Having spent many years as a photographer, Matt Condron is trained to recognize the importance of a moment or the preciousness of a fleeting opportunity. He is captivated by the idea of emptiness, as both a suggestion of solitude and as a state rife with the possibility of change and fulfillment. As a painter, he seeks out familiar, evocative scenes and concentrates on capturing the stillness of an empty room or vacant chair. His paintings can be seen as solitary, or as simply aberrant pauses between moments of frantic activity. The works are imbued with a quality of light that brings simple, content-rich objects into sharp focus.

By choosing places that seem to have been abruptly vacated, he attempts to awaken a connection to the moment before, or to the quietude he preserves inside himself in the form of memories. Matt Condron was born in 1967 in Simi Valley...

This elegant and rare still life of red roses is by one of America's finest still life artists. It is framed in a fine Empire style 24 karat gilded and carved frame. Roses in a Copper Bowl represents the pinnacle of still life painting as Carlsen has described it above. Before painting marine landscapes, Carlsen was first known as one of the finest still-life painters of his era. Painted in 1893 during Carlsen’s period in New York, this canvas also draws comparisons to the work of John LaFarge, John White Alexander...
