About the Item

Gail Potocki's study from her Seven Deadly Sins series personifies Sloth through a frozen figure and her icy snail companion. Symbolist oil painting on linen, 2017. This artwork is presented professionally framed and arrives accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Gail Potocki (b. 1961) is a contemporary artist whose work crosses multiple boundaries: she has been lauded by popular media (Huffington Post, Mother Jones) and pop culture art journalists (Juxtapoz, Hi Fructose), as well as celebrated in traditional art media (The New York Art World, American Artist). The paintings of Gail Potocki have been exhibited in galleries worldwide, as well as in notable and internationally distinguished institutions including The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Minneapolis Museum of Art, The Art Gallery of Toronto, and the H.R. Giger Museum in Switzerland. Potocki’s paintings have been on the covers of numerous books and magazines, and her collected works have been documented in the hardcover monographs The Union of Hope and Sadness (Olympian Publishing, 2006) and Freaks (Century Guild, 2017). A documentary on her creative process titled No Witness in the Slaying of a Memory is currently in production and is expected to be completed in 2019. Born and raised in Detroit, Potocki lives and works in Chicago. "Brilliant occult portraits from the Symbolist underworld of the 21st century. More than just paintings, Gail Potocki conducts seances on canvas." - Grant Morrison, author and psychic revolutionary "A really fantastic artist... It's refreshing to see a modern painter that has a classic, romantic touch and the skills to add a fresh facet of expression to the new period of Realism." - Robert Williams, legendary painter and founder of Juxtapoz magazine

L'Aurore by Eugène Carrière, Symbolist lithograph, 1898
By Eugène Carrière
Located in Chicago, IL
Shrouded in light and shadow, a figure halts in anxiety while a precipice forms the horizon. Carrière echoes fellow Symbolist Edvard Munch’s Der Schrei der Natur (also known by the popular name “The Scream”) in L’Aurore, a quintessential example of Carrière’s misty and spectral body of work. An 1897 oil study for this work sold for 26,400 GBP (approximately $36,190) at Christie’s in 2007. Stone lithograph of Eugène Carrière...
