Contemporary Original Abstracted Figurative Silkscreen - Life's Frustration

Circa 1970

About the Item

Contemporary Original Abstracted Figurative of Profile and Detailed Eye Silkscreen - Life's Frustration A compelling abstracted silkscreen of profile of man with detail of his eye with teardrop. The teardrop and left-facing swastika (thought to represent the footprints of the Buddha) in the center of the pupil invites the viewer to contemplate the sitter's mood and attitude. [Analysis: The imagery appears to be a side portrait of Adolph Hitler and the Viewer sheds a tear with the reflection in their eye of the painful imagery.] Signed: "Lewis" lower right Title: "Life's Frustration" Paper size: 13.50"H x 16.38"W Image size: 13"H x 16.25"H Framed size: 14.25"H x 17.50"W

"Set Us In Stone II" (abstract, pink, women, Parisian, graphic, bust, natural)
By Nicholas Evans
Located in Paris, IDF
SET US IN STONE II 2022 Paris, France Originally created as part of Nicholas' solo exhibition "This, and Thereafter (Plumes)," December 10, 2022 - January 7, 2023. The theme illustrated the enigmatic uncertainty around what might happen after life. A range of paintings were presented – vibrant and ethereal – touching on different aspects of this notion. Each painting had a different point of view, oftentimes focusing around the inevitability of what is to come, and if and how it influences the present. This particular piece centers around personal legacy, how you will be remembered, and how your life vanishes into an abstraction as time goes by. This notion is visualized with a bust set in stone. The technique Evans used was a mixing of water-based ink with a hint of pink, that he knew would react when overlaid with white acrylic, pulling out a lighter hue of the pink ink. The white silhouette of a portrait set in stone creates a ghostly continuation of the underlaid pattern. Option to create a pair alongside "Set Us In Stone I" (as pictured). Price and size are per painting. Evans Deventer...
