Untitled 564
By Joe Doyle
Located in San Francisco, CA
This painting with added elements is an excellent example of Joe Doyle’s abstract illusionist art. It is composed of acrylic on shaped canvas with fabric elements added. It measures 36 x 43 inches. Each edge has been painted except for the left edge which has a frame. The right edge has been shaped. The black elements of the tent-like structure are added fabric. The work is signed, titled "564" and dated on the reverse. As well it bears a label from Harcourts Gallery, a gallery in San Francisco during the 1980s and 1990s. The work is in very good condition. Joe Doyle established himself as a painter during the movement toward new abstraction in San Francisco in the mid-seventies. Stylistically his work evolved from photo-realist renderings of aircraft which exaggerated differences in focus of background and foreground" By 1975 his imagery shifted to arrangements of flat, geometric forms and tubular squiggles in a trompe l'oeil manner that created the illusion of a multi-layered, three dimensional space. By the late 1970s Doyle, along with James Havard, Jack Reilly, George D. Green, and others, had attained national prominence working this style now referred to as Abstract Illusionism. Doyle and others were included in 'Reality of Illusion' a large touring exhibition of primarily American illusionist artists organized by the University of Southern California and The Denver Art Museum. Doyle enrolled at San Francisco State College receiving his M.A. in 1971. From 1971 to 1975 he was a photo-realist transferring images from photographs using airbrush techniques on canvas, occasionally adding political satire into the subject matter, as in "Ice House...

By Igor Fomin
Located in Fort Lee, NJ
The Whisper of Ernestine is a part of the diptych 38x57 in (97x146 cm) of size. This painting is sold with Certificates of Authencity. The Duality of two contrast beginnings that exist inseparably, but nonetheless creating the One whole thing, man and the woman, ying and yang. This eternal story for conversation and for truth searching. Here we can see two persons, but the real hero is hidden. One story told for two people. This colorful and black and white scene magically connects and divides parts of the Diptych, identifying the heroes of the Painting. Each painting, being fully finished, not only adding to the other one, but continuing it, demonstrating kinetic arts. This dialogue about love is making the spectators following the story and sincerely get emotional for Igor Fomin...
