Art Tatin
Red Grapes on a String, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
A bunch of red grapes illuminates from within, resembling tiny light bulbs. The artwork portrays their classic shape and translucency with white and purple speckles on their skin. Painted with Flemish techniques, the process involves building the image through multiple layers of paint, adding richness and detail to the composition.


About the Artist
Artist Art Tatin creates realistic still-life compositions inspired by classical techniques and masters. After years of exploring surrealist and abstract styles earlier in his career, he discovered true artistic satisfaction and inspiration by returning to traditional painting methods. In pursuit of grace, he draws his reference material from his neighbor's flower bed, a bird's song, or a produce aisle. "In our hectic and stressful modern lives, when we often overlook beauty, I make it my goal to capture it," says Art. He emphasizes the importance of composition in his creative process, considering the relationships between objects, colors, and angles. While Art doesn't have a traditional studio, he separates workspaces to control dust and lint, which is crucial to keeping foreign particles away from his works. Beyond painting, he enjoys reading, watching movies, sitcoms, and tending to his home and backyard.

  • The Milkmaid, Oil Painting
    By Jose H. Alvarenga
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Jose H. Alvarenga illustrates a still life of a vintage milkmaid ornament. "I found this lovely figurine on eBay and decided to buy it and paint it," shares Jose. A rare and unique decoration that implies elegance in its simplicity. He highlights the rustic quality of its costume, face, and posture.


    About the Artist
    Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.
