Arminée Chahbazian Art

American, b. 1960
Arminée Chahbazian is a Northern California-based visual artist whose practice spans more than four decades and encompasses painting, works on paper, and sculpture. She earned her MFA from Yale University in 1984, following a BA from Scripps College in 1982 and study at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in 1981. Born in Colorado, Chahbazian has lived and worked in Northern California for nearly 30 years, following formative periods in France and the eastern United States. Working across a range of media, Chahbazian approaches her practice through an experimental engagement with the physicality of materials. Her experience as a sculptor continues to inform her paintings and works on paper, where composition, form, color, and texture evolve through an intuitive and materially driven process. Her recent work is rooted in observations of environmental change, with particular attention to the beauty, power, and increasing precarity of water. Abstraction and representation converge in landscapes that can feel both familiar and surreal, exploring nature’s vulnerability, endurance, beauty, and drama while considering the human response to an environment in continual transformation. Living and working in close proximity to the natural world is integral to this quiet, introspective practice. Chahbazian’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States as well as in France and Holland. Recent venues include the di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, Seager Gray Gallery, Cornerstone Sonoma, Marin Art & Garden Center, and the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming, with Southern California exhibitions at the Brand Art Center and Lois Lambert Gallery. She is an active member of EcoArtSpace, and her work is held in numerous private collections.

"Beach-Combed Mochaware, " Mixed Media Sculpture

By Michael Thompson

Located in Chicago, IL

Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. In his ongoing series of memory jugs, Thompson adorns stoneware vessels with a kaleidoscope of ceramic shards, found objects, and pocket-sized trinkets he collected over the course of his life. Also known as forget-me-not jugs or spirit jars, memory jugs are African American folk art objects that honor a loved one who has recently passed. Small tokens and mementos of the deceased are gathered and affixed to the exterior of a jug or vase, an abundance of memories that celebrates a life lived to the fullest. Michael Thompson applies this tradition to his own practice, creating tactile assemblages of this and that. Formed in the manner of collage, each jug honors the lost memories of generations past and his own memories of personally discovering each item. With varied sources for materials including Kyoto, Turkey, and Mexico, a great number of the found shards are 18th and 19th century ceramics...

3-part painting construction by Black African American artist, w/ found objects

By Richard J. Watson

Located in Bryn Mawr, PA

This is an 3-part painting / construction (assemblage) created from acrylic paint, wood, glass, and found objects. It includes several historic photograph of figures as well as many scenes from Black African American cultural history. Each piece measures 23" x 7.75" x 2.5", and they can be hung close together or far apart, depending on the buyer's preference. All pieces are wired with the appropriate hanging hardware and are ready to install, no additional framing needed. PROVENANCE: Exhibited in "Portals + Revelations: Richard J. Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022. "Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson Richard J. Watson is an icon in the Philadelphia art world. Much of his work relates to his experiences as a Black African American man. He is a graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1968), has taught at his alma mater, and has served in the Exhibitions Department at the African American Museum in Philadelphia since the 1980s. He has been exhibiting his work for decades, and has an extensive bibliography. His work is held in the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Uniworld Corporation; Sony; the Federal Reserve Bank; the City of Philadelphia; Sprint; the Church of the Advocate; the poet Dr. Sonia Sanchez; and the Woodmere Museum...

Reflections on Crossing XXV / abstract realism, architecture, minimalism

By Anne Subercaseaux

Located in Burlingame, CA

Shades of sea blue-green with grey are at play in Anne Subercaseaux's meticulously painted 'Reflections on Crossing XXIV', oil on canvas. Anne Subercaseaux finds substance in the insubstantial, in paintings that freeze the ephemeral patterns of reflection and shadow. In her muted, almost monochrome palettes, images seem familiar but still elusive. The precise silhouette of a bridge girder or a windblown branch moves into focus and out again, a fleeting glimpse from the corner of the eye...
