About the Item

Oil on Canvas by Emmett Graham, realized in 2020. This painting was inspired by Jose Guadalupe Posada and all the imagery he created with La Calaveras, with his most famous one being La Calavera Catrina. He used his imagery to convey political and cultural critiques. Generations of artist have been influenced by his work. How many images have we looked at and we remember or have an emotional response to it. The skull represents a person who took the picture, created the image, or may even be in the photo. The camera represents the object being used to capture a moment in time. Though the person in the photo or the person who created it may be gone, they live on through memories and stories from that image. One image can inspire others, one image can start a movement, One image can tell story more than a thousand words ever could.

The Silence
Located in New York, NY
Oil Portrait. The Silence is from the ingmar Bergman movie of the same title and the painting features Ingrid Thulin and Gunnel Lindblom. About the Artist: John Francis Gallagher is a Boston-based contemporary artist. Born in Drogheda, Ireland in the Boyne Valley, he emigrated to the United States at 19. John worked in graphic design, advertising and architectural rendering before turning his hand, full-time, to painting. A self-taught figurative artist, his work has a vintage style that is influenced by the so-called pulp artists of the 20th century. In his large-scale canvases, tone is given precedent to create realism. Working within a limited palette of tones, The paint is woven under, over, and into itself in layers to create a portrait that is seemingly simple but satisfyingly complex. The work has a strong quiet energy that creates space for itself in a frenetic, busy world by being the exact opposite. Often drawn from 1960s European Cinema...
