About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Empire Awaits by José Martinez transports the viewer to the towering heart of New York City, where the iconic Empire State Building stands as a beacon among skyscrapers. The scene is bathed in rich yellows and cool blues, the colors mingling to create a sense of both majesty and movement. The wet streets reflect the towering buildings above, while taxis and pedestrians move below, their forms blurred by the rain and glowing city lights.
Martinez’s bold brushwork captures the grand scale of the city while keeping the human element at the forefront. His technique emphasizes both the monumental structures and the fluidity of the scene, as if the city itself is alive and breathing. The mixture of bright and dark tones gives the composition a dynamic contrast, allowing the viewer to feel both the energy of the city and its inherent solitude.
"Empire Awaits" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, and online. This striking painting brings the iconic New York skyline into any space, offering a glimpse of the city's timeless allure and the ever-present anticipation of what lies ahead.
Artist biography:
Paul Jansen (1960) was born in Groningen, The Netherlands, and studied at the renowned Minerva Academy in his hometown. Initially beginning his artistic career as a photographer, the influence of photography remains evident in his paintings today, particularly in the unconventional compositions and extreme framing of his works. This is especially notable in his distinctive cow portraits, which have become a central theme in Jansen’s art.
For many years, the cow has been one of Jansen’s primary sources of inspiration. He is fascinated by the earthy, curious nature of these animals and captivated by their unique, often absurd forms and unpretentious presence. Unlike traditional livestock painters of past centuries, who often placed cattle in the background to enhance the landscape, Jansen brings the cow to the forefront. In his work, the landscape fades into insignificance or vanishes entirely, allowing the cow to take center stage. The result is an intimate and engaging portrayal where the cow’s presence dominates, often filling the frame so completely that the animal almost seems to reach out beyond it. Some of his portraits even verge on the abstract, as Jansen uses color and flattened forms to emphasize the cow’s essence.
Jansen paints the cow as an individual with its own soul and distinct personality. His use of dark tones in the animal's coat and the backgrounds contrasts strikingly with details such as the light pink of a cow’s nose, creating a powerful visual dynamic. His work masterfully balances naturalism with abstraction, employing colors and forms to express the core identity of the cow. The textured, tactile quality of his paintings further enhances this, as Jansen works with oil paint on board, building up multiple layers to achieve rich, deep tones. His cows, often depicted in a variety of black and white hues, feature the animal's expressive eyes and wet nose as the central focal points.
Paul Jansen’s work is represented in several prominent figurative galleries across the Netherlands, and his paintings are part of numerous private and corporate collections worldwide.
