Arbe Ara Berberyan
Intermission Oil Painting

1985

About the Item

Intermission, woman and guitar 48"x36" framed 66"x54" Arbe Berberyan Russian/Armenian Artist born 1958. The son of a distinguished artist, and Professor of Art & Design, Ara Berberyan (Arbe) earned the praise for his artistic talents as a youth, and by the age of 12 Arbe had his first Exhibition. His paintings were sent by the U.S.S.R. on an International Tour, called "The World by Childrens' Eyes." This exhibition visited France, Italy, Canada, and the United States. When Arbe was older he was invited to matriculate into the University of Art & Design in Yerevan, Armenia. Although it was complicated to find books from the west, Arbe managed to attain and study those of the artists he appreciated most: Dali, Picasso, Titian, Rembrandt, and Klimt. As a scholar of art & design books on Klimt particularly motivated him. He earned his Masters Degree in 1981 and quickly began his career as a fine artist by accommodating government commissions for murals at the Yerevan Airport, theaters, hotels, and other government projects. Arbe’s subjects became the beauty surrounding him instruments (mainly violins and guitars), women, and classical and modern fusions regarding romantic dramas, love, and music. He paints in oil with a metallic texture, and occasionally gold leaf. His paintings are filled with earth tones, enticing patterns, and designs. In 1984, Arbe joined his sister in Los Angeles, immigrating to the United States. Here he met and married his wife Nazik, also from Armenia, and they had two children.

  • Conversation Large Heavy Texture Oil On Canvas
    By Elisabeth Sabala
    Located in Delray Beach, FL
    Conversation Thick oil impasto on canvas, framed. Elisabeth Sabala Abelló (Barcelona, 1956). She studied industrial design at the School of Arts and Crafts in Barcelona and has a degree in Fine Arts, a specialty in painting, from the Central University of the same city. Sabala is a convinced figurative who has given all the prominence of her work to the representation of the human being in its most trivial aspects. At a time when the artistic landscape extols abstract and conceptual art focused on the great universal themes, Sabala continues to focus on the small defects that bring us closer to the collective and the human. The artistic progression of Sabala takes place, at first, from a bleak period to another vitalist and, later, from the representation of isolated characters (In the super, Reading the stories of the paintings) to the recreation of great concentrations of its peculiar individuals characterized in an endless number of situations (The Great Dance, The Girls of the Choir). Sabala's work is vital and touching, as well as scathing and satirical: it confronts its characters in the most varied situations, capturing, at the same time, the viewer's attention with an unusual juxtaposition of colors that do not seek chromatic harmony, but expression and movement through matter. In 1980 she won the first prize of a painting of the City of Castelldefels, and the following year she debuted individually in the Caixa Catalunya room, in Barcelona. In 1984, she was selected for the XXIII Joan Miró Drawing Prize, taking part in a traveling exhibition in Japan. Sabala won the first prize in the International Painting Competition of Pollença (Mallorca) in 1985, and the following year she took part in a collective held at the Martano Gallery in Turin. That same year of 1986 she obtained the Scholarship of Plastic Arts of the Generalitat de Catalunya. She continues to hold personal shows in Barcelona, ​​Mallorca, Madrid, and Italy, and in 1989 she debuted in New York with an individual exhibition held at the Scott Alan Gallery. Since then she will reiterate her presence both in that city and in Paris, Berlin, Monaco, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Hong Kong, etc. Her works have been present at Interactive, ARCO, Art Forum, Art Jonction and New Art, as well as in various Spanish museums. • Studies: Fine Arts, University of Barcelona • Industrial Design, School of Arts and Crafts, Barcelona Main exhibitions Spain: • Barcelona: ◦ Arcs & Cracks​, 1990, 1992, Anna Benach 1993, Helena Ramos 1993 ◦ Maria Jose Castellvi 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001 “a wedding is a wedding” + Performance “Ella” ◦ 2004, 2006 “Fashion satisfaction” + Performance ◦ 2008 “Women's weapons” • Girona: ◦ Helena Ramos 1990, 1991, 1993, 1995 ◦ Cyprus Art...

  • 'Large Post Impressionist Figural Oil Triptych', Bennington, Richmond Art Center
    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    Painted by Mine Grassetti (American-Dutch, 1928-2021) circa 1995. Inscribed, verso, with certification of authenticity dated October 6th, 2021, by the artist's son, Richard Grassetti. Mine Grassetti first attended Vermont's Bennington College, the first college to include visual and performing arts as an equal partner in the liberal arts curriculum. In 1948, she graduated with a degree in art and architecture and subsequently studied at the Richmond Art Center. It was during this extended period, the 1950's through the mid 1960's, that the Center was staffed with such California luminaries as David Park, Richard Diebenkorn and Elmer Bischoff and Grassetti had the good fortune to be exposed to the ferment of artistic ideas and theories of modernism that were generated there. We are pleased to offer this vibrant figural triptych...

  • ' Identikit ' oil on canvas
    By Katherine Russell
    Located in London, GB
    ' Identikit ' 2014 oil on canvas 40 x 30 cm signed on reverse by artist. Unique work. About the artist : Katherine Russell is a London based Painter. Her current body of work seeks to deconstruct our daily encounter with media images. From war zones to deserts, from solitary figures to candle-lit night markets, her choice of source material is indiscriminate of specific content, yet resonant with the unfamiliar and unsettling nature of our media-driven age.
