About the Item

Stellan Mörner (1896-1979) The Lamp, ca. 1935 Oil on panel 9 4/5 × 13 in l 25 × 33 cm 15 3/4 x 18 1/2 l 39 x 47 cm (Frame included) Exhibition history: Nordic Surrealism 1930-1960 l June 19 - August 2, 2025, Nagas, New York A founding member of the Halmstad Group and one of the earliest painters to explore Surrealism in Sweden, Mörner played a key role in introducing modernist ideas to Nordic visual culture. After studying in Paris, he developed a quiet, structured Surrealism marked by metaphysical space and psychological ambiguity. His work from the 1930s is among the clearest articulations of Surrealist painting in Scandinavia at the time. Mörner was central in forming a dialogue between French avant-garde movements and Swedish visual tradition, bridging Cubism, Symbolism, and Surrealist poetics. His artworks were included in the landmark 1936-1937 exhibition Surrealist, Dada and Fantastic art at the MoMA.

Kelsey Seated, Arm on Mac - Original Oil Painting, Study of a Dancer
By Andrew S. Conklin
Located in Chicago, IL
A study for a series of larger paintings based on motion capture studios, this painting combines classic technique with modern sensibility. Here the seated model leans against an antiquated iMac. Upon closer examination, the preparatory sketch lines are visible on the model's feet and her forearm. Unfinished works were first seen during the Renaissance with Masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Donatello. It became fashionable to leave works incomplete, so much so, that it became an aesthetic term 'non-finito'. Andrew S. Conklin Kelsey Seated, Arm with iMac oil on panel 12h x 17w in 30.48h x 43.18w cm ACK011 Motion Capture Paintings, Chicago My recent painting series describes the reality of motion capture environments by showing the interplay between female athletes and male technicians. These paintings are meant to explore conventions of female representation in Western figurative art and to contrast this past practice with the contemporary imagery of that subject via computer-based image technology. This project was instigated by a number of things: first, by my abiding interest in depicting the human form in paint, as I find its versatility in a design, its invitation to empathy, and its difficulty, to be something worth attempting to depict with success. In addition, my curiosity regarding the new ways to depict the form using electronic technology seem to challenge to the traditional methods I rely upon, and I wanted to comment on the similarities and differences between the studios of the painters and the technicians. In this way, I aim to continue my investigation into what I see as the contrasting quality of human nature, and symbolically represent opposites such as mind and body, analog and digital, realism and idealism, terrestrial and the transcendent. Andrew S. Conklin is a figurative painter. He holds an MFA from the Academy of Art University, and studied painting at the National Academy of Design in New York City with Harvey Dinnerstein...
