About the Item
Artist Comments
The magic and mystery of a European town hall in the piazza after dark. Artist Laura (Yi Zhen) Chen captures the town's vibrant and gleaming colors as night slowly sets in. "This locale is known for their intricate facade, ambiance, and decor," shares Laura. "The windows in the elegant buildings give a soft warm glow no matter how cold the night is."
About the Artist
Laura begins the painting process by taking multiple photographs, which she then combines and sketches into one composition. She takes a spontaneous approach to color, and often finds that her final paintings are quite different than her original intentions. As such, her color palette is vibrant and at times unexpected. Laura’s artwork is executed with stylized modernism, featuring heavy outlines and dramatic shadows. Much of her subject matter is architectural. “I especially like historical buildings in my area,” says Laura. “I am fascinated by the geometric shapes of the old buildings, their varieties and repetitions, their dramatic color contrast. To me, their simple structures have personality and dignity.” Laura works best when her studio is clean and well organized, and finds inspiration in the “miles of good paintings” hanging in the world’s great museums.

- Red Barn Reflections, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
In artist John Jaster's impressionist piece, a brilliant red barn stands in a lush wheat field. It dwarfs in comparison to the two towering trees neighboring it. The bright sunlight reflects the scene in a still pond skirted by wild grasses and reeds. Thin wispy clouds stream along the sky in the fair weather.About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths may seem unrelated, John says...Category21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Impressionist Interior Paintings
