About the Item

Zane York coaxes and cajoles with a bit of humor which belies a deeper sensitivity. His eye-catching subjects never fail to cause a double-take. In our age of nearly constant visual stimuli and sensationalism, York musters astonishment, fascination and draws us deeper to notice subtleties which appear hidden to the glance but fully revealed to those who really see. York’s finely detailed renderings take deliberate liberties with reality by magnifying the everyday —a cat, a flower, an insect, dentures— and in the process, convince us that his quirky and bizarre juxtapositions are invitations to lose oneself in the infiniteness of the human condition. York’s aesthetic rigor shows the possibilities of a new perspective and paves a way for greater freedom.

Wreath: ROME / olympian gold - oil painting
By Stephanie Peek
Located in Burlingame, CA
Wreath: ROME from artist Stephenie Peek who makes her home in California, is beautifully rendered with a sense of depth, intellect, timelessness and beauty. Inspired by a time the artist spent in Italy and found herself strongly drawn to the history and mystery of antique Roman laurels. Here, the golden wreath appears to float above the clouds in a surrealist, Magritte-like sky. The clear blue has an ethereal quality with glimmering gold. The painting's edges are painted white, so framing is not required. If framing is desired, we can provide it for an additional cost. Signed, dated and titled verso by artist: Artist's statement— The genesis of this oil painting, “Wreath,” is the classic laurel wreath fashioned in gold and awarded to victors, both athletic and poetic, in ancient Greece and Rome. From my studio at the American Academy in Rome, I looked out over the city and imagined these memorials to those who have crossed finish lines, so to speak, who have won their races. Suspended in silence, this wreath speaks for me not only of wordly success with its ephemeral nature, but also of a kind of lasting victory that art can remind us of. "Ars longa...

Anna in My Studio - Portrait of a Woman, Original Oil Painting on Panel, Framed
Located in Chicago, IL
A casual pose, Anna gazes out toward the viewer, inviting them in for a closer look. Artist Zack Zdrale takes a traditional approach to his work although his subjects and compositions place his work in the present. His paintings are imbued with a stillness and silence for the viewer to infuse meaning. The figure, with her piercing blue eyes, takes a traditional position yet brings a casualness to the piece by her dress and the unfinished works hanging in the background. It captures an intimate moment of solitude. This artwork is framed. The painting is framed in a simple black frame with a small antiqued...
