Mario (Grin), 2018, Ink and pencil on paper, black and white, by Shelter Serra

Mario (Grin) 2018 16”x16.5”x1.25” inches Sumi ink and pencil on Japanese Washi Paper Mario, the main character from the Super Mario Bros. video game is one of the most recognizable images and a true archetype of our contemporary society. This traditional hand-drawn portrait of Mario in ink on paper, renders his likeness akin to a snapshot, or cell, removing him from the digital realm and freezing him in our tangible world of reality. Shelter Serra’s paintings, sculptures, and drawings explore mass consumption and cultural identity. He juxtaposes subject matters that are both common and recognizable: a Campbell's Soup Can, a copper plated baseball hat, and a Hermes Birkin bag...

Guy Péne du Bois Oil on Canvas Painting of the French Gardener, Dated 1929
Located in New York, NY
Guy Pène du Bois, 1884 - 1958 French Gardener, 1929 Oil on canvas Signed and inscribed: Pere Martin/Guy Pène du Bois/1929 Provenance: The Estate of Guy Pène du Bois Below is an excerpt from Guy Péne du Bois diary titled 'Artists Say the Silliest Things': “Our landlord and gardener, Pere Martin, who owned a considerable amount of land thereabouts, had been a butcher in the Batignolles section of Paris during the war. [WWI]. He was called hard and miserly in the neighborhood, a too shrewd bargainer, but he accepted two francs and hour, then eight cents in our money, to work the garden. He could be shrewd. When Kellogg was signing the peace pact in Paris, a sham battle of aeroplanes clouded the sky above us. Old Pere Martin rested on his hoe and pointed up, shrugging his shoulders with clownish exaggeration, ‘Monsieur Kellogg.’ It typified the talk on war of the countryside. During the last one he had delivered a magnificent pot au feu...

The blind man, oil on canvas by Maurice Langaskens
By Maurice Langaskens
Located in Gent, VOV
A masterfully painted scene originating from the artist's studio In this painting, Langaskens brings together several motifs that were also the subject of his graphic work: the blind man, the priest, the nun and the farm that also appears in the famous etching "les toits rouges" (the red roofs). These elements are brought together in a dynamic and colourful composition, where the similarities to that other Belgian painter, Anto Carte, are striking. Combining these elements in this way creates a certain tension. Is the work about mercy (helping a blind man), or are we spectators of a scene where a poor wretch's purse is stolen? Striking is the use of impasto, in which the painter emphasises the texture of fabrics and skin via flowing lines. Maurice Langaskens 1884 - 1946 Biography A Belgian painter and printmaker, Maurice (Maurits) Langaskens enrolled in the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels in 1901, and was trained as a decorative painter by the leading Belgian muralist and sculptor Constant Montald. From early on, Langaskens was recognized as a fine draughtsman, and won several prizes at the Académie. After living and studying for a few months in France in 1906, mainly in Dijon, the young Langaskens settled in Schaerbeek, outside Brussels. He began his independent career in 1907, when he exhibited three decorative paintings at the Salon in Brussels for the first time and also had an exhibition of his work shown at the Salle Boute in the city. The following year he contributed six paintings to the 16th annual exhibition of the Belgian artist’s association ‘Pour l’Art’ in Brussels, where he was to exhibit frequently over the course of his later career, until 1941. (Langaskens also designed the poster for the 17th ‘Pour l’Art’ exhibition in 1909.) Also in 1908, one of his paintings was selected for an exhibition of modern Belgian art in Berlin. Much of Langaskens’s early work was in a vibrant and visually arresting Art Nouveau or Symbolist style. This bold and colourful manner also translated well into large-scale mural commissions, and he soon became one of the leading painter-decorators of the early 20th century in Belgium. His decoration of the town hall of the city of Zoutleeuw in 1912 earned the artist considerable fame and the praise of his teacher and mentor Montald: ‘He was one of the best students in the class; today he is the most outstanding artist among the decorators of our time.’ The same year the first of several exhibitions of Langasken’s work was mounted at the Cercle Artistique et Littéraire in Brussels. The outbreak of the First World War, however, brutally interrupted the rise of the artist’s successful career. Drafted into the Belgian army at the beginning of August 1914, Langaskens was captured by the Germans after less than a fortnight. He spent the next three and half years as a prisoner of war, at internment camps at Sennelager, Münsterlager and Göttingen. He produced numerous, mostly small-scale paintings and watercolours of portraits and depictions of many of his fellow prisoners, as well as scenes of daily camp life, that are today regarded as among his finest and most personal works. It was also during this period that he painted two of his best-known pictures, the large canvas In Memoriam, painted in 1916 and depicting the burial of a Belgian soldier by his comrades, and the monumental triptych Repose en Paix, painted between 1915 and 1918. After his liberation and return to Belgium, Langaskens exhibited over eighty of the paintings and drawings that he had produced as a prisoner of war at the Galerie Sneyers in Brussels in 1918. After the Armistice, Langaskens - suffering from aphasia and nervous disorders brought about by his long confinement - painted mainly easel pictures of winter landscapes, rustic genre scenes and floral subjects, and also produced a number of designs for tapestries, book illustrations and stained-glass windows. Within a few years, however, his health had recovered and he returned to undertaking large-scale decorative mural commissions. In 1920 Langaskens was one of the founders, alongside Montald, Jean Delville, Emile Fabry...

SOCIAL Losas "I"
Located in Natchez, MS
This work is from the artist's SOCIAL series, based on the iconic Cuban magazine of the same name. Conde, uninterested in painting his home town of Havana as it currently is, hearkens back to the heydays of Cuba, time of SOCIAL magazine. Conde has revived SOCIAL magazine, if only in his head, and is creating 240 new covers for the magazine. He will symbolically close the magazine on the date of the revolution. The artist often uses gold, silver and palladium leaf in the works to symbolize the power and wealth which Cuba once possessed. In this work, SOCIAL "I", a stylized woman from a bygone era has plucked the silver I from the word SOCIAL, in the background the pattern is representative of the ever present Cuban tiles.
