About the Item
Gentlemen Agreement - Contemporary Pop Art Painting
Ralf Schmidt: "One of the ideas behind the creation of this image was corrupt arms deals around the world: The background scene is inspired by the situation in Syria at the time (and currently), with two business partners in the foreground smiling contentedly as they conclude their deal. I had seen some images from there and was horrified by the situation. Worldwide, approximately $9.5 billion is generated through arms exports. At an exhibition, a visitor saw the image as two actors who, recognizing the senselessness of mutual destruction, are deciding on a new beginning together. Like most of my images, this one has a symbolic character; it can be applied to processes in the business world."
In his work, Ralf Schmidt combines elements of illustration, graphic design, and painting to create a distinctive, stylized realism with Pop Art influences. Clear contours, striking colors, and isolated figures or objects characterize his style. Humorous, everyday scenes like this one, take on a deeper, often socially commentary meaning through composition and context.
Since the 1990s, Schmidt has been developing his series "Freie Malereien" (Free Paintings) and "Freie Malereien II" (Free Paintings II), in which he depicts human emotions and behavior in a deliberately reduced yet ambiguous style.

Truth & Beauty - SOLD - Commission an option
By Greg Miller
Located in New York, NY
Pepsi Cola Cap Homage with female theme.
About the Artist:
Drawing from the diverse cultural and geographic makeup of his Californian roots, Greg Miller explores his relationship with the space he inhabits to communicate a particular urban experience. Working with both paint and collage, he constructs and deconstructs exploring the contradiction, ambiguity, and truth between urban streetscape and history.
Miller’s art is clever and cool. His abstracted backgrounds of drips, patterns, and phrases and the peeling back of layers provide a study in the impermanence of the things that surround us. His large-scale paintings and installations aim to make the most fleeting parts of American culture tangible. They grab us nostalgically, rousing us to enjoy the momentary beauty found in the impermanent parts of our lives. There is a fragile heroicness conveyed within the temporary nature of it all, especially within his construction of paper, wood, and natural materials, that gives Miller’s work liveliness and depth.
Greg Miller’s work is featured in numerous museum and private collections that have traveled internationally including those organized by the Charles Saatchi Collection and the Frederick R. Weisman...
