Carl Bretzke
"Metro Supperclub" oil painting of neon lights downtown street scene nocturne

2019

About the Item

Oil painting of a bustling street at night. Carl Bretzke cheekily renames the street "C. Bretzke Av" in his rendition of the scene. A bright squiggle of blue neon light ribbons across the painting, drawing the viewer's eye from the cross walk and warm streetlight in the center left of the painting to the right and the cooler street light and the hot red "deja vu" neon sign. The eye finally lands on pin pricks of light from windows in a shadowy building in the distance. Signed "C.Bretzke" along street sign on upper left. Framed dimensions: 27 x 35 inches Framed in a 3.5 inch black traditional frame. Artist Bio Carl Bretzke is a representational painter who specializes in urban scenes and plein-air landscapes. Carl's work has been exhibited extensively in Minnesota and California, including the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Carl has also trained extensively under Plein Air Painters of America signature artist Joseph Paquet.
