The Memphis group's work often incorporated plastic laminate and was characterized by ephemeral design featuring colorful and abstract decoration as well as asymmetrical shapes, sometimes arbitrarily alluding to exotic or earlier styles. They drew inspiration from such movements as Art Deco and Pop Art, including styles such as the 1950s Kitsch and futuristic themes. Other members included Martine Bedin Michael Graves, Javier Mariscal, Nathalie du Pasquier, Matteo Thun and Marco Zanuso. Further reading A Neglected History: 20th Century American Craft.

Title Richard Turner Arcadian Figures Landscape Temple Scene Oil Painting Key Details Artist: Richard Turner (British, 1940–2013) Medium: Oil on canvas Size: 40 x 60 inches Provenance: Not specified Condition: Very good condition Signature / Inscription: Signed, titled, and dated verso (2009) Description A large-scale figurative composition set within a stylised Arcadian landscape, where four women are arranged across a richly imagined terrain of water, trees, and distant architecture. Two reclining figures dominate the foreground, their forms simplified and outlined, while others stand further back, one holding a vessel. A small lamb rests quietly at their side, adding a gentle narrative detail. The palette is warm and saturated, with deep greens, ochres, and reds balanced by cooler blues and softened evening tones. The scale gives the painting a strong presence, making it well suited to a main living space, dining room, or larger bedroom where it can sit comfortably as a focal point. Its colour and composition lend themselves to interiors that favour art as a central element, particularly where there is space to allow the work to be viewed at a distance. The subject brings both structure and atmosphere, without feeling overly formal. Turner’s work often draws on classical and Renaissance influences, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. This painting reflects that approach, blending figurative clarity with a more stylised, almost theatrical setting. It sits comfortably within a collection that values narrative, composition, and a slightly unconventional take on traditional themes. Artist Note Richard Turner studied at the Royal College of Art under Carol Weight...

Robert Azensky Fine Art is proud to offer this vintage figurative abstract of a Woman, Dog & Spring Flowers with Petroglyphs by Martha’s Vineyard artist Cindy Kane Absolutely stunning vintage large scale abstract expressionist painting titled "Bending Forward," by San Francisco and now Martha's Vineyard artist Cindy Kane (American, b. 1957). This unique monumental piece, created in 1987, has a netherworld primal quality depicting a petroglyph-like blonde woman and her animal spirit dog bending toward a flower-strewn earth. Additional petroglyph vignettes add mystery to narrative. Signed and dated "Kane '87" upper right. Unframed. Image size: 66.5"H x 84"W. Her early works were influenced by her memories of these hieroglyphs, and embellished with symbols from her dreams. “I hope [that viewers] get what I get from my work, which is enjoyment, visual satisfaction, and a story — whatever their own story is,” she said. “I can’t give them one, but I can tell my own, and the story they take with them is something personal.” Her early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings. These images would inform her work for years to come. While working in Grand Canyon National Park, she became familiar with the Anasazi Indian ruins...
