Carolina Gomez
Emerald from the Mirror Stone series (Portrait Painting Hedy Lamarr)

2013

About the Item

CAROLINA GOMEZ Emerald from the Mirror Stone series (Portrait Painting Hedy Lamarr) 32 x 64 inches - Unique OIL ON CANVAS Carolina Gomez’s works have become known for the powerful questions they pose about personal female identity and society’s views towards women. The paintings focus on the female pop culture icon, impeccably recreated on canvas with oil and with what one might consider the most important part of the icon, the face, hidden. However, the icon’s face is not simply hidden with just anything but with precious gems of all sorts; diamonds, quarts, topazes, rubies, etc. The gems themselves take on a life of their own because of their commanding vividness and technical precision. This selection features an array of figurative paintings and collages from her latest series “Mirror Stone”: an exploration concerned with the intersection of power, beauty, and fashion through the juxtaposition of pop culture icons and precious gems.

  • Artist Horemans Paint Oil on canvas Old master 18th Century Flemish Painter Art
    By Jan Josef Horemans the Elder (Antwerp 1682-1752)
    Located in Riva del Garda, IT
    Jan Josef Horemans the Elder (Antwerp 1682-1752) circle of In the artist's atelier Oil painting on canvas - 48 x 45 cm, framed 61 x 56 cm. The pleasant painting illustrates one of the favorite themes of Flemish art collectors between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and precisely opens the doors of an art workshop / laboratory, illustrating the working environment of a group of troublemakers sculptors. What makes the composition fascinating is the real atmosphere, not artificial and also messy, such as to identify us in the context of the artists of the time. We see a couple of young clients, easily identifiable as two travelers on the Grand Tour (the globe on the right could allude to their journey), who have come to the atelier to see the bust that the gentleman is getting molded, as a perfect 'souvenir' from return home once the trip is over. And still other artists, perhaps apprentices, are practicing drawing, busy with bringing the details of a sculpture on their albums. Finally, a last character while viewing a large wall painting...

  • Hide and Seek (portrait) - abstract art , made in black and white, blue colors
    By Daria Kotlyarova
    Located in Fort Lee, NJ
    Hide and Seek (portrait) - abstract art , made in black and white, blue colors. The game of hide and seek. The leitmotif of the repeatability of the plot causes fear, fear is very romantic, this is the main motive of surrealism. Intrusive repeat of the plot. No fate. There is a choice. If everything is predetermined, there is no one to judge. In the modern world, the artist is a peculiar explorer of the time that he lives In. The “main character” of this world is a man whose gaze is turned inward. This view projects its existential reality, where the figurative language of painting is a method of transmitting abstract images of the experiences of the main characters and the time in which they exist on an equal footing with the viewer. Pictures of Daria Kotlyarova have no plot, at first glance, they have no action, but there is a moment. The moment before the second “before” ... and the viewer stops and freezes in tension, this is almost a psychological “cinema reception” that refers us to David Hockney...
