Aaron Nagel
Semi nude figurative portrait painting of a woman with arrows

2010

About the Item

Striking realistic portrait painting of a semi-nude woman with arrows titled "Marks" by Aaron Nagel. Oil on canvas. Size 46 x 30 inches. Offered unframed. Aaron Nagel is inspired by the contrast between power and the fragility of the human body. Nagel's figure of a youthful woman surrounded by archery arrows embodies Catholic martyrs such as St. Sebastian, offering atheists and skeptics an alternative to traditional religious symbolism. Although the figure is partially naked and exposed, her facial expression and body language are unaffected, gazing directly at the viewer. Born in 1980 in San Francisco, California, Aaron Nagel began drawing as a child and gradually made his way to painting. Upon discovering oils in his early twenties, he became enamored with the medium and has been obsessed ever since. Although he has had no formal training, he continues to relentlessly pursue a mastery of figurative surrealism. Nagel has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland (OR), Philadelphia, Tucson, Miami, and New York and at international art fairs such as Art Miami and Scope. He was a Semi-Finalist in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition (2009) at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. figurative painting, figurative art, contemporary art, figure, female form, female portrait, portrait painting, semi-nude, archery, arrows, female gaze, contemporary painting, woman, woman's history month, best of summer

"Up" oil painting of nude figure with blue shawl in black frame with gold trim
By Angel Ramiro Sanchez
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
Painted from life, a nude, female figure sits with an blue cloth draped around her bottom. Ramiro places the figure floating in the atmosphere. The figure's back is revealed, curving sensually and naturally, hair pulled up in a bun to accentuate her form. Signed: Angel Ramiro Sanchez in lower left corner and on verso Painting Dimensions: 12.6 x 7.5 inches Framed dimensions: 16.75 x 11.5 inches Angel Ramiro Sanchez was born in 1974 in Maracaibo, Venezuela. At age six was accepted with full scholarship into the Instituto the Niños Cantores del Zulia, school for musically gifted children. At age fourteen he began five years of apprenticeship with the realist painter, Abdon J. Romero, an eminent specialist in murals for churches and public buildings. In 1993, a study grant from Mgr. Gustavo Ocando Yamarte, Founder the Niños Cantores, enabled him to travel to Florence, Italy, where he studied at the renowned Accademia di Belle Arti, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1997. At the same time, he was enrolled at The Florence Academy of Art,founded by painter Daniel Graves, where he received a diploma in Painting. Ramiro was appointed senior painting instructor at The Florence Academy of Art in 1997, and is currently Director of the Advanced Painting Program. Ramiro paints only from life, searching for accuracy beyond physical appearance to reach the psychological state of his subject. He believes the painter must draw his information from "all five senses" to tell the complete human story. Ramiros work is predominantly represented by th e Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor, New York, but also Scriba Gallery, venice, Italy, Jack Meier Gallery, Houston, Tx. Ramiros works can be found in numerous private collections in Europe, The United States and South America. Public collections include: The Fondazione Stelline, Milan, Italy.
