About the Item

Artist: Hunter Potter Title: When Hell Freezes Over Medium: Oil on Drop Cloth Size: 60 x 70 Inches Year: 2022 Notes: Featured at his Solo show at Primary, Miami FL 2022 Dating back to the 16th century, crime pamphlets, ballads, and trial accounts have captivated the interest of literate individuals from the artisan class. These unsettling narratives were often embraced as a means to quench common curiosity and gain a deeper understanding of the malevolence lurking in society. What dwells in the shadows, in that realm where temptation and virtue collide? Through the prism of True Crime, Hunter Potter delves into the internal conflicts of individuals, meditates on goodwill, and hones his ability to distinguish the wicked from the virtuous. As Potter aptly puts it, "Jesus walked on water, and the devil built a boat. Only one was a miracle, but both of them could float." He expounds, "When these two enigmatic forces materialize on the same tranquil lake, inviting you for a swim, it becomes imperative to differentiate between them." For Potter, the connection with True Crime literature transcends mere words. It represents a profound immersion into American culture and his familial heritage. These narratives compel individuals to seek illumination in the darkest of times, recognizing that light and darkness are inextricably intertwined. He ponders, "I wonder, how does one overcome the devil? To deny its existence is an exercise in futility. The realm of adversity is pervasive, and the journey uphill is fraught with challenges. But one persists. Godspeed!" - Source: Primary

Diary Notes
Located in Hollywood, FL
Artist: Trude Viken Title: Diary Notes Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: 11.75 x 9 Year: 2022 Notes: Hand Signed and Dated on Verso. Custom Framed 13 x 11 Inches. Residing and creating in Oslo, Norway, Trude Viken defies artistic constraints as a 'colorist' of boundless imagination. Her canvases overflow with a mesmerizing fusion of flesh-toned hues, ashy grays, and enigmatic greens, juxtaposed with vibrant reds, oranges, yellows, and luminous pinks. The lingering aroma of oil paint fills the air, while her palette, comprising both earthly and otherworldly shades, simultaneously evokes feelings of sensuality and unease. Viken's art beckons an engaged audience to appreciate its tactile presence—a landscape crafted from the very essence of oil paint itself. In this regard, her creations resemble ever-changing weather patterns, as capricious as human moods. A visage morphs into a verdant, follicled mass, with a bubblegum-pink foundation, while white brushstrokes mimic the contours of clouds or wings. Her portraits, born from the ordinary, evolve into reveries that articulate our innermost experiences and our most tangible emotions, captivating us with their profound psychological depth. With Viken's deft touch, layers of oil paint transmute into swirling eyes, noses, mouths, ecstatic grins, or sly smirks, culminating at her discretion. Rows of contorted, molded faces...
