About the Item
Artist Comments
"This painting is the epitome of the concept 'Ars Gratia Artis,'" says artist Joey Korom. "This compelling abstract expressionist work expresses the philosophy that the intrinsic value of art, and the only 'true' art, is divorced from any didactic, moral, politic or utilitarian function. Composition A speaks both loudly and with conviction, and it responds with a secret tone, one of pastel colors and simple shapes."
About the Artist
Joey Korom is an abstract expressionist painter who has been a practicing artist for 50 years. He experiments with media, colors, and textures to produce artwork that is “purely optical;†that is, artwork meant to engage the viewer, visually and emotionally, without employing any associations outside of the work itself. Joey is passionate about this expressive type of abstraction, an artistic mode that escapes the rules of perspective and realism. His educational and professional background is in architecture, which he considers to be “the father of all arts.†The use of line, shape, and proportion in Joey’s work is visibly influenced by his experience as an architect, but he seeks to avoid the rigidity involved in architectural draftsmanship. He focuses instead on underlying structure, seductive color, and loose brushwork. The artist sees his style as a personal liberation from the demands of architectural drawing, and yet, he’s never lost the disciplines he was taught.

- The Promise II, Abstract PaintingBy Candice EisenfeldLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Candice Eisenfeld presents a painting within a painting emanating warmth and light from the middle. "These paintings are meant to explore levels of meaning as they connect our personal experiences to a world severely distanced from ourselves," states Candice. Her interest lies in understanding what is at the core of human nature—desire, curiosity, love, and hope. "It is narrating a personal archeology of the id while simultaneously relating to other people what is timelessly universal."About the Artist
As an American exploring issues of identity, artist Candice Eisenfeld paints through the lens of the first American art movement, the Hudson River School. Rather than depicting a specific locale, Candice’s artwork evokes a sense of place. These "inner landscapes" are invented, and often reference photographs taken during travels in southern Appalachia and the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains. Whether real or imagined, her paintings are influenced by the Dutch Masters, Tonalists, and Chinese painting. Produced on a single wooden panel, the ethereal landscapes are often joined with segments of aqueous color fields which act as commentary for the landscapes, like the chorus in a Greek play. The crisp, hard edges separating the landscapes from the color fields command a sense of order in an otherwise fluid and painterly surface. With two or three sections of the panel competing for attention, the painting creates multiple focal points. Candice's art has been displayed in embassies in Namibia and Belarus, held in the collections of Norwest Bank and Northwest Airlines...Category21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Abstract Paintings

- Artist's Sketchbook, Abstract PaintingBy Candice EisenfeldLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"Part of the meditation process is to allow your mind to clear, follow a journey, and allow thoughts to pass through," says artist Candice Eisenfeld. "The vertical, thin section in the middle is an abstracted version of the landscape, it is varnished while the other parts have no gloss. This process was done to illustrate how our perceptions of the world and experiences can change, and how we can recognize these lenses to achieve clarity. The left side depicts peaceful, floating, abstracted thoughts."About the Artist
