About the Item
'G.R.A.S' no. 4' a series of 4 panels framed together into a single painting. The artist created the work using latex and acrylic on an original Collagraph print mounted to wood. Professionally framed in a minimal museum quality oak frame.
G.R.A.S
An acronym for "Generally Recognized as Safe", a US Food and Drug Administration designation for artificial additives, G.R.A.S tells the story of one of the world's most coveted spices: vanilla. Native to Mexico, where vanilla orchids are naturally pollinated by endemic bees, the spice is now cultivated largely in Madagascar, where the plant must be pollinated by human hand.
Due to vanilla's high cost of production, other flavorants are often used to mimic its taste. Castoreum, a chemical that comes from the castor glands of beavers, was a popular vanilla substitute until it's own collection process became unsustainable. Today, most "vanilla" is really a concoction of lab-produced chemicals--generally recognized as safe--and castoreum is used in limited quantities, found in luxury products like Eau de Musc.
Jane Kim was a recent Artist in Residence with her non(NATIVE) series of paintings at the de Young Museum of Art in San Francisco, that considered relationships between native and non-native species. In 2015 Kim created the world's largest Ornithology mural — So Simple a Beginning — at Cornell University Lab of Ornithology. The mural is 70 x 40 feet and depicts the evolution and diversity of birds in the Visitor Center, Ithaca, NY. Jane Kim's Migrating Murals span the Eastern Sierra, and her fine art paintings are collected Internationally. From Andra Norris Gallery in California

- When I Was Younger - Minimalist Scenic Still Life Flowers in a Vase PaintingBy Mike GoughLocated in Los Angeles, CAGough’s interest in the elusive quality of memory has always been an invariable interest in his art practice. Rooted in memories of his upbringing in Newfoundland, Gough’s paintings are autobiographical but carry universal narratives. In the absence of detail there is an opportunity for one’s own memories to develop. An expansive solitude and sense of isolation is met with a universal feeling of what it means to belong. This unique 16 inch square mixed media painting on panel explores our relationship with memory and the natural world. This piece is signed by the artist on the back and is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted and the artwork does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping available. This artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery. At its core, his practice explores how our relationship with the natural world connects and defines us. Working in mixed media, he endeavors to create familiar meditative spaces that exhibit a personal journey, but simultaneously invite the viewer to insert themselves in the narrative. These paintings partially stem from a fear of memory loss as a result of experiences with Alzheimer’s in his family. Not only does the painting process exercise Gough’s memory, but the paintings themselves act as records of his experience becoming a blend of reality and idealism. They are not painted from photographs; the places are not precisely rendered and the experiences are not accurately told, but they are Gough’s authentic recollection of them. The intent of his work is to create a patchwork map of memories as a guide back to the authenticity of human feeling.
