Angela West
Sweet Sixteen #13

2000

About the Item

Lovely large portrait of a teenage girl seated in orange prom dress, titled "Sweet Sixteen #13". Chromogenic dye coupler print on paper. Limited Edition #1/16. Print is offered framed. Print size: 20 x 16 inches Frame size: 27 x 23 inches Angela West's "Sweet 16" series is a collection of portraits taken in Dahlonega, Georgia and based on a photograph of the artist herself at 16 years old. The subjects were neither instructed nor prompted beyond the notion that they were having a "formal" portrait made. Using the conventions of the studio, Ms. West creates portraits that allude to society painting, but with one social class of subjects standing in for another. The purpose of photographic portraiture is to document an appearance on a particular day, or at a certain age. These portraits underscore an expectation of beauty particular to the South, while decoding "16" as a universal female condition. The young girls' dress, makeup, and posture provide subtle references to personality and social status while also capturing the process of "becoming" - either in their masquerade of proper feminine behavior or quietly defying the social demand of civilized femininity. teenager, prom, portrait photography, color photography, figurative photography, contemporary photography, limited edition, orange, female portrait, girl portrait

Love Wins - Rainbow glass pill sculpture
By Edie Nadelhaft
Located in East Quogue, NY
Limited edition rainbow colored glass pill sculpture. Edition of 9. Signed and numbered on the back by the artist. The piece is equipped with a D-ring on the back for easy hanging. "Love Wins" is part of Edie Nadelhaft's "Better Living Thru Chemistry: Luv is the Drug" sculpture series consisting of candy-colored glass and mixed media capsule-shaped objects. Each pill is festooned with text messages, social media iconography and the language of pop psychology. Inspired in equal parts by the ubiquitous presence of social media in contemporary culture and the simultaneous rise of direct - to - consumer pharmaceutical marketing. The work pokes fun at the alternately amusing and depressing correlations between the two phenomena as both are enlisted to oversimplify the human condition and expedite contentment through a familiar cocktail of instant gratification and seductive packaging. Edie Nadelhaft is a New York-based painter and mixed media artist whose work has been widely exhibited at museums, art fairs and galleries. She studied painting and art history at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and S.U.N.Y. Purchase. She received her BFA with Honors from The Massachusetts College of Art & Design.

May 27 (8.59pm) - Road landscape painting
By Edie Nadelhaft
Located in East Quogue, NY
Landscape painting, evening road scene titled "May 27 (8.59pm)" by Edie Nadelhaft - oil on canvas, 36 x 48 inches Edie Nadelhaft's paintings focus on the visual nuances and psychological ambiguity of twilight. No people are pictured, but each composition preserves some residue of the human presence, depicting desolate stretches of rural highway, some capped by an apocalyptic canopy of clouds. Rendered in a manner best described as Perceptual Realism, Nadelhaft draws the viewer into the scene, showing just as much - or as little - sharp detail as a human eye can process in person. The point of view and style of painting takes into account the fleeting nature of impressions, especially those formed while driving in low light on unfamiliar roads. In some scenes, light is greatly diminished, but it is not quite dark enough to reap the full benefit of headlights. Buildings, trees and power lines appear and disappear in a murky, shimmering haze; nighttime is fluid, rife with intrigue and for some, even dread. But the dark can also provide a portal to the imagination, opening up new possibilities and potential. And for the artist, it brings an overwhelming sense of wonder and relief. The night - especially traveling at night - offers protection, a respite, like a spell that conjures a brief suspension of responsibility and time as one hurtles through space fully enveloped in the totality of that experience.
