About the Item

"Giant At Sea" is an Asian Inspired Painting with a colorful Samurai and sailing boats in the ocean, with lots of white waves. The piece is created using ink, egg-tempera, and a gold leaf. Illustrative and inspired by cult comics and his time in Asia, Konstantinos Papamichlopoulos' artwork has the feel of pristine Byzantine icons from a museum, and he utilizes an expert gold gilding technique. His work is edgy, contemporary and regal all at once. Konstantinos Papamichalopoulos was born in Athens, Greece in 1975. He studied painting and printmaking at the Athens School of Fine Arts, where he also received a postgraduate degree from the Digital Forms of Art programme. Currently he is a PhD candidate at the Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences. Papamichalopoulos is a contributing illustrator for Babel and Mov magazines, and worked with Eleftherotypia and The Vima newspapers. He is the cover artist of the Athens Review of Books and he also is a freelance illustrator at the Dutch De Groene Amsterdammer. His latest published books are The Japanese 3 and Talos. In 2003, he was commissioned by the Benaki Museum for a portrait of the benefactor Andonis Benakis, and in 2004 his work became part of the museum's permanent collections. His work can be found in various public and private collections both in Greece and abroad.

The Realm of Imaginary Mystery 2021 (A Tibetan Narrative Wall Painting) BY GADE
Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist. Signed on the reverse of the painting Medium: Acrylic paint with gold leaf and mineral pigments Exhibited: M50 Daigo Art Centre, Shanghai "Gods and Men of the Himalayas" 2021 “The Realm of Imaginary Mystery” is an amazing Tibetan Narrative Wall Painting. Artist’s Statement The Realm of Imaginary Mystery continues the narrative approach I have been experimenting with, with much of the linguistic expression coming from elements of mature Tibetan wall paintings. Narrative in painting is something that Western modern art and Chinese literati painting have strongly rejected, but I believe that it is precisely the way in which traditional Tibetan art is expressed. It is also the native language system that I have always been searching for. It is not defunct, it has just not been activated to connect to the contemporary context. Unlike the traditional narrative, my narrative is scattered and fragmented. Like the chaos of the times. This work was painted during the epidemic, which made me experience the uncertainty of world affairs and the impermanence of life. The word "vague and confused" is actually a homophone of "Sumi". The reason why I use "vague and confused" instead of "Sumi" is that I think "vague and confused" is more suitable for the world we live in, which is unreal and confusing. It is in the virtual that we gain knowledge, produce and record history. Perhaps when historians study our generation in 2,000 years' time, the internet will be the great transparent medium in which trivial or significant records of the virtual world will be recorded, like a phantom suspended over this era. When a thing is erased from the virtual world, that is perhaps its demise in the historical sense. Perhaps the world we live in, the dreams we hold on to and the art we create are, from the beginning, just a phantom of illusion. GADE GADE is a leading Tibetan Artist, Art Professor and Curator with 30+ years of experience in painting, and lecturing on finding one’s voice through contemporary art. Gade’s creative concept is based on the “Tibetanized background”, and continues the first-perspective Tibetan art, still using traditional Tibetan Thangkas, murals, Tibetan Buddhism-related materials, composition, style and other elements. He is an active, worldwide exhibiting artist with a portfolio of work available upon request. Gade currently lives and works in Lhasa, Tibet, China. Gade's works have won the Bronze Award of China National Art Exhibition and Special Award of China Fine Brushwork Painting Exhibition, and the TAR Art Exhibition Silver Award. His works have been collected by many museums and galleries, including: National Art Museum of China (Beijing), Rubin Museum (New York, USA), White Rabbit Art...
