Pia Chavarria is a visual artist born and based in Costa Rica. Her work surrounds the constant representation of the human body through painting and drawing which depict characters in unknown interactions and situations within themselves and each other. Chavarria’s use of vague, hazy color and stains with frantic scribbles and brushwork help to speculate about the characters identities, relationships, sexuality and context.
She has a Licentiate degree in plastic design with an emphasis on pictorial design from the University of Costa Rica. She has had solo and group exhibitions in physical and online spaces like “La Salita” in NYC; “Media home” in Buenos Aires, Argentina; “Nos Vemos” in San Jose, Costa Rica; the “Costarican Museum of Arts”; the “Second Festival of Performance Arts” in Amapala, Honduras; and the 2021 Hoper Prize Grant finalist.

Mid century. I am guessing from the 1940s

Robert Philipp (February 2, 1895 – November 22, 1981) was an American painter influenced by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, and known for his nudes, still lifes, and portraits of attractive women and Hollywood stars. Noted art critic Henry McBride called Philipp one of America's top six painters of his generation. He was an instructor of painting at the Art Students League of New York for 33 years. WPA Era. Philipp was Secretary of the National Academy of Design, and National Academician, Benjamin Franklin Fellow, Royal Society of Arts in London.

His compositions and painting style have been compared to the art of Edgar Degas and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Philip won prizes in most of the important exhibitions of his time, and his paintings are in numerous museums and important private collections.
In 1940, Philipp was invited to Los Angeles by Hollywood mogul Louis B. Mayer to paint portraits of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie stars.

Untitled, Watercolor on Paper, Black, Yellow color by Rabin Mondal “In Stock”
By Rabin Mondal
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Rabin Mondal - Face ; Watercolour on Paper
9.6 x 12.8 inches (unframed) ; 2008
( Shipment will be in a ready to hang )
Mondal was a clear observant of the various migrant workers who lived along his house in the conjected Howrah Area. They came from far to work and earn their livelihood. He would observe them and was deeply moved by the labour and low rung working class who carried all the heavy load oriented work. He would paint the men and the women , some distressed , some gloomy but with a force that would uplift them to be the heros of the society.
Surprisingly Mondal was never depressed himself although he painted people in hard labour and poverty .
Style : Mondal`s works are mainly figurative. He paints in bold strokes and creates tableaux, whose themes are universal. The faces of his figures stare at you out of the canvas, strange and pensive, but also strong and defiant. Not yet beaten, survi...
