About the Item

This small oil painting featuring hues of pink, yellow, navy and white. Athens, Georgia-based artist Carol John received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, in New York in 1986. For four decades she’s had a rigorous studio practice, creating brilliantly colored paintings that shift and circle back on themselves over time. Working with oil paint on canvas and paper her work references text, pop graphics, interlocking shapes and symbols. She paints polka dots, ice cream cones, combs, cigarette butts, lips and eyeballs. These banal objects star in her paintings as she is drawn to celebrate the everyday. Erratic patterning and brilliant colors are layered in these paintings in order to surprise a viewer’s sensibility and work to hypnotize and to represent familiar objects in unexpected ways. Her work has been included in the Atlanta Biennial at the Atlanta Contemporary in 2007 and 2019. Her work has been shown in galleries and institutions nationally and has pieces in the permanent collection of the High Museum of Art, in Atlanta. Publications that have written about her work include New York Magazine, Burnaway, ArtsAtl, Flagpole, The Bitter Southerner, and others.

Her prosaic subjects have included big box store parking lots; pedestrian crosswalks at urban intersections; webcam traffic footage of midwestern freeways; and the landscape as viewed through municipal security cameras...

Fresh
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
“Fresh” is 60”x48” The impasto surface stages multiple shades of green enveloping the central figure. Frank Arnold’s paintings exhibit the highest quality materials for a truly archival piece, created to last generations. Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums, and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
