About the Item

"Gray Afternoon" is a dynamic oil that captures the energy and movement of a glistening street scene in downtown Los Angeles, and is an excellent example of Pil Ho Lee's modern approach to Impressionism. Included is a custom black wood frame chosen by the artist for this painting. Pil Ho Lee was was born in Seoul, South Korea. Having a father who was a gifted artist, he naturally developed a love for art. When he was nine years old, his family immigrated to the US, settling in Los Angeles. As an immigrant, he found drawing to be a language immediately accessible with my classmates. He decided on a career in graphic design, earning his BFA in Visual Communications at Cal State Long Beach. Since 1995 he have worked as a graphic designer and art director for clients that include Canon, Sony, Disney, American Honda Motorcycles and Yamaha Motor Corp. In 2010, an artist friend and mentor challenged him to devote time and energy to painting. This encouragement along with his thoughts on the artist’s role in the exaltation of transcendent truth and beauty has helped define him as an artist. Lee was chosen to exhibit his work at the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts from 2017 to the present.

La Salle Street, Rainy Day, Oil Painting
By Yangzi Xu
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Yangzi Xu depicts an iconic view of LaSalle Street in Chicago, facing south from the bridge. She rendered this piece in a warm muted palette, setting the stage to highlight sporadic lights and reflections on wet concrete. "My focus was to convey the mood and feeling a rainy day brings to my beloved city," shares Yangzi.


About the Artist
Artist Yangzi Xu captures a nostalgia for Chicago and its dramatic seasonal changes in her expressionist cityscapes. Having a full-time job and being a wife and mother, Yangzi makes a habit of painting everyday to keep her passion exciting and fresh. She keeps a queue of ideas and reference photos that she takes throughout the year. She looks through her references, tweaks and adds elements to them. Once inspiration strikes, Yangzi draws several sketches and begins to work with oils on canvas on multiple pieces at once - to keep each painting spontaneous and new. "I try to capture the paradox of life in the city, where one can be in a crowd and yet feel alone," Yangzi says. "My main intent is not to capture the physical reality of a scene, but to express my own moods and feelings to my audience." In her free time, Yangzi enjoys reading, with her current favorite genres being biographies and memoirs. Yangzi is an alumnus of DePaul University in Chicago.

Evening Rain, Oil Painting
By Faye Vander Veer
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Faye Vander Veer depicts a cozy rainy evening in the city. "You can almost hear the sound of the tires as the traffic moves along the wet pavement," says Faye. Drizzly street scenes are among her favorite subjects to portray. She paints reflected headlights and other ambient lighting to give a feeling of warmth and calm.


About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. Her dramatic use of color, texture, light and shadow lend a glowing quality, creating an energy all their own. While using her own photographs as a general reference, it is her sensory memory of the event and her emotional reaction that is conveyed on the canvas, causing the viewer to be transported to another time and place. “Painting becomes a language I use to express my emotional response to what is before me and share my experience of the subject with others,“ says Faye.

Located in Yardley, PA
Oil on Canvas 40 x 30 x 1.5 inches from New York City * people walking around on this soft rainy day evening, street seems to be a little quite today but cozy enough to imagine a cup of hazelnut coffee and a brownie. * In most recent years, Shin has dedicated his focus on New York cityscapes. The expressiveness of New York City -- its brilliant culture, vast history, and even the very streets of the metropolis -- has continued to inform his work as he develops his artistic voice. Shin’s ultimate goal is to transform the scenes of daily life into a kind of visual poetry through his technical mastery of breaking down color and light. That visual poetry is the basis of a new kind of art form which Shin hopes to create and convey, influenced by Korean calligraphy...
