About the Item

Bask, Original Contemporary Surrealist Figurative Mixed Media Portrait Painting 42" x 33" x 1.5" (HxWxD) Oil and Print on Canvas This mixed media portrait by artist Sarah Jacobs features a lively and dynamic composition filled with a variety of patterns and natural subject matter that surround a smiling woman who reclines with her head resting back on her hands. Directly in front of her are two large tiger lilies that leap off of the canvas. The rest of the composition almost looks as though a wall has been layered with wallpaper and each one has been peeled back to expose another. Red and orange fall leaves stand contrast to a darker floral motif of purple flowers against a black background. Two additional patterns bring in a more man-made and art deco feel with the inclusion of ornate gold decoration. This style is very reminiscent of the works by contemporary portrait painter Kehinde Wiley. Artist Commentary: This is a portrait of my friend, Linda, who is also an artist. In some of her prints she takes elements of photos of her previous paintings and combines them digitally to create new imagery, so as an homage to her I used images of my previous paintings plus the new fall leaves pattern that I designed to create all of the imagery besides Linda, and parts of the lilies. She and they are painted. The rest is a printed collage of older paintings of mine. About the Artist: Sarah Jacobs is a contemporary artist. Her work has been exhibited in the US and in Europe and she has taken part in artist residencies in Grimma, Germany, Cali, Colombia, and Taos, New Mexico. She has won multiple grants, including the Arts Council England Grant, and her work can be found in public and private collections in the US, UK, and Hong Kong. She has had solo and two person exhibitions in New York City, London, Wrocław, Poland and Bristol, England, among other cities. Born in 1984, Jacobs was raised in Littlestown, Pennsylvania.

    Butterfly Dreams 30.0 x 40.0 x 2.0, 8.0 lbs Acrylic on canvas Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "A woman is seemingly in flight over the ocean, with her body being made up of butterflies. More are flying in, others are flying out. The woman has no legs - in fact, upon closer inspection, she consists of only head, hair, arms and hands - the butterflies have flown in to form the shape of her body - but in some places, you can see right through to the water or sky. Surely, this must be a dream. And perhaps, it is the dream of the woman depicted in the painting. That is for the viewer to decide." About the Artist: Tom Blood...

    ’Ηeavenly Creatures’’ Heroins & magical creatures, in an elegant ,romantic approach, and a perfect technique all the way to the last detail. The female form, the female face is the muse in most paintings, although we can also find a gender neutral approach, an androgyny as a protagonist with the same always features, such as youth, sensualism, innocence and optimism. Inside these dream-like images overfilled with euphoria, these fragile figures are kind souls with rich inner beauty. Figures that we can relate with if we dig deeper into our souls.
