1983
About the Item
The present work is an excellent example of the narrative paintings of Randall Berndt. In the painting, we see a woman in a carved canoe among sculptures and wooden structures - within a forest landscape.
Of this work, Berndt wrote: "This painting is one of a series based on the mythical adventures of a female protagonist who ventures into the woods and confronts her opposite. The content is about subjective fancy at play with the illusion of tangible sculptural forms. 'Little Audrey' had her sayings posted on a motel marquee outside Madison [Wisconsin] every day. I think she was a cleaning lady there."
This is the work of an immensely original intellect, an artist whose art is a melting pot for diverse cultural, art historical, pop, surreal, allegorical, and narrative ideas and iconography. This is art at once serious and playful and it invites the viewer to examine his or her own experience and discovery.

David Barnett, Amy Palmer, and Randall Berndt. The Spiral and the Dolphin: Visionary Paitnings. Milwaukee, WI: David Barnett Gallery, 1988. No. 2 (illus).
Randall Berndt grew up on a farm near Markesan, Wisconsin, and holds an M.F.A. degree in painting from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His work has been exhibited in many museum and gallery shows, both juried and invitational. These include, in recent years, the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio (where he received the Juror's Choice Award), the Sioux City Art Center in Sioux City, Iowa, the Grace Chosy Gallery in Madison, and Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Fish Creek. He is the recipient of a 1996 Wisconsin Arts Board Fellowship Award and the 1997 Mayor's Purchase Award from the Madison CitiARTS Commission. Berndt is director of the Wisconsin Academy Gallery, where he has curated two special exhibitions: "Maps of Encounter: The French in Seventeenth-Century Wisconsin" (1995) and "Rebirth of the Prairie: Aldo Leopold and Ecological Restoration" (1999).
Though mainly an urban dweller now, Randall has a continuing connection with the family farm in the rolling woodlands and fields of southwestern Green Lake County. There he gardens, plants prairies, and wanders with his three-year-old son amongst the pine trees that his father planted. Childhood ramblings in those woods and fields formed an attachment to nature and a feeling for her mysteries that continue to surface in his paintings. Later travels to European art centers have added cultural layers and other kinds of mysteries to the images he creates

"Sunset Over the South Atlantic Shore, Ghana, Africa, " Acrylic on Paper
By Samuel B. Kpetenkple
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Sunset Over the South Atlantic Shore, Ghana, Africa" is an original acrylic painting on paper by Samuel B. Kpetenkple. This piece depicts five figures standing before the whitecap waves of the ocean.
3 1/8" x 4 1/2" art
10 3/4" x 12" frame
Artist Statement: "As often said there are some few "indigenous and naturals" who seem to have been born with brushes and pallet knifes in their hands.
Nii Kpetenkple Samuel is one of such gifted and talented Artist; Painting to me, is one of the eloquent media for expressing myself about all the corners of the world and all that it holds; Of course it is not by accident, that i went into Painting. Nii Kpetenkple was born and bred in a coastal town, a suburb of Accra called NUNGUA, it's only 10 miles away from Accra. I am now in my late twenties.
Nii Kpetenkple, had his training as an Artist at one of the secondary schools in Accra - Ghana. Later I had my tertiary training at Ultimate school of Art, (u.s.a) Ghana.
I enjoy sketching, swimming, reading and music that keeps me working always. My childhood experiences with fishermen in their fishing expedition, fish mongers, market women, local houses or structures and meaningful Ghanaian symbols with abstract figures made me one of the expert in that area.
As an Artist, art enables me to see nature as eternal, grasp a fragment of the Almighty's plan, even a bit of land scape, few pieces of fruits or a human form.
Throughout my period of contemplation and years of uninterrupted close contact with nature, vast truths flashed upon my mental horizon, to which i gave expression in my paintings.
I had no doubt that, i had discovored a new realm in the world of painting and would carry on to a fuller completion with what many gurus of the Art industry like Picasso, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Cezanne, Van gogh, Gauguin, Ablade Grover, Amon Kotei...
