Christian Vincent
The Clientele, Oil Painting, Large Scale, Framed

1995

About the Item

Bold use of chiaroscuro techniques and rich gold, green and red colors dominate this early painting, The Clientele, by California artist Christian Vincent from his series The Cake Eaters. In this picture, a plate holding a generous slice of cake hovers in front of a hefty businessman who stares back out at the viewer through the picture plane. The room in which he sits is filled with similarly dressed figures except for the woman standing just left of center with her hand on hip, back turned to the viewer and completely exposed to the waist in a black cocktail dress. Are we being invited into the scene or kept out by the man in the foreground? The strong vertical lines repeated in the painting seem to act as pathways to the inner sanctum of the painting, a sumptuous room filled with art, people, and more cake. Christian Vincent The Clientele, 1995 oil on canvas 59h x 49w in 69h x 59w x 2d in framed CHV001 Christian Vincent's dream-like paintings explore the dynamics of conformity and desire in social situations within the framework of the post-industrial world. His strong compositions feel melancholic and evoke a sense of isolation. The subjects, often youthful figures on the verge of adulthood, capture a sense of innocence confronted with the compromises of modern life. Vincent studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Vincent's work has been exhibited extensively in the United States including at the Naples Art Museum, Naples, Florida, Susquehanna Art Museum, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Frye Art Museum, Seattle, Washington, Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, New York, The Museum of Biblical Art, Dallas, Texas and Biedenham Museum, Monroe, Louisiana. His work is also included in several prominent private collections internationally.

"Arabian Cafe I” Figurative Oil Painting 47" x 47"in by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné
By Katherine Bakhoum-Tisné
Located in Culver City, CA
"Arabian Cafe I” Figurative Oil Painting 47" x 47"in by Katherine Bakhoum Tisné Katherine Bakhoum represents art that has been forgotten for a long while. She draws upon the concept and the subject of the orientalism and the enchantment of that period. Through her work we can feel the researches she has done to reveal her Egyptian origins and the magic and power of the bygone times. Katherine Bakhoum has succeeded in imprinting her own stamp to evoke a new world full of charm, nostalgia and magic that is deeply implanted in her canvas. Her power dwells in creating her own style of contemporary expressionism building upon the old orientalism. Katherine Bakhoum’s art comes up out of an Egyptian childhood and from the distance of a life spent in France. What is left unsaid is as important as what is shown. Decorative yes, as in old orientalism, when everything was texture and what wasn’t texture was veiled, a reincarnation of old spirits, dervishes, orientalist motifs and the stuff of a once powerful civilization, the better to suggest it all might just come to life again. The choice of ancient subject matters, the echo of orientalist pieces in the collages, like the echo of the appeal of ancient gestures, of foreign lands, and domestic tapestries, all this weaves up out of Katherine Bakhoum’s creations. Sometimes we only have the line of a horizon on which to hang our imagination, sometimes we only have the trace of a profile in the shadows. What we always have is a persistent belief in beauty. Where there is beauty, there is hope. Katherine Bakhoum has abandoned neither. SOLO EXHIBITIONS Claudine Legrand Gallery: Annual exhibitions from 1996 to 2016 Safar Khan...
