Russell Gordon
"Security Breach" by Russell Gordon, Oil Painting of Bird's Nest

2019

About the Item

Russell Gordon's "Security Breach" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a bird's nest. This piece is framed and ready to hang. Russell is a realist artist well known for his sumptuous still-life paintings. Most recently he has included portraits of North American birds to his oeuvre. Bird study is not new to the artist; in fact he first fell in love with drawing as a youth while copying the work of John James Audubon. With a desire to to learn more about his native fowl he would often take to the woods looking for birds to render directly from life. As an adult, observing birds has allowed him to return to nature. He finds it refreshing and invigorating to leave the “controlled environment” of the studio in search of subject matter. Living and working in rural upstate New York provides the ideal place to observe, to be inspired by and then to render these avian paintings.

Burning Desire - Sable Mare with Flower & Butterfly Mane & Amber-Rose Background
By Rose Freymuth-Frazier
Located in Chicago, IL
The sable colored mare bows her head to allow the viewer a better view of her intricate mane which is enhanced with red roses. Red-winged black birds flit around her, a symbol of protection, good luck and even prosperity. The amber rose background intensifies the softness of the horse's coat and the overall aesthetic. This painting is unframed, please contact the gallery for framing options. Rose Freymuth-Frazier Burning Desire oil on canvas 50h x 32w in 127h x 81.28w cm RFF048 Rose Freymuth-Frazier Employing the techniques of the past in the service of contemporary exploration, I seek to add a fresh voice to the sometimes venerable, sometimes dusty and archaic tradition of large-scale figurative painting, while subtly addressing the mythology, objectification and subjugation of women. My subjects are at first glance close to home-new mothers, friends, lovers, artists, dancers-but are then quickly placed at a distance via edgy modification, rigorous technique, minimal contexts and composition, and idiosyncratic use of color. I am also interested in social presentation, artifice, and simulation as they relate to my subjects. I hope to peel away a gossamer thin layer of reality, not just to document the real but also to reveal what might be. BIOGRAPHY Given my restless history, it is curious that I became a figurative painter in New York City. My maternal Grandparents fled Hitler's Germany in the late 1930's. After being refused entry to the United States, they were welcomed into the Dominican Republic, where they happily resided in a small orderly bungalow of their own design and made their living as studio photographer and cheese maker...
