About the Item

This is a multi-panel installation of heavy-body watercolor painted panels, depicting the surface of the Moon. Mounted and ready for installation, this piece is signed on reverse. Each panel is painted in watercolor with photoralist precision. This composition and tiled collage technique, references space photomosaics assembled by space scientists to map the stars and planets. Since the first missions to space, countless space crafts have been taking photos this way. "I have always been fascinated with this style of mapping, and in creating work of art based on this method, I have drawn my own map, choosing what I will depict and how it will be displayed. I have created an impression of the landscape from an unseen world. " -Thomas Broadbent Thomas Broadbent has shown extensively throughout the U.S. as well as internationally.

    Watercolour, Acrylic Painting and Charcoal on paper. Work Title : "Lagatjar" Artist : Fabien Granet (FR) The work is signed and dated on the back of the work. Unique work. Size : H26xW21cm. With archival Mat, framed in a 30 x 24 cm frame. Born in 1970 the artist lives and works in France. The majority of his drawings and paintings are inspired by the wild landscapes of Brittany in France. " The drawing as a gesture allows me to exploit a (re)mise-en-scene as so many possibilities in the making. Through the quality of drawing as a marker of thought, it is not a question of constructing "dream worlds" but rather of setting up a device that would allow for a conscious dialogue of a certain perception of the real." Fabien Granet is pursuing a research on the perception of the landscape, on our ways of trying to represent it, to understand it, to understand its structures. The drawn "landscapes" are thus as many projections of the artist, which convene and reveal his artistic path, the influences of his culture, his utopias, his dystopian fantasies. Another shift where the quasi scientific concern of objective rigor and the mental construction of an construction of an individual course. The drawing appears in this sense as an act as much as a work which The drawing appears in this sense as an act as much as a work which is registered in a research and a quest to pierce the enigma of the real. In his landscapes, Fabien Granet evokes a process of the mind, where shreds and fragments become entangled in a re-arrangement of of reality. Snippets of architecture and geometrical figures draw human and his gaze into it. The landscape is a human creation, but how does human try to perceive it, how does he understand its constructions? what is his mental image of it? Chaos and structure intersect in a paradox of our vision of the world: the artist picks out the sensitive elements in a reflection on the possibilities in the making.

  • VFD 3, watercolor, unframed, Industrial landscape, work on paper, Building
    By Ferdinanda Florence
    Located in Riverdale, NY
    VFD #3 is an industrial watercolor painting on paper by California artist, Ferdinanda Florence. It is 11.25 x 7, unframed. It is based on the building in Vallejo California where the fire department conducts training. Ferdinanda Florence was born in Washington, DC, and grew up in Arlington, VA. She received a degree in art history and studio art at The American University in 1994, and has continued to pursue a successful professional life as a scholar, teacher, and practicing artist. She earned her Master’s degree in art history at the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1998. A second-generation Armenian-America, Ferdinanda has explored in her research the role of place in artistic expression. Her Master’s thesis detailed the link between Armenian religious rituals and church architecture. In her travel to sites in France, Italy, and Germany, she has researched the symbolism of doorway and floor decoration in Romanesque buildings. In her artwork, she uses industrial sites in her home city of Vallejo to explore issues of place on a more personal level. Ferdinanda’s exhibitions reflect her varied interests and concerns. Her work has appeared at the Di Rosa Preserve, Napa (“All in the Family IV,” 2005); the University of San Francisco Law School (“Creative Justice: A Social Art...
