Brian Sanchez Portrait Paintings

b. 1986
Brian has been granted asylum in the USA. Brian Sánchez Jiménez Born on August 21, 1986 in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba. Professional Preparation: Graduated from the School of Art Instructors in Santiago de Cuba. Statement: Since I was little, with a Perthes disease that prevented me from walking until I was 9 years old, I entertained myself for hours and hours just drawing the images of the books that my father owned. One day I recovered from my illness but the obsession with drawing stayed with me. I discovered there that this would be my vocation and my need. In a way, when I start a piece, it's like I'm starting a journey. A journey that explores my past, philosophy and the human subconscious . My creations in my view are very symbolic. There are many elements in it that have latent meanings, whether collective or personal. They also have a strong philosophical and psychological charge., mainly delving into the subconscious and the dark part that we possess and repress, contrasting it with the pleasant or tender part that we want to simulate. The origin of things has a great meaning in my curiosity . This is how my inspiration arises in the world of childhood – as the origin of man-, abstract symbols that simulate cells – origin of life-, the wheel – origin of civilization. I also use circles to symbolize cycles of time and life. Passage of time, nostalgia, pain, loneliness, human darkness, disturbing and perhaps bitter elements, I contrast them as enigmas in environments of apparent calm or grace. Innocent figures in appearance, but with heartbreaking worlds, entangled with disturbing and enigmatic atmospheres are my characters and my works. The mountain also has a leading role in my work, both as an element of my personal roots as well as a symbolic element of the ancestral roots of the nature of the human being and his collective unconscious. I exploit all the techniques, many times I even use unconventional materials until I reach the desired point of maximum expression. I have influences as dissimilar as numerous. From the magical subtlety of the Flemish masters of the Middle Ages, through the magic of Rembrandt's psychological depths and chiaroscuro, to the eccentric decorative art of Gustav Klimt. I am also fascinated by the idealized worlds of Marc Chagal, Pedro Pablo Oliva, Joan Miro, Calder, Chris Berens, Odd Nerdrum. Also for the psychology of CG Jung and the philosophies of J. Baudrillard or Aldous Huxley. ``Within each person there is another person that they themselves do not know``. That will perhaps be an official motto to understand a little more the universe riddled with enigmas that is in my works.

"Another Dress Rehearsal" Oil on Canvas Fantasy Surreal celebrated London artist

By George Underwood

Located in Southampton, NY

In continuing with representing fine artists that are connected to the music industry we are please to announce that we are the only gallery in the United States representing the oil on canvas paintings of acclaimed British artist George Underwood. That is great news for collectors based in the United States. They do not have to pay any import fees or international shipping costs or any international tariffs which are costly. So this is a great opportunity to purchase a work of art by this acclaimed British artist. His paintings have been described as Magical with a touch of Fantasy. When David Bowie, a life long friend of George Underwood, was asked about the paintings of George Underwood, Bowie said "George has, over the years, refined his work to the point where I would put him among the top figurative painters coming out of the UK.... There's a sublime isolation surrounding his subjects that really touches the viewer, the figures being both heroic and vulnerable simultaneously". George Underwood, a life-long friend of David Bowie, were in early bands together and Underwood was asked by Bowie to created the classic cover artwork for David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" album and also for David's "Hunky Dory" album. George felt that his friend artist Terry Pastor would better create the hand colored airbrush look for the album covers so he had Terry create the cover artwork. A fun fact is that David and George were both in the same art class taught by Peter Frampton's Dad when they were youngsters and they remained great friends throughout David's life. I have included some images of Bowie and George Underwood over the years in this listing to show the close relationship they had since they were young lads. This oil painting by George Underwood is titled "Another Dress Rehearsal...
