Signed and dated on the verso. “I paint because painting is a private Utopia,” Erró writes of his art. The landscapes in Erró’s work are a constantly changing kaleidoscope of images, multivalent and mysterious, not infrequently controversial, bursting with life – and titillating, too! There is room in his pictures for both paradise and visions of fear. Erró is the alias of Gudmundur Gudmundsson, born on 19 July 1932 in Olafsvik, in north-western Iceland. Since Gudmundur first became enthralled by pictures of works of art in a catalogue from the Museum of Modern Art in New York at the tender age of ten, painting has been his passion and his mission in life. He was accepted into art school in Reykjavik as a 19-year old, subsequently complementing what he had learned there with further studies in Oslo. Erró travelled extensively in Spain, Italy, France and Germany in the 1950s, studying at the Florence Academy of Art in 1954 and at the School of Byzantine Mosaic Art in Ravenna in 1955. It was around this time that he began to exhibit his works, first and foremost in Paris, where he chose to make his home in 1958. During the 1960s he established contact with the Swedish museum director Pontus Hultén, who encouraged him and took him under his wing. Over the years Erró has taken part in hundreds of exhibitions and today his works are on show in museums all over the world, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Erró’s pictorial world is peopled by comic-strip characters and autocratic despots alike. Donald Duck with his Daisy, Chip & Dale, and other Walt Disney creations are unselfconsciously juxtaposed with Greek gods and madonnas. Elsewhere the German dictator Adolf Hitler stands shoulder to shoulder with his Iraqi counterpart Saddam Hussein...

This beautiful landscape painting by Olga is part of her Pandemic series she did during the Covid 19 pandemic. As oppose to the chaos the world is experiencing due to the pandemic, her landscape paintings are the opposite; calm, almost surreal and utopic. Olga is mostly engaged in painting and illustration. She likes breaking the rules of proper reflecting of nature with the use of unexpected elements from another universe. Her works are minimalistic in the form, simply elegant and gracefully colorful.

"Jesus Checking in @ Gethsamane Diner with 12 Others" - Large Scale Pop Art Painting Set after the Last Supper, this large-scale pop art painting relocates the biblical scene to the “Gethsemane Diner,” a contemporary reimagining of the garden where Christ awaits his arrest. Christ stands centered as a modern icon, with a window bearing a cross behind him. He is surrounded by disciples rendered as stylized, fashion-driven figures. Each figure was inspired by models from 1970's Vogue Magazine. Each disciple bears a distinct symbol that functions as a personal identifier, replacing traditional religious attributes with graphic, brand-like emblems on the clothing. On the far left, Judas is unmistakable, wearing sunglasses and flashing finger guns, his betrayal recast as a casual, performative gesture. Judas' glove bears the number 30, a reference to the silver paid for the betrayal. This piece merges pop art, religious symbolism, and fashion iconography to create a bold retelling of shared cultural stories, a critique of celebrity-as-deity, and the value of image and iconography. Signed in the lower left corner "P Walsh" and in several places on verso. Titled on verso, with the names of each disciple. No frame, but the edges are painted for a frame-less display. Prevenance: Directly commissioned by a collector, then acquired from that collector. Peter Walsh is an artist from Chicago, Il. Inspired by his paternal grandfather and mother – both artists – he was constantly drawing throughout his childhood, into his service with the US Air Force, and in college. Although he studied political science, he continued to pursue art until he began to sell paintings at group shows. From there, he pushed himself to make art that he loves, unconcerned with the rules of traditional art. “I consider myself lucky that I didn’t major in art. I haven’t had anyone ever say to me, “You can’t do that.” I have always created for myself. I love color, layering color, mixing paint on canvas, and then sanding, scraping, and scratching it to find new colors, depths, and figures.” (biography adapted from VoyageChicago, March 27, 2018) Selected Exhibitions, Awards, and Events: 2020 - Kimono Paintings...
