Liphus Swindall
Overdraft (mixed media on canvas)

About the Item

The concept originated from the acquisition of a bank draft register from the 1920s. The text sheets reflect that era of economic prosperity before the Great Depression and the subsequent millions of people who fell into debt and poverty. Initially, the central figures were depicted in shackles and chains, but I later decided that an orange jumpsuit would be a more contemporary reference to financial “imprisonment.” The bold, heavy outline and vibrant fluorescent colors used for the central figures draw the viewer’s attention and create a striking contrast to the neutrals I used in the backgrounds. I intended these pieces to serve as a cautionary tale, urging viewers to avoid the pitfalls of credit and the enslavement of consumerism. By presenting the apparent abduction of the male character while the female helplessly watches. At that time, women weren’t able to secure financial freedom without a male guarantee. I challenge viewers to confront their own comfort levels and financial experiences with this work. Mixed media, abstraction, and the human form are three artistic elements that I’ve explored separately but now integrated in these two pieces.

Through his process of building up and stripping down his renderings of the human figure, Storms unlocks the synergy between the object and its environment, and between the physical and the metaphysical. Drawing influence from Michelangelo’s Rondanini Pieta and Crucifixion drawings, Italian fresco, and Ken Wilber’s philosophical inquiries, Storms creates images that portray the inevitability of change and its consequences.

Samara II
By Alea Pinar Du Pre
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Alea Pinar Du Pre's original mixed media artworks portray human figures in a graphic pop-realist style. An enterprising autodidact merging technology and fine art, her vibrant contemporary pop-figurative artworks colorfully explore the territory between human reality and artificial reality. Her paintings portray the fact that our perceptions of solid reality are deceptively virtual. This unique collage is a part of her "Snapshot" series, as she explains: "We consist of the same atoms, created billions of years ago in a supernova. And here we are living and breathing and experiencing life, and we think we are all so different. I think we are all the same, it’s just that are masks and poses are different. I love humanity and this game we are playing. With snapshot, I am trying to capture the unawareness of the fact that we are the greatest wonder of the universe". This one-of-a-kind 47 inch high by 62 inch wide artwork depicts the portrait of a female figure. Pinar Du Pre's fusion of materials - acrylics, printed elements, and layers of gilt captured under an epoxy lens - represents the layered reality she aims to depict. The sides of this canvas are painted as a continuation of the front and it does not require framing. Pinar Du Pre has signed, titled, and dated this original artwork on the back of the canvas. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Building on the synthetic intensity of digital art, her figurative style depicts a familiar but warped daily life. Alea Pinar Du Pre has been influenced deeply by the traditional fine art and design practices of Kunstlerhaus and Wiener Werkstaette, two artist societies with roots in Vienna, Austria. Paying tribute to her main influences, Alea describes her style as "Jugendstil Pop-Art". But where Pop art was stimulated by the iconography of materialism and the mass culture of its time, her vision is more intimate in its subversive intent. Alea Pinar Du Pre lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Her artworks are exhibited and collected in international hot spots across Europe, Asia, and North America.
