About the Item
Artist Comments
When asked about his inspiration for this radiant painting, artist Mark Risius said, "Walking at night, while the world is asleep and the pressures of the world have faded with the day. It's just you, the sound of crickets with the vastness of the universe above, thoughts and feet wandering amongst the stars." Part of Mark's Woven collection, made from several larger paintings cut into strips and woven over a hand-built wood frame. The piece features custom hanging hardware that allows it to be rotated to any position with ease. As a musician as well as a painter, Mark likes to suggest a song pairing for each piece: "Midnight Reflection is best paired with the sound of silence and the occasional chorus of crickets."
About the Artist
Artist Mark Risius begins by painting one or multiple abstract pieces, and then he cuts the artwork into strips. To form the final geometric composition, he weaves the canvas pieces together. Mark showed an interest in the arts from a young age and played drums in a garage band in high school. During his senior year, he picked up his first paintbrush, creating an image of a red rose for his girlfriend at the time. Mark continued with music into his early twenties before starting a series of oil paintings on sandstone, which blossomed into an art career. Today, Mark still plays a lot of music - mainly acoustic guitar - and also writes poetry and performs improv comedy. "Creativity has been a beacon of hope for me that helped get me through my earlier years of depression," he confides. To spur his creativity, Mark's home includes two art studios, a music studio and a photography studio. When he's not working, he enjoys hiking and cycling around his home in Boulder, Colorado.

- Regatta, Abstract Oil PaintingBy Sharon SiebenLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Sharon Sieben paints an abstract display of expressive cobalt blue strokes. A majestic and imaginative representation of sailing through the ocean. "I observed this when I could feel the rush of wind in sails and hear the sea splash against the hull," says Sharon. Accents of green create a stimulating complement to the flurry of dramatic brushwork.About the Artist
