About the Item
AGAVE, an oil painting on canvas by Anna Ortiz, measures 12" high x 16" wide. Agave is recent work and characteristic of the artist's practice – the palette is restrained, the colors are harmonious and surreal – with muted golds and greens, with the succulent's leaves seeming very alive, this vital plant on the edge of a forest or copse is all the more forceful given its composition. As the background recedes in scale, the agave grows in stature.
From Anna Ortiz – "Inspired by the archeology of Mesoamerican figures and the landscape of Mexico, the creatures in my paintings come to life in dream-like landscapes where they are neither dead nor alive. Their narrative nature references ancient Aztec and Mayan mythology. Out of the ruins of a previous existence, these new gods embrace their ambiguity. Dualities define them and give them shape. Weaving together invented spaces with references to actual locations, the paintings take both a familiar tone and a sense of the uncanny."
Anna Ortiz (born in Worcester MA, currently living in Brooklyn NY) is a painter primarily focused on creating socio-psychological landscapes. Her work reflects on global issues through painterly collapses and constructions. Ortiz received a BA/BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. During her undergraduate years, she spent a year studying at the Louvre in Paris. Ortiz completed her MFA at Tyler School of Art, spending her second year in Rome Italy. Her work has been exhibited at Proto Gomez, Transmitter, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, Partners and Son and Lesley Heller, New York.

"Endless Summer", acrylic, canvas, artist tools, toys, paintbrush, tube, beach
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Endless Summer" is a well-known artwork among Peter Schenck's many remarkable paintings, and addresses subject matter that continues to engage the artist – the tools of painting and art making, including brushes, tubes of paint and palette knife are arranged in a child-like tableau alongside brightly colored and eroticized inflatables of the hand, the breast, the dollop of paint... And all of it reminiscent of toys on a beach under blue skies where anything should be possible.
From Peter Schenck: "Endless Summer mixes up the time-honored tradition of the still life with my feelings on an artist's attachment to their tools – brush, palette, paint – an attachment at times bordering on erotic, at times feeling awkward and all-thumbs. I was also taking on Tom Wesselmann's concentrated still lives of the 60s and 70s, banal and erotic all at once."
"Endless Summer" is an acrylic paint on canvas measuring 30" tall by 25" wide. It was included in the group show "Sitting Still" at Bravin Lee Programs Gallery, New York City in October 2017, and showed alongside work by Fairfield Porter, Thomas Nozkowski, Janet Fish, Robert DeNiro Sr...
