About the Item

This hyperrealistic figurative painting on canvas measures 38.5 inches square. It is framed in a complimentary gold tone frame and is ready to hang. It is hand signed by the artist on the front right corner. The painstaking detail in Johannes Wessmark's paintings is absolutely spellbinding. The female figure is suspended in cerulean water with the sublime detailing of the bubbles around her. The color and composition create a calming mood. The artist says of his work, “In my paintings, and especially my figurative motifs, I want to convey a feeling of calm and relaxation. Water is a subject matter that have followed me for many years. As a child we had a summer-house by the Swedish west coast where we spent many holidays. Positive experiences with water that came to influence me as an artist many years later.” Wessmark's artwork is in the collections of the European Museum of Modern Art, Barcelona, The Count Ibex Collection, New York, City of Stockholm, Karlstad municipality, as well as several private collections in USA, Sweden, Germany, and Mexico.

"Coexist" - Geometric Portrait Op Art Original Painting by Tim Christie
Located in West Hollywood, CA
This large, horizontal painting measures 55 inches high and 90 inches wide. It is hand signed and dated by the artist on the back. It is stretched and ready to hang. The sides are painted black and it does not require framing. The fusion between angular geometric abstraction and softer, anatomical forms, like faces, spawned an original and intriguing new aesthetic. His innovative, fashion-forward style has been described as a modern synthesis of Op Art, Pop Art, Street Art, Geometric Expressionism and De Stijl. “I was curious to explore the relationship between a very controlled technical aesthetic and facial features, with the inherent symmetry of the latter providing a shared language between these two worlds.” Tim Christie is a New Zealand based designer and artist. His artwork adorns the walls of the new Hilton hotel in Wellington, New Zealand. He has developed some of New Zealand's most iconic brands including identities for The Interislander, Radio New Zealand, New Zealand Wine and the city of Invercargill. His work has been featured in New Zealand and Australian design...

AT THE BEACH - Modern Women Portrait, Contemporary Figurative Painting
By Marzena Ślusarczyk
Located in Salzburg, AT
The patient waiting for Bresson's “decisive moment” characterizes the pictures of the young Polish painter Marzena Slusarczyk. The compositions of her works have the magic of a successful photography. Often with a powerful neckline, they use expressive foreshortened perspectives and unusual versions and they take us into an intimate dimension of the women portrayed. However, Slusarczyk's pictures are mainly emotions captured on canvas, and this is what makes her works so special. The women she paints perform normal, banal activities in everyday life. But they are the key to reading the feelings of the female figures lost in thought. The lack of clarity in the artist's pictures allows the viewer to make their own interpretations. As the painter herself emphasizes, the aim of playing with the audience is to awaken the viewer's imagination and imagination so that they notice the seemingly invisible. This mystery and the unspoken are reminiscent of the paintings by Michelangelo Caravaggio...
