Howard Tangye
Nobu (Hands on Legs - Blue & White), Mixed media on ochre parchment

2014-16

About the Item

Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Nobu (Hands on Legs - Blue & White), 2014-16 Mixed media on ochre parchment 100 x 70 cm (39.37 x 27.55 in) (signed) (unframed) *Framed image is representative only.

  • "Ahote" (from Hopi Indian culture) Mixed Media on Paper by Tom Perkinson, Framed
    By Tom Perkinson
    Located in Encino, CA
    "Ahote," an original mixed media on paper by Tom Perkinson, is a piece for the true collector. His use of saturated violets, vivid yellows, and resplendent oranges pushes color to almost-otherworldly realms. Perkinson describes his style of painting as "Romantic Realism," a technique that incorporates two iconic art movements. This style, in combination with the imagination of the artist, produces remarkable results, showcasing Perkinson's keen ability to capture emotion, nature, and life - all in a brushstroke. Both his technical talent and choice of subject matter pair nicely with its original wood frame with hand painted accents. This masterful work is perfect for those who have an affinity for art depicting American Indian culture, Plains Indians, Hopi Indians...
