2008
About the Item
20 x 20 in.
Born in San Francisco and raised in Marin County, Bruce Lauritzen’s art reflects his Northern California roots. He attended the California College of the Arts (CCAC) on scholarship and went on to take his MFA from the San Fran-cisco Art Institute. Later he taught at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.Though frontal and graphic, his boat paintings are infused with nautical atmosphere. Simple, iconic, yet highly struc-tured compositions hint of Lauritzen’s architectural experience. As a consummate draftsman, his conversation with line sets the foundation for his work, fusing rectilinear and lyrical rhythms…a visual poetry as an ode to boating where, quite literally, form follows function.
Lauritzen’s paintings can be found in many private and public collections worldwide, including locally, the San Fran-cisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Achenbach Foundation at the California Palace Legion of Honor. He says of his work, “My greatest adventures are in my art, where, in every painting lies a new discovery.”

- Heart's ArmsBy Robert MarsLocated in Napa, CARobert Mars’ graphic compositions and rich colors provide an ideal medium in which to explore his fascination with the Golden Age of American popular culture and the icons of the 1950’s and 60’s. Drawing inspiration from the near-mythical fame that surrounded celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn before the instant and all-encompassing presence of the internet, Mars’ daring approach creates paintings with a nostalgic yet innovative vintage quality. Mars begins by defining borders and background planes of color with sheets of brown paper and then proceeds to layer paint and vintage paper ephemera...Category

- Sake of the SongBy Robert MarsLocated in Napa, CARobert Mars’ graphic compositions and rich colors provide an ideal medium in which to explore his fascination with the Golden Age of American popular culture and the icons of the 1950’s and 60’s. Drawing inspiration from the near-mythical fame that surrounded celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn before the instant and all-encompassing presence of the internet, Mars’ daring approach creates paintings with a nostalgic yet innovative vintage quality. Mars begins by defining borders and background planes of color with sheets of brown paper and then proceeds to layer paint and vintage paper ephemera. He selectively sands segments of the layers, allowing specific portions of the underpainting to shine through, creating the sensation that the viewer is getting glimpses through a window into the Golden Age of America. By incorporating actual pieces of print from the eras he so adores and sealing it all under shining, impenetrable resin, Mars’s artworks transform into physical remembrances of a period in America’s past so loved and idolized, yet will forever remain trapped in history. A graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York, his artwork was selected for the Absolut Vodka Blank campaign alongside Damien Hirst, and his largest sized piece to date was acquired by Philip Morris/Altria for their corporate headquarters in Virginia. In 2015 Mars was chosen for the cover of Neiman Marcus’ May Book, while CocaCola purchased several existing works and ordered commissions for a world tour celebrating the 100-year anniversary of their trademark bottle shape, in which his artwork was spotlighted. Mars is a featured artist for a custom high end wallpaper and tile series...Category
