About the Item
Boats Astore," an exquisite masterpiece crafted by the talented artist Koko Hovagumian, invites viewers into a serene maritime scene where creativity and subtlety converge. The title itself beckons curiosity, suggesting a tranquil harbor where boats find a harmonious respite.
In this painting, Hovagumian's skillful brushstrokes transcend the conventional, opting for a departure from bold and brash strokes commonly associated with maritime art. Instead, the artist delicately captures the essence of calmness and repose through a nuanced application of soft, abstract elements.
The focal point of the composition lies in the graceful repose of three boats, their stillness creating a visual symphony that resonates throughout the canvas. Unlike the tumultuous waves often depicted in maritime scenes, here, the boats rest peacefully, evoking a sense of tranquility and contemplation.
Hovagumian's unique approach to abstraction unveils a world where form and color blend seamlessly, inviting viewers to interpret the scene through their own emotional lens. The soft, muted tones employed by the artist contribute to the creation of an ethereal atmosphere, where reality and imagination intertwine.
Each stroke seems intentional, as if Koko Hovagumian has harnessed the very essence of calm waters and translated it onto the canvas. The abstraction serves as a bridge between the tangible and the intangible, allowing the viewer to engage in a personal journey of interpretation.
"Boats Astore" stands as a testament to Hovagumian's mastery, capturing a moment frozen in time where the boats exist in a symbiotic relationship with their surroundings. This composition not only showcases the artist's technical prowess but also invites contemplation, encouraging the audience to appreciate the beauty found in the subtle interplay of form, color, and emotion.

- Australian Abstract Expressionist Gouache Painting Charcoal on Shaped PaperBy David RankinLocated in Surfside, FLDavid Rankin American (b. 1946) Untitled (Black on gray) (1990) Gouache and charcoal on paper signed lower left 19 x 15 inches Rankin is a New York-based, British-born Australian post-war and contemporary artist known for his expressionistic abstract paintings. His work can be categorized by his use of quick, loose brushstrokes, reminiscent of scribbles on a page. Rankin works predominantly in oil painting and acrylic on canvas, but also works with paper, prints, sculptures and ceramics. Rankin has held over 100 one-person exhibitions in cities across the world, including New York, London, Paris, Beijing, Mexico, Vienna, Berlin and Cologne, as well as all over Australia. Represented in many of the world’s leading public and private collections and museums, David Rankin’s work is featured in Australia’s leading institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Victoria and Queensland Art Gallery. David Rankin was born in Plymouth, Devon, England in 1946 then emigrated to Australia with his family in 1948. He spent his childhood in the 1950s in the semi-rural Port Hacking region South of Sydney and his teenage years in country New South Wales, from Hay, Wagga Wagga and Albury in the South to Bourke and Brewarrina in the North. Rankin is self-taught, developing his techniques and ideas in the outback towns of his youth. He was inspired by the greats from Leonardo da Vinci to Paul Klee as well as being influenced by the history of Buddhism and Asian art. In his travels before he arrived in Sydney in 1967 he developed a concept of what he wanted to achieve as an Australian artist. His dream was to express the anima, the life spirit or the essence of God in all nature. As an Australian artist he believed could bring the elements of Western Art together with an understanding and love for the cultures of Asia and the Australian Aborigine. He also felt that as Australia was closer to Asia than Europe it made sense to think about the art of Indian, Chinese and Japanese artists, and that one could not be an authentic articulate Australian artist without a love and respect for the artistic and spiritual expressions of the various Aboriginal artists, peoples and cultures. His work combined elements of Abstract Expressionist painting with Jewish and Aboriginal influences. In 1979 his first wife, Jennifer Mary Roberts (née Haynes) died. Rankin subsequently met his current wife Lily Brett, whose own life was etched by tragedy with her parents being survivors of the Holocaust. She too migrated to Australia as a child after the Second World War in 1948. The artist recounts that his empathy for Lily and the pity for his first wife's death fused into what he calls "the dark blessing of my life." The darkness was transformed into images. The author Dore Ashton writes that the events of 1979 and the fire which ravished his studio in 1997 and burnt his art works and many personal possessions, had a profound impact on his work. Having personal life experiences as his subject matter, Rankin's paintings contemplate these things. For example, his Jerusalem series followed a trip to Jerusalem in 1988, which then led to his Golgotha works. His travels to the Australian, American and Mexican deserts became the subject matter for many of his canvases, such as Ridge – Mungo, Golden Prophecy – San Antonio, Grey Sonora Landscape and then led to his Witness Series. From the fire in his studio he then painted Buddha and Flames. He illustrated two books by Lily Brett on the holocaust and explored the theme further in his huge work The Drowned and The Saved from a book by Primo Levi of the same name. Through Brett he encountered Jewish mythology and painted judaica imagery, Black Menorah...Category
