About the Item

Mixed media abstract expressionist painting using brush work, montoype, gouache, acrylic paints to blend an expressive work from her "Plains Series" based on her visions of the western frontier. Image 20"H x 20"L. Framed and matted. Starlie Sokol-Hohne was born in 1958 in Santa Monica, California and completed her studies at UCLA in 1980. Combining images of antiquity with contemporary mixed media printmaking techniques, Starlie creates visually interesting images, combining past and present elements. Starlie enjoys equestrian riding in the woods and canyons near her home. This inspires her in the way that nature is extremely abstract as well as realistic. Using this quiet time helps Starlie to refresh her creative powers for even greater expression of self fulfillment. Exhibiting nationally since the early eighties, Starlie’s work is held in private, public and corporate collections. As with many contemporary artists, photography and technology play a part in the achievement of the artists’ expression. Sokol images are conceived and assembled with parts of images from a variety of sources. The final product is the result of the unique combination and juxtaposition of photographic images. First, Sokol assembles the conceived image by collaging the basic images together from the various pieces; whether a chair, or a tree or a particular sky. The different sizes, perspectives and light sources of each “piece” yield the realized concept of her imaginary visions. From time to time she may rework an image with different details to change the mood or feeling. Physical collage and hand painting blend these elements into a more cohesive and realistic perspective. The result is the reality of her idealized image. It is that unique result which is distinctively a Sokol. “My life is focused and centered on my art. I immerse myself in the process of creating and painting things based on my perception of reality.” As a child growing up in 1960s Southern California, the coastline formed Starlie Sokol-Hohne’s artistic memory. In high school she focused on her art classes and feels fortunate to have had teachers and family who valued her gift of creativity, encouraging her to express her emotions through art. “Nature has, and always will be, my greatest inspiration; my strongest and most faithful teacher.” In it, she finds shapes, colors, and textures that she revisits in her creations. She is interested in the atmospheric effects of the vast expanses of color, filling the canvas, and by suggestion, beyond it to infinity.
