About the Item

Provenance Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist. FRAMED: 50.375" x 40.375" x 1.625" UNFRAMED: 40" x 30" Artist Statement "As a young boy, my father often took me to the electric fountain on the corner of Santa Monica and Wilshire Boulevards in Beverly Hills at night. I was captivated by seeing the colored lights change on the 6-foot sculpture of the kneeling Gabrielinio Tongva tribesman in prayer. The changing lights in the pool and on the bas-relief at the base of the column added to the visual experience. The fountain was installed in 1931 and restored in 2016. As a former president of the California Art Club, I was happy to find out that the sculpture and bas-relief were created by Robert Merrill Gage who became the thirteenth president of the California Art Club in 1932." – Peter Adams Exhibited California Art Club's 111th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition at Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, California, July 17 - September 11, 2022 Published Catalogue, California Art Club's 111th Annual Gold Medal Exhibition at Bowers Museum, Santa Ana, California, 2022 Fine Art Connoisseur magazine, August 2022, pg. 25 FRAMED: 51" x 41" UNFRAMED: 40" x 30"

Night Burger; Genre painting of a fast food worker looking out to a quiet beach
By Tony Peters
Located in Pasadena, CA
Artist Statement: "Over a decade ago, before this Fatburger location in Sherman Oaks was renovated, I was admiring the evening neon light bouncing off of these chrome stools. I had even started to paint the entire parking lot full of cars across the street, but decided that the mood of the piece would be enhanced if I changed it to a seaside location, making this piece more of a fiction. Story often draws me into a painting, and I felt the exaggerated aloneness was more connected to the feelings of inspiration I found in this place." -- Tony Peters Artwork Description: Night Burger by Tony Peters is a breathtaking oil on canvas painting that captures a considered and tranquil atmosphere with striking detail. This oil on canvas piece depicts a solitary fast food worker, standing alone inside an illuminated burger stand and gazing out into the night sky towards a distant beach with crashing waves. The painting's warm and vibrant colors bring to life the peaceful and serene mood of the scene. The figure in the painting wears an orange uniform and grey cap, with no customers present, creating a sense of solitude and introspection. The neon lights that illuminate the burger stand enhance the painting's warm and calming ambiance, reflecting the worker's silent reflection. The harmony between the worker's outfit and the neon lights creates a subtle yet cohesive effect, adding to the painting's overall beauty. Night Burger by Tony Peters inspires rumination and contemplation. Its minimalist presentation adds a contemporary touch to the piece, making it a perfect addition to any modern or traditional setting. This painting captures the beauty of the mundane and celebrates the peace that can be found in solitude.

Large Scale Winter Twilight Landscape Painting by Artist Mauritz Lindström
Located in Stockholm, SE
This stunning winter landscape by Mauritz Lindström captures the serene yet striking beauty of a snow-laden scene illuminated by the warm glow of twilight. The interplay between the soft, colorful hues of the evening sky and the intricate, frost-covered branches creates an almost three-dimensional effect, drawing the viewer into the composition. The detailed rendering of the snow and the trees evokes a profound sense of coldness, making the atmosphere almost palpable. Measuring an impressive 101 x 152 cm (39 3/4 x 59 7/8 in) with the frame, this large-scale work is a testament to Lindström's mastery of light and texture. Arvid Mauritz Lindström...
