About the Item
This abstract figurative painting features the artist in a nude form from the back and front in vibrant reds and pinks, outlined in expressive green lines. It balances sketch-like and voluminous areas against a muted beige background, conveying intimacy and energy, while blending elements of expressionism and fauvism.
Returning to his Joshua Tree studio after Grandma’s funeral, artist Aaron Sheppard resolved to paint a portrait of them together. But he heard her voice urging, “Paint something that brings you joy, Aaron. Don’t paint a dull portrait of us together right now. You need a break. Enjoy this time. Be free!” Inspired, he stripped down, donned small women’s panties, and used a mirror for a bold self-portrait inspired by how he fantasizes presenting himself on The Strand. Meanwhile, his other resin project dried outside. The next day, “Brustelo Beach” was complete, but he found that his other piece had trapped a kangaroo rat. Researching its symbolism, Aaron discovered that it represents closure, transition, introspection, and a fresh start.

A Day at the Beach
By Jirayr Hamparzoom Zorthian
Located in West Hollywood, CA
Jirayr Zorthian(1911-2004), went through two Turkish massacres before age eight. He left Turkey at age nine with his family and spent a year in Padua, Italy, waiting for his visa to open to the United States. This period was very important in his life because his father took him to many cities in Europe and exposed him to great works of art. Zorthian arrived in the United States at the age of eleven and settled with his family in New Haven, Connecticut. He obtained his formal education there, after graduating from Yale in 1932, the Winchester Fellowship granted him a year and a half at the American Academy in Rome with travel and study throughout Europe.
His art career branched into various directions on his return to the United States. As a mural painter his reputation was established. He has forty two (42) murals throughout the United States. Zorthian worked and taught painting at some of the finest art academies on the west coast including both the Chouinard Art Institute and the Otis Art Institute.
