About the Item

Ancient One, acrylic paint and monoprint on canvas is staged with fluttering gingko leaves, the oldest living tree species predating dinosaurs. The central image is hand to mouth---how we keep alive. It is also mouth to hand--- conceptual to physical. Inside we see not only organs of assimilation but ribs, symbol of creation and protection. Ancestors is a series using cold wax, oil stick and layers of marked tissue paper with monoprints. The series explores, through transparent layers of overlapping images, the subtle awareness and unconscious influence of family living and not living as well as the influences of our intimates that people our psyche. These pieces simultaneously discover how ancestors are woven throughout various aspects of life and offer a realization of the multilayers of reality that are created from relationship with family, mentors and even our own nemesis.

Horacio Sapere (1951) - Abstract - Oil and collage on canvas Signed lower right Canvas measures 61x46 cm. Frameless. Title: Abstract with Portrait - Oil and Collage on Canvas by Horacio Sapere (1985) Short Description: A unique abstract piece by Horacio Sapere, influenced by artists like Antoni Tàpies and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Mixed media combining oil and collage, perfect for contemporary art collectors. Detailed Description: Discover the fascinating intersection of abstraction and figuration with "Abstract with Portrait" by Horacio Sapere. Created in 1985, this piece blends oil and collage on a 24 x 18-inch canvas, showcasing the artist's mastery in layering textures and integrating forms. Horacio Sapere, known for his multidisciplinary approach that spans painting, visual poetry, and performance, aligns himself with the tradition of great contemporary art figures. His work echoes the material intensity of Antoni Tàpies, the gestural energy of Jean-Michel Basquiat, and the narrative capacity of Robert Rauschenberg, establishing a dialogue between chaos and order, abstraction and figuration. Inspired by the artistic movements of the late 20th century, Sapere crafts a visual language that resonates with Informalism and Abstract Expressionism, making it a standout choice for contemporary art enthusiasts. This piece is ideal for those looking to enrich their collection with a work that is not only visually striking but also conceptually grounded. It includes a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its provenance and originality.
