About the Item

SALE ONE WEEK ONLY "Dahlia" by Andrey Skripka, a Russian, is an interesting psychological portrait of a young woman who's posture appears withdrawn and tightly composed, but who is surrounded by intensely brilliant colors suggesting a interior mental and emotional life waiting to burst out. It has been pointed out by critiques of Skripka's artwork that the artist gives us exactly the more textured, brave perspective we need: that universal forces, beings, gyrations, shapes and emotional ignitions can be every bit as intense as the ones we can imagine. Skripka explains his work: "I have been engaged in fine arts since childhood. For me, to make images - how to breathe, I can not imagine my life without it. After graduating from art school and art college he worked in various spheres related to art: a decorator in the theater, an industrial and graphic designer, a designer of clothes. Was fond of calligraphy. But the main activity for me has always been and is a painting."

"Muse of Mystery", Encaustic, Oil, and Paper on Wood
Located in Detroit, MI
Celebrating our common colors as well as our diversity is Linden Godlove’s latest series of encaustics, “The Muses.” The paintings are modeled after icons, with a direct gaze that hearkens a response to their spirit, to find company in their character. This particular piece is the "Muse of Mystery" and is part of a set of nine that are sold separately from one another. Encaustic painting is an ancient art form (some early icons are encaustic), where hot wax is mixed with pigment and resin, and painted while liquid. Throughout the process, everything is repeatedly fused with fire and sometimes things melt in an unintended direction. Linden’s process involves repeatedly carving parts out and filling them back in, so the works are splayed out in a loose application of hot liquid, then cut back, then washed over with brushes of hot wax again. It’s a combination of chaos and control. The series draws inspiration from women all over the globe, as originally photographed by Mihaela Noroc for her book The Atlas of Beauty. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will go towards her project. While internationally influenced, the pieces were painted, scraped, and carved at the artist’s hundred year old Detroit...
