Gabriele Esau
Banquet of shimmering Personalities, Painting, Oil on Canvas

2018

About the Item

The work shows a fine society that has gathered at a table for a feast. The participants are blowflies, whose bodies shimmer metallically due to their blue, green to golden-green glossy colouring. While this sheen exudes a certain fascination, these insects share a fondness for odorous, decaying organic matter, such as carrion. In summary, the dazzling personalities gathered at the banquet can also be briefly described with the saying: "More appearance than reality". Appearance in this context is the external impression that cannot always be relied upon. Being, on the other hand, is the assured fact. This is an oilpainting on Belgian linen. :: Painting :: Surrealism :: This piece comes with an official certificate of authenticity signed by the artist :: Ready to Hang: Yes :: Signed: Yes :: Signature Location: Front bottom right :: Canvas :: Landscape :: Original :: Framed: No

Installation, Oil Painting
By Michael Wedge
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Part of artist Michael Wedge's series explores the contrast between urban and rural environments. This surrealist painting depicts the installation of some digital technology in an unlikely place in nature. A woman prepares to climb up the ladder while another approaches with an open laptop and an extension wire at hand. They are busy in the middle of an open field with a fox wandering between them and deers grazing in the distance.


About the Artist
Michael Wedge works in a variety of mediums: sculpture, painting, mixed media and more. He oftentimes starts with a mental image and creates digital collages, which become the basis for his paintings. A lot of his work references themes from his personal life, such as the experience of living in a city versus in the countryside. If his art seems mysterious, it;s because he enjoys making complex works. "I am attracted to images or moments that seem to have something subtle or hidden under the surface," he explains. When he;s not making art, he teaches it at an elementary school.
