About the Item

Realistic original still-life floral oil painting on stretched linen, titled Calla Lilies in Amber Glass, measuring 30 x 24 inches by 19th Century French Academic trained artist Gary Korlin (1956-). The striking painting depicts white long stemmed calla lily flowers in an amber glass vase, and gorgeous reflections on the table upon which it sits. The striking black background enhances the illumination and transparency of the delicate white callies and their elegant long green stems. The masterful emphasis on lighting and reflection of flowers and glass amber vase add mood and dimension. This painting is unframed and is in excellent condition. Gary Korlin works in a decidedly French nature and the naturalistic approach is embedded in his 19th Century French Academic training, coupled with a thorough understanding of classical aesthetics and technique. He seeks an impression of life from a delicately modeled rose to the energy of a wind-swept landscape, relying continuously on his ability to create the illusion of the third dimension. From figures in darkened spaces to patterns of blown weeds in sun-drenched fields, his naturalistic eye captures the mood of the subject and the emotion it evokes. Unsettled with a career in illustration and architectural renderings, he took to traveling. While living in Australia he became aware of 19th Century Australian landscape painters. Taken by their naturalistic view and sense of reality, he returned to St. Paul and enrolled in Atelier Lack, which offered the finest training in 19th Century French Academic drawing and painting. After being placed in a figure drawing competition at the New York Academy of Art, he was invited to attend their 2 year program. After this, Gary took a position with Evergreene Painting Studios, a New York based mural company, which sent him to work in South Africa. It was there that the American painter met his wife-to-be and together they moved to Italy and lived in the mountains overlooking Florence, deep in the heart of Tuscany. His work in Italy was well recognized by the Marquise Della Robbia, descendent of Luca Della Robbia, the 15th century Italian sculptor. Returning to a larger studio in St. Paul, Gary continues with life-sized figure work, landscapes, still-life’s and an ever-growing demand for portraiture. Still frequenting the European scene, his paintings hang in collections in England, France, Italy and Austria. His work has been shown in San Francisco, New York, London, South Africa and France.
