Leopold Segedin
Craps - Original Mixed Media on Panel, Framed

2001

About the Item

The painting is called Craps, but it's really not about craps. First of all, the setting is the door of Gregory Grammar School, where I went to school and painted often. It's part of my memory. But it stands for a lot more that just memory. Who was I in those days? That's me standing there in the front, facing away, and all the guys are in the corner playing craps. It's not about craps but about me not playing craps. It's me as an outsider. Me watching, or not watching. Knowing its going on but I'm not involved. I felt like an outsider when I was a young kid. I didn't participate in many of the games that the other guys played. I didn't play sports. I didn't do the other kinds of things they did. So there's an environment in which this was occurring and me being part of this sense of isolation, of separation, of being different from the other kids. It's something you don't want to think about too much. As an adult I never felt that. I worked. I participated in all the activities of the job. But when I was a kid I felt different. I was interested in things these other kids where not interested in. I had friends, but only one or two friends who were close. When the other kids were playing basketball, I'd go out there and try to play, but I never felt like I was really playing Looking at this painting reminds me of all those experiences. - Leopold Segedin Leopold Segedin Craps mixed media on panel 12h x 16w in 21h x 25w x 1.5d in framed LES010

tempio di Antonino e Faustina

Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life. We often speak of a "brain drain," but in this case we are truly happy to be able to say that this is a "return," and an important one: an artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art...

Joel D. Sager (b. 1980) is a contemporary American painter of landscapes, still-life and portraiture. Often drawing on such standard subject matter with economy and singularity— a solitary figure in a room or misplaced sock on a bed— the conceptual element of his work becomes a contemplation on meaning for even the simplest objects: person, place, or thing. Sager's process often involves a distinctive mixture of media, incorporating tar with oil pigments, or wallpaper with squid ink...
