About the Item

Waiting - it is what we all have been doing during this tumultuous year. Artist Peter Lupkin is no different. In his work entitled "Portrait of William, April, 2020" a family member becomes the only subject Lupkin has readily at his disposal. William has a calendar above his shoulder as if just waiting to check off a few more days of solitude. Arms crossed and glasses at his knee, begging to ask the question - is there really anything to see right now? Peter Lupkin Portrait of William, April 2020 oil on canvas 36h x 24w in 91.44h x 60.96w cm PLU045 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.

"Adam", Original Oil painting by Kelly Birkenruth of Young Man
By Kelly Birkenruth
Located in Denver, CO
Kelly Birkenruth's "Adam" (2024) is an original oil painting on panel, measuring 14 x 11 x 2 inches. This striking artwork features the detailed portrayal of a male torso, emphasizing the muscular structure and the subtle interplay of light and shadow on the skin. The background’s soft, muted tones contrast beautifully with the lifelike depiction of the subject, highlighting Birkenruth’s technical skill and artistic vision. The painting is framed, with overall dimensions of 15 x 12 inches, enhancing its elegant presentation. Known for her ability to capture the human form with both realism and sensitivity, Birkenruth's "Adam" is a compelling addition to any art collection. Kelly Birkenruth’s captivating paintings are in the style of contemporary realism while staying firmly grounded in the tradition of the Old Masters. She is able to pull the viewer into her paintings by interweaving emotion with a humanistic quality through her supreme handling of light. Through her portraits and still lifes she is able to evoke sensitivity and empathy, which in turn allows her to create images which transcend mere representation to capture the true essence of her subject. Kelly’s arresting compositions, draftsmanship, use of color and observation of detail allow her to create paintings with a timeless quality. After earning her degree from Pennsylvania State University, Kelly moved...
