nature morte n’est plus une invitation sensuelle à la ripaille, la pomme ou la pêche n’évoque aucune envie de croquer, la cruche aucune ivresse, la volaille...

Shop Abstract, Landscape, Figurative and Still-Life Paintings

Painting is an art form that has spanned innumerable cultures, with artists using the medium to tell stories, explore and communicate ideas and express themselves. To bring abstract, landscape and still-life paintings into your home is to celebrate and share in the long tradition of this discipline.

When we look at paintings, particularly those that originated in the past, we learn about history, other cultures and countries of the world. Like every other work of art, paintings — whether they are contemporary creations or works that were made during the 19th century — can often help us clearly see and understand the world around us in a meaningful and interesting way.

Cave walls were the canvases for what were arguably the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict natural scenery through art. Portrait paintings and drawings, which, along with sculpture, were how someone’s appearance was recorded prior to the advent of photography, are at least as old as Ancient Egypt. In the Netherlands, landscapes were a major theme for painters as early as the 1500s. Later, artists in Greece, Rome and elsewhere created vast wall paintings to decorate stately homes, churches and tombs. Today, creating a wall of art is a wonderful way to enhance your space, showcase beautiful pieces and tie an interior design together.

No matter your preference, whether you favor Post-Impressionist paintings, animal paintings, Surrealism, Pop art or another movement or specific period, arranging art on a blank wall allows you to evoke emotions in a room while also showing off your tastes and interests. A symmetrical wall arrangement may comprise a grid of four to six pieces or, for an odd number of works, a horizontal row. Asymmetrical arrangements, which may be small clusters of art or large, salon-style gallery walls, have a more collected and eclectic feel. Download the 1stDibs app, which includes a handy “View on Wall” feature that allows you to see how a particular artwork will look on a particular wall, and read about how to arrange wall art. And if you’re searching for the perfect palette for your interior design project, what better place to turn than to the art world’s masters of color?

On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive collection of paintings and other fine art for your home or office. Browse abstract paintings, portrait paintings, paintings by popular artists and more today.
