Rob Katkowski
Pale Moon - Original Dream-like Landscape Painting

2019

About the Item

Rob Katkowski’s original oil painting, Pale Moon, is a captivating exploration of form, color, and abstraction that draws viewers into a serene, dreamlike landscape. Measuring 12 inches tall by 16 inches wide, this oil on canvas composition is a testament to Katkowski’s masterful ability to balance simplicity with emotional depth. The artist’s distinctive style merges subtle geometric elements with soft, atmospheric tones, evoking a sense of calm and quiet mystery. In Pale Moon, a gently sloping hill, rendered in muted earthy greens and ochres, dominates the composition. Above the hill, the sky radiates soothing shades of soft blue, giving the piece a tranquil and ethereal atmosphere. A small, pale yellow moon is delicately placed in the upper right quadrant of the canvas, its faint circular glow barely perceptible—an exquisite nod to the artist's theme of transitional spaces and unseen worlds. Subtle, abstract details punctuate the foreground, including bold white strokes and hints of red and pink, which offer a striking contrast to the otherwise subdued palette. These carefully placed marks suggest a narrative—a mysterious, otherworldly interaction taking place on the hilltop. Katkowski’s fine use of line, seen as faint incisions across the canvas, further enhances the sense of movement and interconnected pathways, inviting viewers to interpret the scene as both serene and filled with possibility. The artist’s background, rooted in a fascination with the threshold between reality and the metaphysical, enriches this piece with layers of meaning. Born outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and holding both a BFA and MFA, Katkowski has spent his career exploring alternate realities and the invisible pathways that connect them. Pale Moon perfectly embodies these ideas, serving as both a contemplative landscape and a gateway to the unknown. The sides of the canvas are carefully painted, ensuring a seamless, gallery-ready presentation. This artwork requires no framing and is wired and ready to hang, making it ideal for contemporary interiors seeking a touch of subtle sophistication. Collectors drawn to ethereal landscapes, modern abstraction, or narrative-driven art will find Pale Moon a meditative addition to their space. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery and affordable US and international shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Katkowski’s ability to create visually minimal yet emotionally profound compositions has earned him recognition in private and public collections, including PNC Bank and the Fairmont Hotel. This piece invites viewers to pause, reflect, and explore the quiet beauty of its landscape while hinting at the profound, unseen worlds that lie just beyond the visible. Pale Moon is not merely a painting; it is a story waiting to unfold. Artspace Warehouse has been representing and exhibiting Rob Katkowski’s original artworks since 2024.

Looking at the Swallow Birds - Large Original Painting on Canvas
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Mohamad Khayata’s original figurative artworks are the result of five years of displacement and deal with themes of migration, memory, and identity. Mohamad’s paintings exhibit an array of emotions, ranging from bliss and comfort to tension and uncertainty. Many of his artworks portray a sense of transience, which is all the more palpable when considering that Khayata's intimate work is a tribute to displaced people and to their daily life stories that, far from familiar surroundings, are filled with effort and hope. Khayata created this original painting with acrylic paint on canvas. It measures 46 inches high by 39 inches wide. This artwork was created in the artist's new studio after his previous studio was destroyed in the 2020 blast in Beirut. It is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas. This painting is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this original work. This artwork is part of a new series of imagery by the artist, in which Khayata's illustrative paintings are strategically placed to mingle with people and the environment. These paintings amass a memorial narrative; connecting the artist and the viewer to the rich cultural heritage of Syria and the larger narrative of what it means to be home. Born in Damascus, Syria, artist Mohamad Khayata was forced to flee his home country due to ongoing political conflict. Khayata has been living in Beirut, Lebanon since 2012. His work is a resounding call for transformation and unity within his home country. His photography project "Stitching my Syria back" was chosen to be part of Journeys Festival International 2016 as a landmark for the “Look up” project in Leicester, where his photographs were installed on ten buildings. During this public exhibition coordinated with the Royal Institute of British Architects, his photographs were installed on ten buildings, fostering a deeper connection between art and the public, highlighting empowerment and enriching a younger generation’s aspirations for the future. In the last few years, Khayata has participated in an increasing number of collective exhibitions across Europe and the Middle East, where his distinctive style and original approach have captivated audiences, leading to sold-out exhibitions each time, cementing his status as a sought-after artist in the global art scene. Holding his BA in Fine Arts obtained at Damascus University, Khayata is a bastion of Syrian legacy, memory, home, and happiness.
