About the Item
Photorealistic still life street scene that features an American flag and resist sticker in the window of a home. Brown with red, white and blue. The street numbers are 8102 (2018 in reverse). A sign of the times. 'Mark of Zorro' features a "Z" in shadow, and the title conjures images of contemporary heroes and heroines that are every-day common citizens, as in the legend of Zorro, where a commoner stood for justice in a fight against immorality. 24 x 24 inch painting is impeccably painted by Lynette Cook, whose contemporary acrylic paintings glimpse places near her San Francisco home. The series captures buildings and places around San Francisco and other Northern California towns which convey the stories of their inhabitants. Exterior facades of urban dwellings that are both architecturally complex — and mundane — are the focus of Cook’s Shadows and Silhouettes series. The paintings feature the rhythmic dark-light dance of light traveling through wrought-iron balconies and inner-city fire escapes, as well as shadows cast from clean laundry hanging out to dry. The work captures that which is universal and connects all people in their elemental desire to create a sense of home.
This important series that was exhibited at California’s Morris Graves Museum in 2016. In the same year, the artist was awarded a prestigious Jackson Pollock-Krasner Foundation honorary grant.

Lynette Cook
Lynette Cook realistically depicts scenes that she sees during her morning walks through the city, yet her paintings tend to reveal more than what initially meets the eye. Cook's important architectural series, Shadows and Silhouettes was exhibited at California’s Morris Graves Museum of Art in 2016. This series focuses on the exterior facades of urban dwellings that are both architecturally complex and mundane. In the same year, the artist was awarded a prestigious Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner Foundation honorary grant. Her work has been exhibited at the Peninsula Museum of Art in California in early 2020.

Stephanie Serpick, Interior Visions 8, 2023, Oil On Panel, Realism
By Stephanie Serpick
Located in Darien, CT
Intimate paintings represented by unmade beds and tossed sheets, absent of any human evidence, on intentionally blank, somewhat rough backgrounds. The empty bed in these paintings represents a place for grief, isolation or healing. As such, the work speaks to our shared feeling of grief, with the understanding that while we all suffer in our individual ways, suffering is universal.
Source material for this work are photographs the artist has both taken and found, and the intimate size of the paintings references the intimate nature of the subject matter. The backgrounds of the paintings are repeatedly painted and sanded, to create a frame and backdrop for the bedding that is flat, yet rough with work and time. The bedding itself is seen from different perspectives, but still indicates a scene of desolation and despair.
While the series began in the fall of 2016, recent events—including the pandemic—have provided a new dimension to the work and have compelled Serpick to consider the themes in light of these events. Our forced isolation and the challenges it has brought to our physical and mental health provides an additional shared experience from which to consider grief and eventual healing.
