About the Item
"Renee's Breakfast" depicts a simple image of three eggs on a plate with bacon, a breakfast so familiar to many, and serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time and the transience of even the most ordinary moments. Just as the morning sun rises and sets, casting shifting shadows and changing the hues of the yolks, so does life move forward, never standing still. The sizzling bacon mirrors life's moments, fleeting and ephemeral, yet leaving behind a savory residue of memories. In this seemingly mundane tableau, we find an allegory for the ceaseless march of time, urging us to savor each bite, each moment, for they are as precious as the breakfast on our plate.
John Kato is a distinguished artist with a passion for printmaking that has taken him on a journey blending traditional techniques with a modern artistic vision. His dedication to this craft has led to the creation of captivating and intricate imagery that pays homage to the masters while incorporating contemporary elements.
Kato's artistic journey began with a deep immersion in the world of printmaking. He honed his craft under the mentorship of internationally renowned printmakers Romano and Ross in Venice, Italy. Their guidance laid the foundation for John's artistic vision and commitment to the art of printmaking.
John's expertise lies in the intricate world of printmaking.

John's artistic style draws inspiration from the iconic Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, renowned for his woodblock print series, "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji." John's work echoes the delicate beauty, precision, and detail found in Hokusai's prints. However, he takes these influences and infuses them with a modern twist, resulting in artwork that is both reminiscent of the past and firmly anchored in the present.
John's artwork showcases a rich tapestry of themes and imagery. His creations often feature elements from nature, evoking a sense of harmony and wonder. Yet, he masterfully weaves in contemporary elements, creating a bridge between the past and the future. His pieces are a celebration of intricate details, and intricate patterns, and an exploration of the interplay between tradition and innovation.

"abstract NINETEEN", Multicolor Blue Green Pink Red Painting by Aaron A. Young
Located in Brooklyn, NY
abstract NINETEEN
Acrylic and collage on canvas
2018
36x48
Abstract NINETEEN NINETEEN is one of the largest paintings of this ever growing body of work by Aaron A. Young. Referencing the work of Sam Francis, Frankenthaller and deKooning, the abstract color fields and interrupted lines are meant to draw the viewer into the piece to find an ever evolving composition. Using a continuously changing palate of colors and a multitude of layers of paint and collage, the work conveys texture and weight derived from obliterating some details of the past while accentuating others. With this, the process of the piece is preserved, creating almost an archeological experience for the viewer; discovering details the deeper you look. Hard edges meet soft, spontaneous and organic drips of paint overlap with meticulously created linework. The typography of old newspaper is hidden, yet also framed, by brushstrokes making windows into the inner layers of the work. There is always something to discover.

Toust - original realism still life painting - contemporary Art
Located in London, Chelsea
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Luxurious and indulgent, Toust transforms a familiar comfort food into a monument of sensuous abundance. Heinz Schönhammer’s oil on canvas depicts a lavish croque madame in glorious exaggeration—cheese cascading in molten waves, yolk gleaming like a jewel, and soft pink ham folding between slices of golden, toasted bread. Every element appears touchable, edible, larger than life.
The painting plays with scale and desire, inviting the viewer to revel in excess. Shadows and highlights are used sculpturally, turning cheese into silk and bread into velvet. The saturated palette of creams, golds, and blues lends the work both warmth and richness, making the composition feel both hyperreal and dreamlike.
Toust is not simply a depiction of food—it’s an invitation to indulge in visual pleasure. Schönhammer elevates the mundane to the magnificent, with every drip, ooze, and fold rendered in delicious detail. This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
