Artist Comments
I have a succulent in a ceramic sugar skull pot in my kitchen and painted it from life. It has a wonderful expression on its face, and I enjoy the spikey succulent growing from the top like hair.

Gérard Cambon was born in 1960 in Toulouse (Fr). He has a degree in political science and is a self-taught artist. In the earlier years of his life practiced and experimented with collage and model making. Later, with an interest in old machines and patinas he started collecting old and used objects, tools, and fragments of items whose previous lives remained obvious. When he travels, one of his greatest pleasures is to find materials in antique shops or ironmongeries. In 1994, he began creating Locomobiles and reliefs and presented them to the public for the first time at “La Jeune Peinture,” a Parisian art fair. In 1995 , he stayed during 8 months in the hospital for eight months (leukaemia) where he began preparing and creating plans for new Locomobiles and reliefs. As his health improved, he committed himself to his artwork and during the same year met a Parisian gallery owner who decided to organize a solo show for him, Le Galerie Beatrice Soulie in Saint Germain des Pres. He has shown his work since 1996 in Paris and since 2000 in the United States (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle). He is currently being shown by galleries in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg , Denmark, and the United States. He keeps on trying out new materials (fabric, leather, glass, plants, metals,…) that he integrates into his bas-reliefs: traction engines...

Julien Nemethy (b. 1948) New Orleans Packet – Eclipse, 1999 Oil on canvas Sight: 22 x 28 in.; Frame: 26 x 32 in. Julien Nemethy’s New Orleans Packet – Eclipse is a richly detailed and atmospheric tribute to the golden age of American river travel, rendered with the artist’s characteristic precision and historical sensitivity. Set against a softly illuminated shoreline, the steamboat Eclipse emerges as both a technological marvel and a cultural emblem, its tiered decks, plume of smoke, and bustling activity captured with documentary clarity. Nemethy’s controlled palette—warm umbers, riverine blues, and the glow of late‑day light—infuses the composition with a sense of nostalgia, transforming the vessel into a symbol of movement, commerce, and the romance of the Mississippi. A superb example of the artist’s mature work, the painting demonstrates his ability to merge narrative realism with painterly refinement, offering a scene that is at once historically grounded and visually compelling. Provenance: Private collection, United States. Condition: The canvas presents in excellent overall condition with strong surface integrity and no visible restoration under normal viewing. Notes: Nemethy’s riverboat...
