About the Item

Molesky’s latest body of work approaches art history with wit and irony. Drawing from classical themes and the heroic narrative, he subverts these traditions by casting the banana as a central figure—familiar, comical, and unexpectedly potent. In these paintings and drawings, symbolism is both playful and pointed. 'Venus' Oil on linen, painted in 2025 Beautifully presented in a professional white-painted wood floater frame measuring 31 x 25 inches, this piece is ready to enhance any space with its presence and craftsmanship.

Horse No 1, 2002 / oil on canvas
By John Goodman
Located in Burlingame, CA
Running horse in a forceful, bold, abstract expressionistic style in pale hues of pink, blue, and brown and cream on Belgin linen. Goodman's oil paintings are a dichotomy of understated minimalism with reductive use of color that conveys a subtle, but evident smoldering energy. The artist uses heavy paint that he sculpts and draws into, as he forms a rich tactile field of painterly surfaces.
