About the Item

JULES MUCK – "ISKANDER" ⚜ Acrylic on Canvas ⚜ Signed and Dated Lower Right ⚜ Provenance: Lab Art, 2012 A MONUMENTAL PORTRAIT FROM THE ICONIC LA STREET ARTIST Painted in 2012, this large-scale portrait by Jules Muck captures Iskander Lemseffer, founder of LAB ART LA Street Art Gallery—the largest U.S. gallery devoted to graffiti and street art. With its raw brushwork and cinematic tension, the painting immortalizes a figure pivotal to the West Coast street art movement. LAB ART opened in 2011 with a groundbreaking show that included over 50 urban artists, from Thank You X and Alec Monopoly to CYRCLE, Becca, and Muck herself. This work, created during the gallery’s peak, speaks to that moment in time when street art transitioned into the mainstream without losing its rebellious core.

Originally from New York and mentored by Lady Pink, Muck began as a graffiti writer before moving to Venice Beach, where her vivid, fast-rendered works began appearing on walls, dumpsters, and even cars across the city. Her signature green palette and satirical portraiture have earned her wide acclaim. She has exhibited at LAB ART alongside notable names like Alec Monopoly, Thank You X, Gregory Siff, and CYRCLE, and her work has been featured in The Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, and numerous documentaries about the street art movement. Muck continues to straddle the line between guerrilla graffiti and fine art, with her canvases collected internationally and her murals defining neighborhoods from Venice to Silver Lake.

Tim Nordin "VIII.1 Study" Signed Acrylic on Canvas Panel, Frameless Presentation
By Tim Nordin
Located in Miami, FL
"VIII.1 Study" BY TIM NORDIN (B. 1945) Acrylic on Canvas over Panel ⚜ Signed ⚜ Frameless Display A VIBRANT STUDY OF COLOR, TRANSPARENCY & STRUCTURE A rare and original acrylic on canvas over panel, Tim Nordin’s "VIII.1 Study" (1976) is a striking example from his renowned Transparent Sumi Brush Mark series. This work is defined by layered organic strokes of deep blues, vibrant greens, and subtle earth tones, forming a rhythmic interplay of color and light. Nordin’s distinctive brushwork creates a composition that shifts dynamically depending on light and perspective, a hallmark of his innovative approach. His technique results in an immersive, pulsating visual field—where each mark remains distinct yet seamlessly integrates into the whole. This meticulous layering and structured spontaneity connect his work to Abstract Expressionism, Op Art, and Color Field painting. This highly collectible piece was exhibited in Nordin’s 1982 Palm Springs Desert Museum exhibition and remains an essential work for collectors seeking dynamic gestural abstraction and structured color play. WHY COLLECT THIS WORK? ✓ Highly Collectible – A rare hand-signed original by Tim Nordin ✓ Exhibited Work – Featured in Nordin’s 1982 Palm Springs Desert Museum exhibition ✓ Optical Depth & Color Play – A dynamic surface with layered transparency & gestural brushwork ✓ Historical Provenance – From the Collection of Mr. & Mrs. Ricardo Sanchez, acquired directly from the artist ✓ Frameless Display – Ready to Hang – Presented in its original artist-preferred format ARTWORK DETAILS: ▸ Title: VIII.1 Study ▸ Artist: Tim Nordin (b. 1945) ▸ Medium: Acrylic on Canvas over Panel ▸ Year of Creation: 1976 ▸ Signature: Hand-signed, titled, and dated on verso ▸ Provenance: Collection of Mr. & Mrs. Ricardo Sanchez, acquired directly from the artist ▸ Country of Origin: United States ▸ Dimensions: — ◼︎ Image Size: 12 x 12.125 inches — ◻︎ Panel Size: 12 x 12.125 x 1.625 inches ▸ Condition: Excellent – Vibrant colors with well-preserved surface clarity ▸ Framing: Frameless Display (Artist’s Standard Presentation) – Ready to Hang INCLUDED DOCUMENTATION: ✓ Certificate of Authenticity ✓ Artist Biography Document ✓ Excerpts from the 1982 Palm Springs Desert Museum Exhibition Catalog THE ARTIST: Tim Nordin is an American abstract painter best known for his exploration of transparency, repetition, and structured mark-making. His work draws inspiration from a wide range of influences, including Mark Rothko, Sam Francis, Josef Albers, Kazimir Malevich, and the Optical Art movement pioneered by Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. While elements of his work reflect the gestural expressiveness of Abstract Expressionism, his approach to composition and structure aligns with Color Field painters such as Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler. Born in 1945, Nordin traveled extensively before settling in California, where he studied fine arts at Cerritos College and later earned his MFA at Claremont Graduate School, concentrating on printmaking and experimental painting techniques. Early in his career, he experimented with plexiglass, vinyl, and alternative surfaces, seeking ways to push the boundaries of traditional painting. By the 1970s and 1980s, Nordin became known for his Transparent Sumi Brush Mark series, in which he developed a meticulous method of layering individual brushstrokes to form structured, organic compositions. These works, featuring veils of fluid color and precise gestural marks, evoke the optical depth and rhythmic movement found in Bridget Riley’s Op Art...
