About the Item
Tony Scherman (1950-2023) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. He is renowned internationally for his work in encaustic (a mix of wax and oil, one of the most difficult mediums to work in).
Scherman frequently alludes to the grandeur of past centuries, both in his subject matter and by his choice of painting with encaustic. The artist is continuing a tradition, of working with this material, that has been propelled through art history by a diverse number of canonical artists including Pieter Claesz, Caravaggio, and Cézanne.
Still lifes are one of Scherman's signature motifs. He has repeatedly depicted them on canvas, on paper, and in graphics.
This luminous depiction of a fruit and flower arrangement serves as a fantastic example of Scherman's signature aesthetic and technique. Through rich, textured layers of brushwork and delicate licks of color, Scherman expertly depicts a group of downward-facing peonies and a trio of oranges, illuminated by a single and direct light source.
Like this piece, many of Scherman's works from the turn of the millennium have this strikingly dark background, evocative of chiaroscuro.
Scherman’s work can be found in nearly every public collection in Canada, as well as many international museums including LACMA (Los Angeles) and Centre Pompidou (Paris)

Pink Tulip
By Charles Pachter
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Charles Pachter (b. 1942) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. His iconic, uplifting, and patriotic images have earned their place in the nation's museums and the Canadian art canon.
The Barn, along with Queen Elizabeth and the Moose, forms a triad of icons that Charles Pachter has repeatedly visited over the course of his career.
Completed in 2021, this exemplary painting introduces Pachter's flowers. This recent series focuses on an entirely new subject for the artist that started early on in the pandemic. Realized in a time of uncertainty and despair, this body of work is remarkably optimistic.
As with the best of his work, Pachter's charming imagery presents a new narrative on Canadiana, this time detailing the diverse flora encountered in his close surroundings.

By Charles Pachter
Located in Toronto, Ontario
Charles Pachter (b. 1942) is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. His iconic, uplifting, and patriotic images have independently earned their place in the nation's museums and the Canadian art canon.
The Barn, along with Queen Elizabeth and the Moose, forms a triad of icons that Charles Pachter has repeatedly visited over the course of his career.
Playful and a touch irreverent, Pachter's charming imagery presents a new narrative on Canadiana. The artist’s vast body of work includes painting, sculpture, printmaking, and drawing. Pachter’s works are widely sought-after and are an ideal selection for starting or continuing a collection of 20th-century Canadian art.
Pachter's confident colors, sharp lines, and graphic qualities are instantly recognizable and continue to be a mainstay throughout his oeuvre.
Completed in 2021, this exemplary painting introduces Pachter's flowers, a brand new subject for the artist that inspired a series of work early on in the pandemic. Realized in a time of uncertainty and despair, this tranquil piece is remarkably optimistic.
Featuring a rose in full bloom, Pachter captures the center of the flower and depicts its alluring, outward expression in this fragrant piece. His characteristically bold, unmodulated colors flood the background of the canvas, maintaining his distinct graphic style in this otherwise supple composition.
This piece serves as a striking example of Pachter's signature aesthetic, this time achieved through a fresh and entirely new subject.
Pachter's work is represented in both public and private collections across Canada including the Art Gallery of Ontario, The Portrait Gallery of Canada, The Royal Ontario Museum, and the McMichael Gallery. In recognition of his outstanding achievements, Pachter holds the prestigious position of Officer of the Order of Canada and is also a recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee medal.

California Contemporary Art Marti Somers Figurative Abstract Whimsical Painting
Located in Surfside, FL
Marti Somers
Rice Bowl (an Asian inspired image with chopsticks and a bowl of rice) with fish. hand written poem verso.
24 X 24 inches
A California artist, Somers received her BFA at the University of Hawaii. She returned to California
and worked as a graphic designer at Stanford University and was a principal at Artefact Design in
Palo Alto. But ultimately turned to painting. She opened Studio Believe in San Carlos and co-founded Somersault Studios, a non-profit publishing venture to benefit the arts of Northern California.
Somers’ sensibility is both poetic and suggestive. Her scrapbook-like merger of natural images (both painted and collage) and writing, rendered in tactile, fragrant wax-based encaustic paint, is seductive and convincing. Rich compilations of vintage images, words, colors, and textures. Flowers, trees, and leaves share the space in each picture with animals, fragments of patterned paper, layers of thin oil paint over thick, glazes that partially obscure one layer and provide a new layer to work with. Stylized flowers, butterflies and birds appear prominently within Somers’ heavily textured, ‘antiqued’ bands of color and pattern. Robert Rauschenberg meets Odilon Redon in her assemblage juxtapositions of dreamy words and images. She has exhibited her work at Caldwell Snyder...
