C. Gregory Gummersall Art

American

C. Gregory Gummersall began his professional art career primarily as a West Coast artist. In the 1990s, Gummersall returned to an 80-acre ranch near Durango, Colorado, which suits his needs for quiet space in which to create art. Influenced by artists such as John Corbett, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Cy Twombly and Richard Diebenkorn, Gummersall’s paintings have an energetically gestural, spontaneous quality. His brushstrokes suggest symbols or signs whose meanings can be sensed but never fully grasped. They are reminiscent of adrenaline-filled quickly drawn graffiti. But unlike the temporary existence of most graffiti, Gummersall’s brushstrokes and use of collage build upon each other to create a sense of memory in the canvases; nothing is erased and through the layers of paint, the history of his marks remains visible. “The advance mystery of making aesthetic sense by working with the puzzled balancing’s, coherent compositions, complementary colors, and surfaced layers into rhythmic shared things of beauty is the reward. My secondary application of ‘ground’ over ‘figure’ illustrates my unusual interest in balancing the spontaneity of ‘chaos’ with the need for ‘order’. It also utilizes the free form of expressionist seemingly random marks with the more minimal ordering via painting out the excess chaos that then forms a new ground. Rhythmic lines, as architectural elements, add to the gestalt.” As an artist, with never-ending creative challenges, he gets easily bored with repetition. In the art business, where repetition sells, Gummersall had concerns that the range of his different series styles might be viewed as immature or unfocused. His friend (and former museum director), Mr. Gerald Nordland, informed him of how greats like Picasso and Matisse also worked in many different style series changes. Coming from such a respected art scholar, the advice was reassuring. His cycling back through the various series over the past 35+ years results in change, interest, and the needed growth of added variety. “My primary objective is to add beauty and expanded awareness to the viewers of my art. Contrary to much of the art world’s Shock Art, I hope that my art communicates on a higher plane and provides a refuge in a troubled world.” Gummersall’s art is in numerous private, corporate and public collections including the Fordham University Museum at Lincoln Center, Federal Reserve Bank Chicago, Palm Springs Art Museum, Deutsche Bank, Toyota, Tucson Museum of Art, ANA Sheraton Hotel in Osaka, Pacific Bank, BMW and Four Seasons among others. Gummersall was also included in the 183rd National Academy Invitational Exhibition of Contemporary American Art in New York.

'Hunters' original acrylic painting signed by Stella Atal

Located in Milwaukee, WI

The present painting is a bold an vibrant work by the artist and fashion designer Stella Atal. The image contains five abstract, cleanly-drawn figures against bright fields of green and yellow. The figures, representing hunters, are the very same that can be seen on her couture designs, referencing the history of African art, design and fashion. 54.75 x 36.5 inches, artwork 60.63 x 42.5 inches, frame Signed 'Atal S' lower right Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including UV5 Plexiglas to inhibit fading; housed in a wood modern profile gold moulding.

She relocated to Kenya and continued her education there. Later, she completed her education in the United Kingdom. She has a bachelors and a master's degree in Fine Art. She comfortably paints both miniature and large wall hangings using acrylics and water- based textile paints, she uses materials such as bark cloth, recycled paper made out of water hyacinth, Hessian, canvas and many other tradition materials. Her unique art pieces are inspired by ancient and contemporary African designs. They depict typical village scenes of life around Lake Victoria. 'Painting is the only way I can get back to my roots by using our cultural materials such as bark cloth that was used by our ancestors and helps me preserve my culture through some of the motifs I use that were used long ago as signs of belief and worship in the African culture.' Her distinctive artwork is well known in Uganda and throughout East Africa. Her bold, fluid lines explore complex subjects such as women empowerment and national development with economy and grace. Her central artistic preoccupation is the continuation of distinctively African culture. In 2007, she started her own label, Atal Stella. There she focuses on using what is locally available, including eco-friendly, natural and re-cycled material. Her designs have showcased at the Africa Fashion Week New York, in 2010 and at the Green Fashion...
