About the Item
Signed and dated verso: "Jorge R. Pombo / 20-4/1". Inscribed verso: "210 x 330 cms / oil on linen". Titled verso: "Variation on Singer Sargent's 'The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit' (2)".
John Singer Sargent’s "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" is half portrait, half interior scene, depicting the four young daughters of Edward Darley Boit and Mary Louisa Cushing Boit. Upon its debut in 1882, critics praised the artist’s technical abilities but were perplexed by the unconventional approach to portraiture. The painting’s composition positions the figures on the threshold of a dark central void, obscuring the features of the two eldest girls. The ambiguous nature of the painting, both beautiful and mysterious, has continued to delight and confound audiences ever since.
Sargent’s painting is the inspiration for Spanish artist Jorge R. Pombo’s latest series of paintings. Pombo’s striking Variations reinterpret the historical painting, obscuring figure and form through fluid abstraction. Pombo describes his process as one of both affirmation and erasure. Appropriating images from master artists like Tintoretto, Michelangelo, and, of course, Sargent, Pombo renders his chosen image on canvas and then pours solvent over the oils. This method produces a fluid, abstracted version of the original masterpiece.

- "BLUE (LIBERTY)" Oil Painting 78" x 118" inch by Charles MalinskyBy Charles MalinskyLocated in Culver City, CA"BLUE (LIBERTY)" Oil Painting 78" x 118" inch by Charles Malinsky Artwork ships rolled due to its size. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Charles Malinsky is an internationally acclaimed Canadian painter. His artwork is represented in many distinguished museums throughout the world and has been featured in countless publications. His extraordinary achievements throughout his career have made him one of the most dynamic figurative painters working in the 21st century. Malinsky was born in 1956 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, and grew up in the isolation of the vast Canadian prairies. He earned his diploma from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 1978. He then spent his early years in Calgary as a graphic designer in educational Television, winning several international awards from the small, obscure station. Malinsky states, "The shear good fortune to be taken under the wing of a small group of the most talented and creative individuals I’ve encountered in my entire life, including Greg and Gary Crossley, Brian Huffman, John Blackie, and Peter Ivens was a revelatory experience for me." In 1984, he took a posting at ACAD where he taught drawing. It was at this point that Malinsky changed streams and devoted himself to pure art. It took seven years of dedicated studio work for him to find his voice as an artist. His first public exhibition at the Fran Willis Gallery in Victoria, British Colombia created a media sensation normally reserved for rock stars and garnered wide public attention. Malinsky’s richly complex, layered visual narratives are emotionally clear and accessible. His suburban prairie upbringing provided him with a backdrop of physical and social isolation, obsessed with image over content. His early work thus became focused on the rift between what was experienced and what could not be said. Malinsky’s first exhibitions in the early ’90s, during a time when figurative painting was not considered a legitimate, cutting-edge genre for art, flew in the face of the self-created, intellectual elitism of the deconstructionist movement of the time by creating complex, rich, layered narratives accessible through his figurative approach. He first received critical attention for depicting the dark, disturbing undercurrents of mainstream life, eloquently communicated to a popular reception through his figurative approach. In 1998, Malinsky left the comfortable confines of his Calgary studio and his posting at ACAD to take on the International art world. He established a base in Madrid, Spain, and began showing successfully throughout Europe as well as the United States. Malinsky’s paintings and drawings have been the subject of numerous solo and major group exhibitions and his work is represented in many museums, as well as prestigious private and corporate collections, including Fundació de les Arts i els Artistes, Barcelona, Spain(5 works), Collection of the Victoria College of art, Victoria British Colombia, Canada, Nickel Arts Museum, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Michael Williams Collection, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Colombia, Canada(18 works), Permanent collection of the Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria, British Colombia, Canada, Seymour Art Gallery, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. His work can also be found in the private collections of notable celebrities such as Dr. Dre, Phil Everly...Category
