About the Item

Colorful and dynamic abstract composition by Ross H. Pollette, who also paints under the pseudonyms 'Max West' (American, b. 1948). Pollette has used oil, ink, and collage in this piece. Signed twice by the artist in opposite corners (lower right and upper left), inverted from each other. Unframed. Image size: 25"H x 25"W. Ross H. Pollette (American, b. 1948) is a designer and author from San Francisco, California. Pollette writes under the pseudonyms 'Max West' and 'Ross X.' He frequently designs the covers for his books. From his bio, he describes himself as: "Designer/writer/composer/former CEO of Max West Enterprises-- lives and works in San Francisco CA. [...] He likes raising carnivorous plants, beer and cast metal sculptures. West has been in wars--doesn't approve of them; is against 'Time' and 'consensus reality', is for creativity and human dignity. Quote: 'Choosing 'Art' as a life course isn't as much fun as fighting a giant squid with a harpoon or going to an alternate reality and killing your parents but by the time I got here all the good jobs were taken...' Love, Max West and Ross X (split personalities of R.H. Pollette)"

  • 'I'll Be Back, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting
    By XVALA
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    'I'll Be Back,' by XVALA is a mixed media painting and colorful screen print with iridescent oil stick painting featuring the theme of the 'New World Order.' It was produced in 2015/16. The phrase 'I'll Be Back' is printed on the top and bottom margins of the work with the words 'New World Order' on the top margin. Three heads are stacked in the center of the canvas with the 'all seeing eye' on the top of the head. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His 'Fear Google' campaign exposed the decay of privacy and 'No Delete' used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the New World Order collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm...
