David Konigsberg
Lemon Bowl (Modern Still Life Painting of Yellow Fruit in a Peach Colored Bowl)

2023

About the Item

Modern still-life painting on panel of lemons in a peach colored bowl against a pastel pin striped background "Lemon Bowl" painted by Hudson Valley based artist, David Konigsberg, in 2023 30 x 44 x 1.5 inches Sides are painted white so framing is not necessary Signed, verso This contemporary still-life painting by David Konigsberg features a bird's eye view of vibrant yellow lemons in a pastel peach colored bowl. Dark blue shadows contrast against the fruit's vibrancy while a soft, pastel pin striped background balances the bold composition. Oil paint is applied in thin, gestural layers allowing depth and texture to come into full focus. There is little impasto built upon the surface and the edges of the panel are painted white so it is ready to be hung as is. The painting is in excellent condition and the artist's signature is located on the back along with hanging wire. Artist Statement: For a painter who has always thrilled in the sweep and detail of landscape-based narrative, still life has been a yin to that yang, a way to exercise another sensibility, one that finds meaning in the closely observed and in narratives that are not only about the moment, but about what brought us here and left us here—unseen moments, pregnant with possibility, that are up to the viewer to decide. As a result, this work takes some license with the traditional idea of still life in that it sometimes simply means life that is still, animate yet caught between actions—the raise of a cup, the flip of a page, in the crouch before the pounce. In another departure, I’ve kept detail spare and stripped subjects down to their essences, using shape, color and gesture to tell the story, whether in straight-ahead paintings or in mixed media pieces involving monotype, painting and collage. About the artist: David Konigsberg is a conceptual realist who works across media and painting genres to portray transitional spaces, metaphoric moments and alternative histories. A long-time member of the Gowanus and Red Hook artist communities in Brooklyn, he is now based in Hudson and employs the area's landscapes as the setting and sometimes subject of his work. The artist’s work has been exhibited throughout out the United States and has been featured in The New York Times, Chronogram and Brooklyn Journal and numerous art and culture blogs. David Konigsberg lives and works in Hudson, New York.

    By David Konigsberg
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Vase in the Window (Impressionist Floral Still Life of Magenta Pink Peony Flowers in a Vase Against an Off-White Window Scene) by David Konigsberg oil on panel 50 x 36 x 1.5 inches no frame required - painting is wired on reverse for easy installation Signed by the artist, verso This painting is an exquisite example of the artist's unique ability to capture the very whimsical side of nature. Widely known for painting expansive views of the Hudson Valley where the artist often embarks on extensive hiking trails, Konigsberg also takes to painting more intimate and commonplace household objects. A coffee pot, salt and pepper shaker, or as in this case, a simple bouquet of long stemmed pink peonies careening over the side of a green vase; his use of oil washes capture both fluidity and structure. The fanciful treatment of the flowers calls to mind French Impressionist Toulouse Latrec...

  • In the Guest Room (Contemporary Interior Painting of a Bedroom Doorway)
    By Carl Grauer
    Located in Hudson, NY
    "In the Guest Room" painted in 2022 by Carl Grauer Contemporary Still Life Painting of a view into the Guest Bedroom Acrylic on Canvas in Custom Frame 16 x 12 inches, 19.5 x 15.5 x 2 inches framed in custom grey painted wooden frame Signed en verso In a new series titled Qu(i)e(t)er Interiors, Carl Grauer turns inward and brings us into an intimate space; his home. From a place of repose and safety, this environment provides warmth, comfort, and a stage to observe relationships among objects, beings, and the passage of light. His perspective tracks varied emotions, different points of view, and how the light is experienced by candlelight or sunlight reflected on walls and hardwood. “I found peace in observing the changes in light, and observing with slowness and mindfulness that comes during times of meditation.” Simple household objects are the subject of the rather complex compositions with layered perspectives. Grauer merges adept technical abilities with a penchant for authentic expression. This painting recalls the Dutch masters with its composition and soft application of paint. Sunlight streams in through the bedroom window, raking across a bed made up with white cotton sheets, and pooling onto the brown hard wood floor. This work is intimate, tranquil and is exquisite in its technical rendering. Artist Bio: Carl Grauer is a painter based in Poughkeepsie, NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley. He primarily works in oil, painting mostly portraits and figure-based contemporary realistic paintings. Born in rural Kansas, Grauer left to complete his degrees in human biology and his MFA in medical illustration...
