Gordon House
The Guardian wrote of Gordon House, upon his death in 2004: Many of the works made during his last years by the painter and graphic designer Gordon House, who has died aged 71, referred back to his birthplace in the Swansea valley. He spent his earliest years in the steel town of Pontardawe. In Tin-pan Valley, the memoir he published earlier this year, he recalled "the clamour of steel mills ... the tinplate works and pithead gear" and "dynamite blasting as coal seams were struck higher up the valley". Unemployment and the depression of the 1930s led Gordon's parents to take him from the valleys of south Wales to the order and designed coherence of Letchworth, "Hertfordshire's first garden city". After leaving school at 14, he went to study, first, at Luton School of Art. For a while after that, he worked in a hospital, before, with the aid of a scholarship, moving on to St Albans School of Art. By 1961, Gordon had become established among a new generation of artists as an independently minded and adventurous painter and designer. The previous year, he had shown his large, bold, hard-edged canvasses at the important London "Situation" exhibition of large-scale abstract painting, and had designed the catalogue for that exhibition. As the 1960s moved on, Gordon designed for the pop world. He worked for the Beatles, designing their White album and the back of the Sergeant Pepper album, for which his longtime friend Peter Blake designed the front. Later, he designed Wings' first album. He delighted in the creative energy of others, and so could respond to the talents of musicians and artists alike. Gordon made paintings throughout his life as a designer. During the 1960s and 70s, his canvasses and prints reflected the dramatic tensions of his graphic design; by the 1980s, Wales had become his constant subject matter. The surface, texture and colour of his paintings softened. No doubt, he needed to pay homage to the places and the people who had shaped him, just as he always paid homage to the artists for whom he designed. His canvasses reduced in size, becoming palm-of-the-hand landscapes. He spent much time in Wales and, in his final years, he used his brush to walk a path through memories of collieries, valleys, smoking stacks, rows of cottages and the people who had first nurtured him.

CORBAN WALKER
Dublin, Ireland, b. 1967
Corban Walker is an artist known for his investigations of perceptions of scale and architectural constructs.
Standing four-feet tall, the artist’s personal relationship between self and the built environment is fundamental to the way he defines and develops his work. Embracing concepts of both architecture and minimalism, Walker uses specific local and cultural philosophies to encourage viewers to reexamine the way they conceptualize, navigate, and interact with their surroundings.
The artist’s work is marked by carefully considered shifts in proportion and balance and is also distinguished by a diverse use of materials and media ranging from painting, drawing, photography, digital art, and sculpture to large-scale and site-specific installations.

Abstract Color Field Red Purple Gradient Aquatint Etching California Minimalism

"Voices VI (A)"
Aquatint Etching •
Image: 12”x 14” • Paper: 30”x 22” • 2001
Hand signed and numbered 1/2 on BFK Rives paper.
Joe Novak (1930-2019) California Contemporary Minimalist. His work is about the exploration of color and light through abstraction, with tonal gradations that infuse them with a meditative quality. During the eighties and nineties, he painted large monochromatic color field canvases with tonal gradations and soft edges that infuse them with a meditative quality and a sense of movement. When illuminated they become glowing surfaces of color and light. His artistic background and work link him closely with the first generation abstract expressionists of the New York School. Major influences include Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, and his mentors, Peter Busa and Esteban Vicente, whom he met and befriended during the eighties while living and painting in East Hampton. During the nineties, while living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Novak initiated a project called "Light Emanations", in which he created digital computerized programs of changing light levels and configurations on a selection of his large paintings, dramatically illustrating the effect of light changes on color perception. Novak's body of work is extensive and include painting on canvas, panel and paper as well as monotypes, drawings, assemblages, mixed media and prints. He has often worked in series, focusing on a particular medium for years. Among these are "Meditations" (color pencil drawings), "Voices" and "Voices 2" (color aquatint etchings), "Echoes" (painting assemblage with minerals) and "Colors" (350 miniature panel paintings). In recent years his paintings have become more gestural, often with musical allusions. His work bears a relationship to the Light & Space Movement and Minimalism artists James Turrell, Larry Bell, Craig Kauffman, Billy Al Bengston, Peter Alexander, Laddie John Dill, Lita Albuquerque. these are also anticipative of the aquatint etching works by Anish Kapoor. Color Gradient, Abstract Art, Land Art. During the eighties and nineties, he painted large monochromatic color field canvases with tonal gradations and soft edges that infuse them with a meditative quality and a sense of movement. When illuminated they become
glowing surfaces of color and light. Critic Christopher Knight wrote, Novak is an unabashed Color Field painter. His paintings and aquatints at Bert Green Fine Arts — the Santa Fe artist's third show there — feature works that will call to mind abstractions as diverse as those by Helen Frankenthaler, Mark Rothko and Morris Louis and the landscape abstractions of Joe Goode. Novak's work is in many public and private collections, including numerous museum collections. He spent his last years living in Palm Springs.
