About the Item

Portrait of Other, acrylic paint and monoprint on canvas takes place in a major threshold. Looking through the threshold into a portrait of someone, or something somewhere that is not known and yet is somehow intimate. The figures are as alien to us as we are to each other. Ancestors, a new series using cold wax, oil stick and layers of marked tissue paper with monoprints explores through transparent layer of overlapping images the subtle awareness and unconscious influence of not only family living and not living but the influences of our intimates that people our psyche. In the visual art-practice the experience of this kind of discovery is the main interest. These pieces simultaneously discover how ancestors are woven throughout various aspects of life and the realization of the multilayers of reality in relationship with family, mentors and nemesis goes back and forward in time. The creative process often brings forth spheres of intelligence that slip by in daily life.

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.
