Stephanie Peek
Soft Light / a realist oil painting celebrating natures abstract qualities

2005

About the Item

'Soft Light' from Stephanie Peek, who makes her home in California, is beautifully rendered with a sense of depth, intellect, timelessness, and mystery. An elegant painting referencing dried eucalyptus leaves that the artist piled up in her studio and studied under a variety of natural and man-made lights and times of day/evening. oil on panel with natural alabaster ground into the pigments. Peek has floated tulips, roses and other flowers and leaves from 17th century still life paintings through the dark smoky atmosphere of her paintings of night gardens. The dramatic light and rich colors refer to the work of Dutch painter Rachel Ruysch. The softer, lighter paintings reflect the melancholy of early 18th century French painter Jean Antoine Watteau. Suspended in silence, flowers and leaves speak of fragile beauty and the ephemeral nature of worldly delights. The original oil on panel painting is 20 x 20 inches. Artist signed, dated and titled verso. The painting is wired and ready to hang and enjoy.

  • Little Blue Houses - Oil Still Life Landscape with Rural and Urban Symbolism
    By Mark Bowers
    Located in Chicago, IL
    Mark Bowers- Artist Statement With the depiction of landscape playing such a central role in the history of North American art, it seemed to offer many of the critical possibilities I was looking for, and it felt more and more like something I have always known. Something I could easily apply, stage, and manipulate as a diary. My work consists of small-scale highly detailed landscape paintings. They are inspired by the comfort, trepidation, and beauty found in the mundane Chicago Suburbs. I combine nature, decorative house wares, municipal structures, and personal artifacts to hint at current life and future implications in the orchestration of these elements. Each work in the series is a portrait of a search for markers on a journey, an attempt to learn from what is palpable and to appreciate the intangible. The paintings are meant to suggest the truth in the un-idealized moment--the actual truth only exists off the edges of my canvas, off stage, and in the experience of the viewer. Painting the objects in these compositions is like positioning characters on stage in a play, each adding to the dramatization Mark Bowers Little Blue Houses oil on panel 15h x 30w in 38.10h x 76.20w cm MJB008 Mark Bowers b. 1977 St. Joseph, MI Exhibitions 2013 American Painting Today: Physical and Visceral, Krasl Art Center, St. Joseph, MI 2012 Fort Wayne Art Museum, Contemporary Realism Biennial, Fort Wayne, IN Rockford Art Museum Midwestern Biennial, Rockford, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2009 Art Chicago, Represented by Ann Nathan Gallery, Merchandise Mart, Chicago, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2007 Beverly Arts Center Biennial, Chicago, IL Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2005 Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL 2003 Ann Brierly Gallery, Winnetka, IL Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, RI 2001 The Box Factory Gallery, St. Joseph, MI 2000 John G.

  • Brooklyn Through the Trees: Modern, Realist New York City Landscape Painting
    By Patty Neal
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Realist New York City landscape painting as seen through the branches of a dark green tree “Brooklyn Through Trees”, painted by Patty Neal in 2019 18" X 24" oil on panel Ready to hang as is Signed lower right with initials P.N. This contemporary oil painting depicting a metropolitan New York City scene is the work of realist painter Patty Neal. The painting offers a view of Brooklyn from behind the beautiful branches of a tree. The dark browns and greens of the tree provides interesting contrast to the sunlit city peeking through. Neal’s work highlights everyday city scenes, utilitarian infrastructure, and industrial or electrical apparatus. The painting is currently unframed and ready to hang. Artist statement: A life is an accumulation of experiences: visual, emotional and mental. By compartmentalizing these snippets of life we create boundaries. The focus of my work for many years has been the exploration of these various life aspects and how they are bound together or bound from each other. My process is often literally composed of boundaries. I make a painting by putting together multiple panels, or I segment a single panel into separate visual spaces. The works are made up of pieces or elements of city and landscape. While exploring the concepts of boundaries I play with visual “reality.” Sometimes I combine images that are upside down with those that are not and juxtapose images from different contexts. Literal boundaries, such as walls fences, expanses of water and highway median strips are also used. My intent is to invite viewers to look beyond these boundaries to see the possibilities of a connected whole.
