About the Item
In this painting by Charles Jupiter Hamilton's "Downtown San Francisco," the pulsating heartbeat of the city comes alive in a kaleidoscope of color and form. This acrylic abstract serves as a psychedelic map of urban vitality, capturing the essence of San Francisco's bustling downtown district in an explosion of geometric shapes and lines.
Against a dark backdrop that hints at the enigmatic depths of the city's soul, Hamilton's composition displays shades of purple, pink, green, and blue intermingling with vibrant energy, celebrating the lively chaos of the metropolis. The landmarks of downtown San Francisco emerge with electrifying clarity. Buildings rise, cars parallel park, roads and tramway lines crisscross the canvas, weaving a labyrinthine network of pathways that pulse with the city's ceaseless movement.
Yet, amidst the joyful mess of city life, Hamilton's brushstrokes have a subtle intentionality. It is as if he seeks to convey the vibrancy of urban existence and the underlying sense of order and structure that gives rise to it. Each geometric shape and line is meticulously placed, suggesting a hidden logic beneath the surface frenzy. The possibility of hanging the painting horizontally or vertically invites the viewer to explore the cityscape from multiple perspectives. This reflects the ever-shifting nature of urban landscapes, where reality is in constant flux.
With its swirling colors and dynamic composition, this acrylic abstract plunges viewers into the pulsating rhythm of urban life. Every brushstroke tells a story of vitality, movement, and the eternal dance of color, light, and shadow.
Hamilton was born in Princeton, N.J., and moved with his family to a small farm in Troutman, N.C., in 1952. Preferring drawing and painting to farm chores, he joined the U.S. Navy in 1966. After serving in the military, he pursued his interest in art at the University of North Carolina. Hamilton’s sculptures, wall reliefs, and prints “are memorable and thought-provoking. His art conveys messages about personal battles with a touch of humor and satire. His skillful use of line, shape, and color expresses a sense of abundant energy
Hamilton made his permanent home in West Virginia, where he established his art career. For more than 40 years, he influenced many young artists. Through his works, including captivating acrylic canvases, hand-built sculptures, carved and painted wood wall reliefs, and self-pulled block prints, Charly has made his mark on the art scene. He died in 2021.

"Parisian Street", Cityscape Oil on Canvas by Robert Farrington
Located in Pasadena, CA
This Robert Farrington's painting serves as a visual gateway to a distinct period in post-war France, composed with a deep respect for the elements interwoven into the collective memory of Paris. His work adeptly engages with the archetypal settings and concepts that convey the quintessence of this beloved and frequently visited capital.
As the viewer gazes upon this artwork, they are instantly immersed in the ambiance of a food trade street, and especially the familiar historic brasserie “Au Pied de Cochon” - the sole establishment in the painting that still exists nowadays - and its surroundings at the heart of the bustling Halles district. At "6 Rue Coquillère", the act of opening the doors, each adorned with handles that resemble pig's trotters, transports one through a temporal gateway into the quintessential French world of "la cochonnaille"... The renowned "Pied de Cochon" restaurant made its debut in 1947. In its early days, it became the preferred gathering place for the "Forts des Halles" – the diligent laborers who tirelessly transported goods through the pavilions of the old Halles de Paris. From these dedicated workers to the luminaries of the time, this establishment emerged as a symbol of Parisian life. Farrington reconstructs a scene around this restaurant, nourished by her own Parisian experience when he was a young American living in France. An iconic Brigitte Bardot poster...
