About the Item

"Iron Women" Oil painting 31" x 20" inch by Alina Shimova 2021 Alina Shimova is a young and ambitious artist from Moscow, Russia. Her creative journey began at an early age. Alina entered an art school at the age of 12, where she studied classical art for five years. That time she was drawn to Russian classics, especially Aivazovsky and his magnificent seascapes. She was fortunate to study under the supervision of the famous modern artist - M. A. Satarov, whose works displayed in the Kremlin. With her classical paintings, Alina participated in many group exhibitions, and now many of her works are in private collections of Russian and European art collectors. In 2018, Alina traveled to the United States. This journey fundamentally changed the young artist's perception of modern art and determined her further artistic direction. American classics have become a compass on the way to a new, unique artistic style. She was inspired by its spirit of freedom and willingness to break the rules, create new horizons, and express their imagination. One of the major artistic trends of modern American art, gender equality, was utterly astonishing to Alina. The concept of a powerful woman is deeply rooted in popular American culture: novels, comics, movies, and TV series. They tell us that there is no distinction between male and female characters, everyone can save the world. This was the defining element of Alina's new creative style. Since then, her creative journey has centered on the cult heroines influenced by the world of wonder and DC films: you can see them brilliantly depicted in Alina's drawings, in flowing color, but not in the typical costumes of the saviors of humanity. Therefore, Alina wants to communicate her own emotions that there is a living human under any superhero costume, a woman who can be powerful on the outside and weak on the inside, have courage, but also fears, be a creator and destroyer.

  • Oil on Canvas Japanese Pop Artist Tadashi Asoma Reclining Nude
    By Tadashi Asoma
    Located in Wilmette, IL
    Tadashi Asoma was a Japanese-American painter. Born in Japan in 1923, his career began when, in 1958, the Japanese government awarded him a scholarship to study painting in Paris. After Paris, Asoma visited the United States and became fascinated with the current American style of painting. He eventually moved to New York, near the East Village, where he studied and worked for three years. Asoma did return to Japan for a period of time, however, he moved to New York permanently in 1961 and stayed in the region until his passing in 2017. This early work by Asoma displays the American influence that so enamored him when he first visited the United States. Rendered in flat and discrete sections of bold color, the impressive composition bears an interesting relation to the work of Pop artist Tom Wesselmann. Much like Wesselmann’s work, Asoma builds his image with applications of bold and flat color, often isolating and highlighting sections of the composition, bringing the viewer’s eye to these discrete sections. In this work, a green bed...
