Peter Lupkin
Hamburger Hat, Portrait of a Guy Wearing a Purple Shirt and Yellow Hat, framed

2019

About the Item

Classical Portraiture takes on a very casual feel in Peter Lupkin's painting entitled "Hamburger Hat". The composition is in the formal portraiture style with the subject gazing out to the viewer. That soft gaze, coupled with the relaxed clothing, invites us to come closer. Here we see an electrical outlet in the background which is in complete contradiction to the more formal and stiff portraiture style from which this painting is taken . The painting is framed in a simple black wooden frame. Peter Lupkin Hamburger Hat oil on canvas 20h x 16w in 50.80h x 40.64w cm PLU042 The artwork I create is a visual statement of my moral philosophy. The language I use to convey this philosophy in my pieces is one of traditional symbolism, this being indoctrinated into my personality through an apprenticeship into a traditional stained glass studio at the age of 14 and continuing to the present day. I seek to create scenes and narratives that are at the same time realistic and fantastical. I often use pre-existing stories when I am developing an image. I will then take these narratives and expose a less studied side of them, or try to bring them into a contemporary context. Ultimately my goal is to use modern imagery in conjunction with traditional techniques and connect them with contemporary society, showing both the narrative’s and the method’s continued relevance.

Enigma - Surreal Scene With Figure in Muted Greys, Original Oil on Canvas Framed
By John Seubert
Located in Chicago, IL
An enigma by definition is a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand. Such is the subject matter of John Seubert, aka John Grey's painting of the same name. The sphynx-like figure stares out at the viewer holding what appears to be a large bowl. The surreal scene is framed in a repurposed frame that the artist has distressed and painted. It measures 25.5h x 21.5w inches. John Seubert Enigma, 2023 oil on canvas 20h x 16w in 50.80h x 40.64w cm JSE076 John Seubert b. 1958, Chicago, IL In the early Nineties, John Seubert was living in a former hotel in a high-rise building on St. James Place in Chicago. The apartment was tiny, as hotel rooms tend to be, and clad with paper-thin walls allowing sound to pass from one apartment to the other. At the time, John’s artwork consisted of pounding copper sheets into tables which was a noisy endeavor to say the least. Following several noise complaints from the neighbors, John had a dream that he was living in a ramshackle house but with plenty of room to work and no attached neighbors. The following day after lunching at the McDonalds in Lincoln Park, John wandered the neighborhood a came upon a shabby, falling-down old Victorian house. He located the real estate agent, put in an offer, and weeks later was pushing a shopping cart full of his belongings to his new home. This 144-year-old Painted Lady provided a blank canvas for this inimitable artist. For many years the house remained so empty that John was able to ride his Japanese fold up bike throughout the 1st floor. “Some people want to have sex...
