Cécile Bisciglia
Van.I.T II by Cécile Bisciglia - Ballpoint pen drawing on canvas, scull, dark

2013

About the Item

Van.I.T is a unique drawing by contemporary artist Cécile Bisciglia. The drawing is made with ballpoint pen, acrylic and posca on canvas, dimensions are 150 × 150 cm (59.1 × 59.1 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. In pursuit of her philosophical goals, Bisciglia continues to experiment with the Vanity genre of art. The only means by which the artist conveys this memento mori is by using the skull as a symbol. To emphasize the symbolism of death, her drawings omit faded flowers, candles, or scientific objects. Bisciglia has dedicated herself to creating large-scale drawings with a BIC ball-point pen since 2009. The originality of her work comes from the fusion of her academic drawing abilities and her proficiency with a basic tool, a biro. A ballpoint pen gives her the same graphic finesse as a pencil would, and it has the added benefit of being indelible. Depending on the pressure and/or inclination used, her skill with this instrument enables her to obtain various shades of grey. Bisciglia fights a real battle with the painter's own medium, the canvas.

'Love Garden Party (Picnic #2), ' Skip Hill, mixed media and ink on paper 2019
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
'Love Garden Party (Picnic #2)' is an original mixed-medium work of art composed of high quality acrylics paint, opaque, metallic and neon inks, hand-cut collage, sealed with satin varnish on 36"h x 24"w on cold press paper stock.

Part of Skip Hill's 'Love Garden Party' series, this work depicts three women gathered around a festive table filled with food and drink. Skip Hill was born in 1961 in Padre Island, Texas but grew up primarily in Oklahoma City. After attending Oklahoma City University to study Advertising and Marketing, he worked as a graphic designer before relocating in 1987 to Southern California. A two-week trip to Thailand in 1989 turned into a year traveling throughout Southeast Asia while writing for a business magazine based in Bangkok. In 1990 Skip Hill relocated to the Netherlands, immersing himself in the culture and learning the Dutch language. His frequent visits the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum and The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam as well as the Boijman Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, sparked Hill’s interest in creating art inspired by aesthetic concerns over the strictly commercial art he produced during his advertising career. It was during this time abroad that he traveled through Germany, Czechoslovakia and Morocco. After returning to Oklahoma in 1993, Skip Hill studied formally at The University of Oklahoma with conceptual artist Hachivi Edgar Heap of Birds, and influential abstract painter George Bogart...
