Erik Sprohge Art

Erik Sprohge was born in Riga, Latvia, spent his early childhood in Germany and came to Houston, Texas in 1937. At 16, he was a student of Lowell Collins and Robert Preusser, at the Museum School, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Sprohge received a degree in architecture from Rice Institute and in 1954 won the William Ward Watkin Traveling Fellowship, enabling him to travel extensively throughout Europe. He also studied painting at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico in 1961, and at the Glassell School, Houston in 1984. In the 1970s, Sprohge was a design partner with Converse, Sprohge & Cox, Architects, after which he specialized in architectural illustration. Sprohge has been active in the Art League of Houston and has had one-man shows at Dreyer Gallery, Lantern Lane Gallery, at the Jack Meier Gallery, Lowell Collins Gallery and Watercolor Art Society-Houston, Galleries. His works can be seen in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Pennsylvania and Washington. As a watercolorist, Sprohge’s works reflect actual or remembered scenes that, while realistically rendered, portray the spirit behind the reality.

Man on the Hill Original Painting "Contemplation" by Contemporary British Artist
By Angela Wakefield
Located in Preston, GB
Man on the Hill Original Painting entitled "Contemplation" by leading Contemporary British Artist, Angela Wakefield. Blue, white & black expressive impasto on canvas. Art measures 24 x 24 inches Frame measures 29 x 29 inches This piece presents a hauntingly atmospheric and introspective moment, using abstraction to evoke emotion and imagination. Here’s an art curator’s perspective: 1. Mood and Emotion • The painting captures a profound sense of solitude and reflection. The lone figure standing against a turbulent, layered sky evokes feelings of contemplation, longing, or even melancholy. The use of blues and dark tones reinforces this introspective atmosphere. 2. Abstract Expressionism • The loose, textured brushstrokes create a sense of movement and depth in the sky, while the contrast between the figure and the landscape lends a poetic ambiguity. The lack of facial details in the figure allows viewers to project their own emotions or narratives onto the scene. 3. Color Palette and Contrast • The predominance of deep blues with hints of white and muted purples creates a mood that feels both serene and stormy. The sharp black silhouette of the figure against the lighter background highlights isolation while grounding the composition. 4. Narrative and Ambiguity • This painting invites interpretation. The figure could represent a memory, a spirit, or simply a person lost in thought. The lack of specific details keeps the work universal, allowing viewers to connect personally to its themes. 5. Framing and Presentation • The white frame softens the piece and provides a modern, clean boundary that contrasts well with the dark and moody composition. It enhances the painting’s versatility, making it suitable for both intimate spaces and larger collections. Artistic Significance: This work speaks to themes of human connection (or disconnection) with nature, identity, and the passage of time. It would resonate with those who appreciate contemplative art that blends abstraction with emotional depth, making it a unique addition to a thoughtful collection. Angela Wakefield has twice been on the front cover of ‘Art of England’ and featured in ARTnews, attracting international attention and critical acclaim with her urban landscape paintings of New York & London. The style of painting has been described as ‘contemporary realism’, and is often favourably compared with Edward Hopper by collectors and art critics. Angela’s work is held in private collections in Europe and the USA, including the British Royal Family. Her admirers include leading figures in international business...
