About the Item
Artist Comments
A solitary patron in a bar abandons his untouched drink and heads to a phone booth, carrying crucial papers in hand. The cigarette he leaves behind continues to burn in the ashtray as he hears the familiar "number, please." The Art Deco interior creates a timeless aesthetic to the intriguing scene. The artwork reflects on the anticipation and profound impact of life-changing calls.
About the Artist
Artist Mitchell Freifeld depicts architecture that evokes memory and nostalgia. Using a modernist approach, he highlights details that often fade into the background of familiarity. With his camera, he meticulously documents the world around him, using his shots as a reference for his art. "My works are the product of a process that is more intuitive than intellectual and a passion for simple, modern architecture and light," says Mitchell. After winning his first juried show at 10, Mitchell's lifelong dream of becoming a full-time artist took root. A pivotal moment in 2001 prompted him to seize the chance and devote himself to art-making. Now, he dedicates most of his time to a compact studio within his garage in Portland, Oregon. Mitchell's life revolves entirely around his creative pursuits, taking pictures, and working seven days a week with paints and brushes.
