About the Item
Gina Minichino’s classical portraits of contemporary edible treats harken back to the 17th Century Dutch Masters. In this new series she takes it a step further - instead of the cracked nuts or sliced apples that appear in the classic works, Minichino has painted a spilled can of Spaghetti-Os, a tipped container of Lucky Charms, and fallen ice cream cones. Beautifully rendered on a neutral ground, Minichino’s very formal compositions are whimsical, playful, and a technical tour de force capturing a moment that will not last: a spoon standing in ice cream that will soon be too melted to hold it upright, a DQ cone balanced momentarily on its cracked and melting hard shell topping, ketchup slowing running out of a bottle on its side.
Minichino paints a very modern subject but her paintings are heavily influenced by Dutch and Flemish masters’ use of light and composition. Similarly, Minichino draws on the 17th Century Dutch still life tradition, which depicted food in a way that almost reified it in sumptuous stillness. Minichino’s work has a subdued, almost gothic sense of isolation despite its subject matter which convey a simultaneous sense of both exuberance and loneliness.
After studying cartooning at School of Visual Arts in New York City, Minichino started painting. She discovered a true talent for rendering and as she says, “really got a kick out” of painting as photo realistically as she could. Over the years she discovered that being photo realistic wasn’t the most important thing to her - her desire is to portray the subjects in a realistic way, but also to pull the viewer in to see the brush strokes.
When working on a painting, Minichino examines the packaging and considers the well thought out design that a team of graphic artists created. Rendering and recreating the texture of the foods with the contrast of the smooth, shiny or waxy packaging is a challenge that Minichino enjoys. Her works tend to have a quiet contemplative look - her desire is for the viewer to look closely at these objects and possibly see them with a new appreciation, and to preserve the art and design of these iconic products from the times she lives in.
Gina Minichino (b. USA) received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1990 and has exhibited throughout the United States. Her illustration work has been widely published and her paintings most recently appeared in American Art Collector Magazine. She lives and works in New Jersey.

Kelsey Seated, Arm on Mac - Original Oil Painting, Study of a Dancer
By Andrew S. Conklin
Located in Chicago, IL
A study for a series of larger paintings based on motion capture studios, this painting combines classic technique with modern sensibility. Here the seated model leans against an antiquated iMac. Upon closer examination, the preparatory sketch lines are visible on the model's feet and her forearm. Unfinished works were first seen during the Renaissance with Masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Donatello. It became fashionable to leave works incomplete, so much so, that it became an aesthetic term 'non-finito'.

Motion Capture Paintings, Chicago
My recent painting series describes the reality of motion capture environments by showing the interplay between female athletes and male technicians. These paintings are meant to explore conventions of female representation in Western figurative art and to contrast this past practice with the contemporary imagery of that subject via computer-based image technology.
This project was instigated by a number of things: first, by my abiding interest in depicting the human form in paint, as I find its versatility in a design, its invitation to empathy, and its difficulty, to be something worth attempting to depict with success. In addition, my curiosity regarding the new ways to depict the form using electronic technology seem to challenge to the traditional methods I rely upon, and I wanted to comment on the similarities and differences between the studios of the painters and the technicians.
In this way, I aim to continue my investigation into what I see as the contrasting quality of human nature, and symbolically represent opposites such as mind and body, analog and digital, realism and idealism, terrestrial and the transcendent.

Catbird - Dead Bird Still Life, Original Oil Painting on Panel
By Tina Figarelli
Located in Chicago, IL
Depictions of dead birds have a long and rich history in Western Art having been used as a subject matter by artists from Albrecht Durer to Pablo Picasso. The Golden Age of Dutch Painting brought an iconic rise to still-life painting. Much like decadent, ripe fruit and extravagant, sumptuous floral arrangements, these taxadermied birds were transformed into stunning examinations of color, light and texture. Here, artist Tina Figarelli...
