Liudmila Kondakova
28 Boulangerie

2001

About the Item

28 Boulangierie is a serigraph on paper with an image size of 18 x 24", signed ‘Kondakova’ lower right and numbered lower left. From the edition of 500, and numbered 66/200 (there were also 50 Roman and deluxe edition of 250 on canvas). Framed in a classic, gold-tone moulding. During her training at the icon painting workshop in St. Alexis Cathedral in Moscow, Liudmila Kondakova was taught that beauty is in the detail, and detail is almighty. As part of this education, she learned the different exercises that helped form the basis of her exquisite technical skill, learning such techniques as developing a very straight line with a very fine brush ("You are taught special breathing exercises to do this ... "). This instruction, combined with the spiritual guidance of the monks, instilled in the young artist a sense that the art is sacred, and the act of painting is an extension of the contemplative life. 28 Boulangerie is a stunning example of the kind of detail and clarity for which she is now known. Her beloved city of Paris is the subject matter, but instead of a grand and sweeping vista of a skyline or famous monument, she shows us the everyday beauty to be found in a single shop. The vivid colors and incredible detail made possible by the intimate scale of the painting bring the little bakery shop to life with almost three-dimensional clarity. Every element, from the finely-lettered advertisements to the reflection in the window of the shops across the street, is carefully detailed. The gritty realism of the graffiti on the pockmarked walls, in contrast with a more romantic image such as that beloved icon of French life, the baguette, combine to illustrate the city Kondakova loves; not perfect, but vibrant and alive. Martin Lawrence Galleries is an affiliate of Liudmila Kondakova's publisher, Chalk & Vermilion Fine Arts. This print is as new, with no prior ownership, coming straight from the publisher.

Brigitte Bardot, mixed media large glamorous unique screen print, black sparkle
By Rosie Emerson
Located in Dallas, TX
Brigitte Bardot Large edition Charcoal and black glitter Screen print on 300 gsm Somerset Satin Paper Edition of 10 Price is for unframed, we are happy to coordinate framing for this piece at an extra cost. This new larger ‘Sparkle edition’ Brigitte Bardot is limited to just 10 and will create an impact on any wall. Originally released as a smaller print, it was dubbed ‘Beautiful, original and certainly collectable’ in the Sunday Times Style Magazine ‘, and was an instant sell out. The print features Emerson’s signature elongated figure combined with a delicate textural surface, which combines a unique black glitter and charcoal powder finish. Rosie Emerson, born in 1981, is a contemporary artist working almost exclusively on representing the female form. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, from Artemis to the modern day super model, each solitary figure, an allegory of her own fantasy. Interested in surface, the interplay between photography and painting. Emerson’s works are playful constructs; Photography is used, not as a device for capturing reality but for creating romanticised optical illusions. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance, shrines and rituals, she uses lighting, costume, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create other worldly one off pieces. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings, Japanese prints, and magical realist literature. Emerson’s work is widely collected and exhibited both in the UK as well as internationally, through galleries, art fairs and museums. She has also worked with brands and individuals including Harvey Nichols, The Ivy Club, Sony, Triumph Underwear, Redbull, P&O Cruises, and Annoushka jewelry...
