About the Item

Rob writes: "As a child of the 70s, I was raised by TV and movies. This pop culture upbringing shaped my sensibilities as an artist. As a result, my paintings are a carnival of theatrical whimsy. Words are a central feature in my art. I love how a font can tell a story with a single flourish. Vintage lettering and signage gently manipulate us to feel a sense of longing for the past. This is why my entire art career is shrouded in the bleary haze of pop-culture nostalgia. My latest series of paintings is the culmination of all my obsessions. By integrating iconic movie quotes onto roadside signage I am merging pop culture, nostalgia and humour. This blend of elements creates something familiar and yet completely new!" Quote is from "Die Hard With a Vengeance"

  • Summer Walk
    Located in Toronto, ON
    My paintings are constructed slowly and deliberately by building layer upon layer of vibrant acrylic colour. My approach is similar in the way areas are carefully developed with a concentration on form and shape, and an attentiveness to light and colour. The image emerges and builds in this way, simplifying details in the process, creating a balance of abstraction, representation and bold, saturated colour. Eaton has had over forty-five solo exhibitions of her work and her paintings hang in numerous private and public collections. Eaton’s work has been acquired by: the New Brunswick Art Bank; Mount Allison University; RBC Dominion Securities; Aliant Telecom; Nesbitt Burns; NB Power; the UNB Art Centre; Toronto Dominion Bank; Atlantic Lottery Corporation; Centre d’Art de Baie-Saint-Paul; and the Masterworks Foundation, among many other public and corporate collections. Early in her career, Eaton was invited to participate in the Symposium de la Jeune Peinture au Canada, in Baie- Saint-Paul, Quebec. The youngest of fifteen international artists, her large twenty-foot painting...

  • "Restless Sea, " Contemporary Abstract Painting
    By Teodora Guererra
    Located in Westport, CT
    This contemporary abstract statement painting by Teodora Guererra is made with acrylic and oil paint on canvas. It features a coastal palette, with layers of paint applied in wide, sweeping gestures, layering varying shades of blue over one another. The painting is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas, and is wired and ready to hang. Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques. Her focus has always been pushing the limits through experimentation with new materials. “As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," the artist says of her work. "I'm a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and saturate color on large canvases. My most successful work looks as if it happened all at once. It sometimes takes 7 or more paintings to produce a successful one and then it's a beautiful thing." Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY, William & Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg...
