Last Man Standing in the Last Bastion, Trees and City Landscape in Coral, Blue

2015

In this pointillist landscape, a forest scene with trees in woods is carefully painted in colorful dots in acrylic and gouache on Duralar mounted on panel. Signed and dated on verso. Kirstin Lamb’s gridded, meticulously detailed paintings on transparent acetate are labor-intensive paintings of labor-intensive textiles and patterns. To create these embroidery paintings, Lamb starts by generating a digitized grid and painstakingly painting each individual gridded stitch by hand using acrylic and gouache on a wet media acetate. The process creates a one-to-one relationship of mark to stitch, the act of each brushstroke serving for the stitch of a needle. Lamb’s embroidery paintings draw patterns from French floral wallpaper of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, while others draw inspiration from vintage embroidery...

In this horizontal landscape painting in ink and oil on paper mounted on panel, the artist's unique ink process creates soft striations of bright pink, dark crimson red, pale yellow and orange at the center of a layered, undulating composition. The result is an abstract landscape suggesting a hilly mountain range, while layers of oil paint and a soft, faint background create depth within the surface. Signed, dated and titled on verso.

Echo IV is a composite of images collected from my daily surroundings (light, architecture, and botanical forms) combined and reimagined as an attempt to grapple with larger questions of ecology and mutability. Layers of paper and cut Tyvek are painted and manipulated beneath the surface – pushed and pulled in and out of focus...

CHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...

Clean and modern landscape by Kipp Stewart (American, b. 1928). This piece is executed in a bold, blocky style. Large bushy trees cast shadows on lush grass surrounding a man-made pond. Behind the pond is other vegetation, as well as white houses with boldly colored roofs. The reflections in the pond are particularly captivating, completed with Stewart's signature attention to detail. Signed in the lower right "Stewart" Presented in a wood frame with a linen fillet. Canvas size: 24"H x 36"W Kipp Stewart (American, b. 1928) is an artist, architect, and designer from Pennsylvania. Known to furniture obsessives for the Declaration series he codesigned for North Carolina’s Drexel Furniture, Stewart is most commonly associated with mid-century design movements of his adopted home state of California. There, in 1972, Stewart designed the Ventana Big Sur, a luxury resort near Montecito for which he oversaw architecture, planning, furniture and interior design across 160 acres of land. By the time Stewart spearheaded the Ventana, he was already well versed in furniture design. After briefly serving in the U.S. Navy as a teenager, Stewart enrolled at the Chouinard Art Institute (present-day CalArts) in Los Angeles. By the time he graduated, he was steeped in the world of modern seating design, experimenting with new chair models that bridged form and function. Charles and Ray Eames were important influences on his early work, which included a chrome-framed lounge chair whose reclined shape bears a striking resemblance to the Eameses’ iconic lounge. In the late 1950s, Stewart partnered with another West Coast furniture designer, Stewart MacDougall, on a line of modern furniture for Drexel. (The pair were also producing case pieces and more for Glenn of California.) Drexel soon unveiled Stewart and McDougall’s Declaration line, which was constructed entirely of natural walnut and featured the choice of white porcelain or brass drawer pulls and cabinet door handles...
