About the Item
QUALITY is a classic Canadiana painting that focuses on sport fishing, by artist Peter Husband. The painting is in acrylic paint and oil pastel on stretched canvas, and measures 30 x 48". What began as an experiment for the artist – to gather on one canvas the outdoor activities he loves, the cottage life he loves, the country he loves – turned into a successful series of Canadiana paintings. Here the focus is on fishing, and playful juxtapositions abound – the J-Plug crank bait, a fishing rod barrel and line, the thill float and a vintage Canada Post 4¢ stamp with trains from 1851 and 1951 in the Canadian wilderness.
Of course the details enrich the experience. Tying fishing line on a barrel needs a knot, here the artist names the Arbor, Nail, Snell and Palomar knots. The central image, the J-Plug lure with hooks, is "crank bait" – meant to be kept moving through water as you crank the reel so the lure will "wobble, swim and dive". Which you may or may not know, though you may still enjoy the fact that the harkening to tradition, sport and regional tradition perhaps, is intentional and intrinsic to the artist's project.
While these details are compelling, it's the entirety of the painting that delivers a distinctive charm. Over 15 different visual elements are arranged in a relaxed, casual manner. Without a hint of contrivance, the artist is presenting a Canadian pastime and a Canadian history in a very modern framework.
Peter Husband is a self-taught Canadian artist with equal passion in the worlds of technology, the great outdoors and cottage life, and Canadiana. His paintings are in collections in Canada, the United States and Mexico. A solo show of his work will be presented by Gagné Contemporary gallery in Toronto, Canada in 2023.

Junk Food Junkie - Large Original Pop Art Painting on Canvas
By Nelson De La Nuez
Located in Los Angeles, CA
As one of the world’s most collected, significant pop artists today, Nelson De La Nuez is a born iconoclast. Using his unique juxtaposition of pop culture and surrealism, blended with America’s rich culture and history, De La Nuez has created works of art that are considered timeless. Listed on the “Who’s Who List of the Most Collected Artists of Our Time,” his works are original, bold and outspoken. The artist is known for his distinctive, trademarked style called “Art on the Edge,” which is creating art on all sides of the canvas.
This one-of-a-kind pop art painting measures 42 inches square. De la Nuez used Mixed Media, Acrylic Paint, and Oil Pastel on Canvas to create this original artwork. It is signed on the front and the back by the artist. The sides of this artwork are created as a continuation of the front and it does not require framing. It is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Nelson De La Nuez was born in 1959 in Havana, Cuba, and came to the United States at age seven. He was raised in California. De La Nuez studied Art History at Boston University where he was inspired by the French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist periods. Though his paintings are clearly Pop Art, the subtle humor of artists like Edouard Manet and Pablo Picasso echo throughout his playful work.
De La Nuez’s work hangs in some of the most prominent private collections of movie stars, directors, producers, comedians, and corporations. His work has been purchased by Sotheby’s for future auctions and his works sell out consistently at major international shows and fairs. Nelson De La Nuez tries to create a new generation of art lovers, drawing upon icons and art history to entice younger minds, in turn provoking the interest of the generation above them.
The L.A. Times called De La Nuez “the comedic da Vinci of our times.” His ability to use non-related images to achieve a whole new and stimulating outlook on life has brought him many awards and published features. The artist continues to challenge himself to incorporate new and exciting ideas into his art and his style. He believes he is a success if his art inspires people to think beyond the norm.
Artplex Gallery has been representing and exhibiting Nelson de la Nuez's original artworks since 2016. Artplex Gallery is a partner gallery of Artspace Warehouse. Artspace Warehouse has been a 1stdibs partner since 2014 with consistently excellent reviews from clients worldwide. The gallery exhibits a large selection of original artworks from established and emerging international artists with diverse backgrounds at high standards. Artspace Warehouse and Artplex Gallery are known to provide accurate descriptions, images, reliable services, communication, and delivery.
