Uniform Language "Camo" 52 paintings
Located in Burlingame, CA
Stephanie Peek's "Uniform Language" Camo paintings showcasing an assortment of worldwide camouflage (both historic and contemporary) from countries around the world. The complete installation includes 52 original works that are each 10 x 10 inches. Can be hung in an assortment of ways. The artwork comes with a template for installation as shown below. The series started following 9/11 with the bombing of the World Trade Center in NY. and continues to today. Stephanie Peek's "Uniform Language" is a constellation of small painting on alabaster-coated wood panels featuring camouflage patterns of nations worldwide. Peek’s fascination with these patterns stems from her observation of nature (including her studies of flowers, for which the artist is well known), and compositions of shapes and color relationships. When hung in the configuration shown, the overall dimension is 77 inches tall x 132 inches wide. The artwork can hang in a variety of configurations. Each camp painting is 10 x 10 inches. Fascinated by how various countries use camouflage patterns to represent and to disguise themselves and their military equipment, the artist explores how countries see themselves in this pattern language that speaks of power and fear, while also considering each painting a prayer for peace.

Original Abstract Texture Green Resin Painting Wall Sculpture - The Earth XLIV-1
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Victoria Kovalenchikova’s artworks are an outlook at the transformation of the world surrounding us; a shout in the cold infinity of cosmos. It is an attempt to understand the impact of people on the planet through the language of art.
The contemporary trend in her paintings is characterized by a figurative integration of abstract elements. Creatively mixing media from cement, resin, acrylic and epoxy on stretched canvas, Victoria’s work is simultaneously sculptural and painting.
The surface of this 32 inch tall by 40 inch wide artwork is covered with a shiny layer of clear, glass-like resin, which enhances the colors and adds depth. The sculptural, green and orange elements protrude beyond the smoother, parts of the artwork. The sides are finished as a continuation of the front, creating more layers and detailing. It is signed, titled and dated on back by the artist. It does not require framing and is wired and ready to hang. Free delivery within Los Angeles. Affordable US and global shipping options are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by Artspace Warehouse is included.
Her series on the World is immediately familiar, provoking us to step closer and have a better look, then after a few moments the nuances of her art appear. Her training is evident in her skill in creating the textures. Her charisma can be felt by her depiction of the ocean and their various shades of colors. Victoria’s work is magnetic and is being consistently collected by art lovers.
Victoria Kovalenchikova was born in Belarus in 1978. She lives and works in Amsterdam (Netherlands) since 2008.
Kovalenchikova's works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and can be found in private and corporate art collections and museums worldwide, including the Philips corporation in Eindhoven, Netherlands; RABO Bank, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Museum of Russian Art, Jersey City, USA; Museum of Belarusian State Academy of Arts, Minsk; Contemporary Fine Art Museum, Minsk, Belarus; The National Art Museum of The Republic of Belarus, Minsk; Maslennikov Art Museum, Mogilev, Belarus; Romanov Regional Study of Local Lore Museum, Mogilev, Belarus; Mogilev Museum of Ethnography, Belarus; Belarusian Embassy in Berlin, Germany; Belarusian Embassy in The Hague, Netherlands; Belarusian Embassy in London, United Kingdom; Municipality of Coevorden, Netherlands; Kolodzei Art Foundation, NY, USA; other private collections in Germany, Poland, Russia, Belarus, USA, The Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, France, Lebanon, Singapore, China, Saudi Arabia, United Kingdom, Turkey, France and Switzerland, India.

About the artist:
Seeking the spiritual in art, Raymond Jonson developed an abstract style of painting that was unique in pre-1940s New Mexico. While his colleagues in the Transcendentalist Painting Group similarly shared his interest in the metaphysical, Jonson alone found his means in a non-objective relationship of forms. Strongly influenced by Kandinsky, the painter moved from stylized representations of nature to formalist expressions of universal harmony. In order to achieve his aims, he became a master of materials, known for his meticulous working methods.
Born in Iowa, Jonson spent his early years moving around the country with his family, necessitated by his minister father's work. They finally settled in Portland, Oregon, in 1902, and this same year Raymond had a spiritual experience in which he sensed the presence of God. When his family's Baptist faith disappointed him, he transposed this feeling to art, to which he committed his life. When the Portland Art Association established its Museum Art School, Jonson enrolled as its first student.
His dedication led him to Chicago to study at the Academy of Fine Arts, a very good commercial school, which afforded a strong grounding in drawing. Here he met B.J.O. Nordfedlt, a Swedish immigrant, who introduced the younger Jonson to the colorist experimentation of the Fauves. The Arthur Dove exhibition and the Armory Show brought to Chicago both expanded his awareness of the emotive possibilities of modernist art movements.
From 1912 to 1917, Jonson was lighting, stage set, costume, and graphics designer for the Chicago Little Theater, America's first experimental theater. Among their bold departures was a minimalist aesthetic, which reduced the stage elements and enhanced the dramatic content with light. Devising the 9-switch dimmer board, Jonson (going by C. Raymond Johnson) became an international theater figure. He also met his wife, Vera White, secretary for the theater and poet.
On a trip to the Colorado Rockies in 1917, Jonson was moved by the power of this sublime landscape and its clarity of light. He began to consider how paint could express light -- material into immaterial. Teaching at the Chicago Art Institute, he was able to get away to the MacDowell Art Colony in 1919, and his elevated sensibilities increasingly perceived the oppressive side of city life. Believing the aim of life was toward harmony, Jonson placed new emphasis on design as a unifying principle. Reading Kandinsky's "The Art of Spiritual Harmony" further convinced him that the mission of art was to make this harmony visible.
In 1922, he spent the entire summer in Santa Fe, and his experience there filtered into his work upon returning to Chicago. When his mother supplied the money for a studio, he moved to New Mexico in 1924, building his home across the street from his friend Nordfeldt. Jonson pursued the concept of order as found in "simple basic motives of spaces and interesting variety of shapes and spaces, a balance of line direction."
In the work of the late 20s, he submits natural forms, such as mesas and even the Grand Canyon, to a dynamic patterning in which the quality of light becomes a design element. Significantly, Jonson thought that emotion could be included by creating juxtaposed rhythms within the composition. Influenced by Indian design, these paintings recall Art Deco ornamentation in the combination of organic and geometric motifs and the electric color effects.
Taking the next leap, Jonson set about purifying his work of all representation. Beginning in the thirties, he explored new ways applications of color and tonality to suggest the quality of transparency, which created the sense of different planes within one surface. Philosophically, this transparency was the artistic means to "expose the spirit of man." Carefully painting gradations, he achieved luminosity and, with colors close to each other, vibration. He eventually used an airbrush for further ethereal effects. Rather than suggest the metaphysical with subject matter, Jonson proposed an approach to painting which de-materialized the actual physical object. In 1938, he and Emil Bisttram were the core of the Transcendentalist Painters Group, which advanced these principles among other artists in Santa Fe and Taos.
As advocate and impresario, Jonson casts a long shadow. Although there was strong sentiment against it, he organized the modern wing of the Museum of New Mexico. In 1934, he painted six murals for the University of New Mexico, which began his relationship with the Albuquerque institution. For many years, he commuted there from Santa Fe but in 1950 he moved there to the gallery/studio provided. Upon his retirement in 1954, he continued to stage exhibitions, thus making the gallery a citadel of modernism in the Southwest. The building itself is a landmark of Pueblo Revival...
