About the Item

Whimsical and vivacious limited editions screen-print on paper depicting a smiling nude figure lounging on a beach next to a fantastical orange and purple striped iguana, with volcanos erupting in the distance and several airplanes flying through the night sky by Phoebe Cole Gordon (American, 1955-2017). Titled and signed lower right "8/60 Blue Lagoon Phoebe Cole." Presented in a silver metal frame and plexiglass. Image, 21"H x 29"L. Phoebe Cole Gordon was born in Eugene, Oregon in 1955 and soon went on to get her Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking at Oregon University. In 1981, following her completion, Gordon produced multicolored linoleum cuts and sold them to galleries around the United States. Gordon's prints were exhibited widely during the 1980s and 1990s, and soon after, she moved on from printmaking to creating papier-mâché altarpieces and dioramas, which were featured in two solo exhibitions in San Francisco in 1990 and 1993. From 2008, she created ceramic sculptures, acknowledging the influence of Mexican folk art and making Day of the Dead pieces. Her works are held in the collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, and the Portland Art Museum. Phoebe Cole's artwork has also been published and displayed in: -The Eugene Guard, 1963 -Coos Art Museum, 1981 -Corvallis Arts Center, 1984 -Lawrence Gallery, 1984,1986 -Statesman Journal, 1993 -Oregon Bach Festival

Figures on the Beach with Sculpture, Contemporary Surreal Figural Landscape
By Michael Pauker
Located in Soquel, CA
Dark storm clouds loom over a surreal, desolate beach landscape, which is populated by several male figures in different states of being, in this contemplative symbolic contemporary painting by Bay Area artist Michael Pauker (American, b.1957), circa 2013-2014. In the left foreground we see part of a bearded man's face, as if witnessing this scene with the viewer. Next a male figure in bright red bathing suit faces the ocean, his back to the viewer, while a more distant nude male at three quarter view points down at something in the sand. Finally, on the right appears the bearded man as a classical sculpture bust on a pedestal...
