Bold San Francisco Abstracted Still Life Composition in Oil on Board
By Frank Koci
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold San Francisco Abstracted Still Life Composition in Oil on Board Bold still life composition by Frank Koci (Czech-American, 1904-1983). A table is set with a jug of wine and a bowl of fruit and a landscape in the background. It is composed of several layers of paint, with bold outlines. In some areas, paint has been scraped away to create additional texture. In broad terms, you can describe Koci’s paintings as a series of “people-scapes,” wherein people are shown having relationships (some fleeting, some enduring) with fellow humans. A better term is probably “preludes” — wherein each painting sets the stage for something momentous that will occur in the very next frame. In the best Kocis, the tension is palpable. Signed in the lower right corner "Koci". Presented in a wood frame. Board size: 13"H x 30"W x .5"D Born in 1904 in Pilsen Czechoslovakia to a widowed mother. Koci grew up in poverty. Leaving Pilsen at 17 he was already too sophisticated about arts and literature, drama, and polished...

Martin Saldaña “Lovely Gal” Oil on Board, Vibrant Mexican Folk Art, 20th Cent.
By Martin Saldana
Located in Denver, CO
“Lovely Gal” is a delightful oil on board painting by Martin Saldaña (1874–1965), a self-taught Mexican-American outsider artist celebrated for his vivid, whimsical depictions of childhood, rural life, and nature. This semi-abstract figurative work bursts with bold colors, featuring lively flowers and birds that reflect Saldaña’s deep connection to his Mexican heritage and love for the natural world. The painting is presented in a custom frame, measuring 30 ¾ x 25 ⅜ x 1 ⅝ inches, with an image size of 24 ½ x 19 ⅛ inches. Its charming composition and vibrant palette exemplify Saldaña’s signature folk art style, offering a joyful, nostalgic glimpse into his personal memories and cultural roots. About the Artist: Born in Rancho Nuevo, Mexico, Martin Saldaña led a modest life and worked as a cook at Denver’s iconic Brown Palace Hotel. Remarkably, he began his artistic career at age 76, attending children’s art classes at the Denver Art Museum, which sparked a prolific creative period lasting 15 years. Saldaña’s paintings are noted for their bold geometric forms, vivid colors, and naïve, folk art aesthetic, often reminiscent of traditional Mexican tapestries. Producing a new work nearly every three days, he captured landscapes, ranch life, animals, and childhood memories with heartfelt simplicity. Today, Saldaña’s enchanting artworks continue to captivate collectors, celebrating the rich visual culture and charm of Mexican-American folk art. ©David Cook Galleries...

What Are They Looking At ? Sexy Nude Naive Caribbean Art , Swimming Pool Party
By Wilson Bigaud
Located in Miami, FL
A young man at a crowded upper-class Haitian swimming pool attracts attention. We see him only from the back in a Magritte-like pose. The transfixed expressions of some of the nubile bare-breasted bathing beauties and one man with his hands down his pants give us a clue that the mystery man is special. This is a fascinating work packed with drama and overflowing with pent-up emotion.
Bigaud's narrative is as complex as his figural composition of lookers and swimmers. Notice the sight lines of the lookers go back to front while the two swimmers go from left to right. The twenty-two figures are contained in the rectangular shape of the pool, which is pushed to the front of the picture plane. The cars of the pool partygoers are seen in the background with one witness. He is fully clothed and is most likely a chauffeur. The fully clothed female at the pool offering food is a servant. A boxy-looking radio with a pack of cigarettes and the style of the cars give glue to the date. Most Haitian art depicts average working people. The pool party departs from that tradition and shows life of the Haitian upper class. Most likely, this was painted in Petion-Ville. The higher the elevation in Port-au-Prince the more wealthy the homes. Although the artist's painting technique may be described as naive or lacking polish.
 t's one of the reasons why the work radiates charm and interest. The painting is oversized with huge dimensions of 55 x 48 and will be a statement in any room. Wilson Bigaud is considered to be a Haitian master. The condition is good. Three repaired one-inch issues on the extreme center and upper right edge. Visible only on close inspection. Otherwise presents very well and is elegantly framed, ______________________________________ Haitian master Wilson Bigaud is renowned for works portraying everyday life and rites of passage—vodou rituals, fortune-tellers, weddings, cockfights, and carnivals—with voluminous figures and lucid colors. Born in Port-au-Prince, in 1946 Bigaud was among the first to attend DeWitt Peters’s Le Centre d’Art d’Haïti, where he studied with Hector Hyppolite...
