Malou Flato Paintings

American, b. 1953
Over the past forty years, Malou Flato’s landscapes have become part of the Texas landscape. Her images of native flowers, blooming cactus, diverse citizenry, signature architecture, and especially of the precious water and abundant sky of Texas and the West enliven a border crossing in Brownsville, park benches in Houston, the River Walk in San Antonio, a residence for single mothers in Austin, and a DART station in Dallas. She has been the featured artist of the Texas Book Festival. Central Markets in five Texas cities have devoted prime space to her paintings. Her many private collectors include (the late) Ann Richards, Charles Butt of HEB, and sculptor James Surls. A homesick ambassador took one of her paintings to the American Embassy in Switzerland. Flato, too, is an ambassador: her murals grace subway walls in Boston and a public school in Washington.  Malou Flato was born in Corpus Christi in 1953 and has been making her way creatively ever since – first as a costume designer (B.A. Middlebury College, 1975); as a printmaker; then as a painter of rich watercolors and grand tile murals. More recently she has been painting lively landscapes executed by a technique that is hers alone: acrylic paint on Japanese paper applied to canvas. “Standing before Flato’s paintings, you can virtually feel the breeze ruffle your hair,” wrote one of her early admirers (Chris Waddington, New Orleans Times-Picayune). Flato’s latest work achieves this and more; it is at once fresh and lush, mature and of the moment. Flato has a studio at home in Austin and another on her great-grandfather’s ranch on the southwestern shoulder of the Hill Country, in Edwards County. She exhibits frequently at galleries in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas. The Art Center of Corpus Christi honored its native daughter with a solo exhibition in 2015. “Texas is my inspiration,” she says. “I have made my life here, and I would like to think that my art reflects the place I know best -- and that maybe I’m adding something worthy to the visual and cultural scenery.”

Blue Reflections - Large Blue Bather Swimmer Pool Original Figurative Painting

By Elise Remender

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Elise Remender captures the romantic glamour of a bygone era in her contemporary figurative paintings that blend classical fine art and contemporary pop realism. Fantasy, mid-century fashion, and the glamour of travel and coastal living inform soft brush strokes and abstracted beauty, reminiscent of vintage advertisements and dusted sunlight. This original 56-inch square acrylic on canvas painting evokes a sense of delight and playfully nods at summery vintage aesthetics. It is signed by Remender on the front bottom right corner of the artwork. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front, and it does not require framing. It arrives stretched, wired, and ready to hang. Free delivery within the local Los Angeles area. This artwork includes a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. Remender grew up in Arizona and is based in Southern California, but she has traveled all over the world, gaining inspiration for her work. Her most recent series, Bathing Beauties, which captures the human form and abstracts it through light and reflection, was inspired by the vintage elegance and history of Southeast Asia’s historic hotel pools and gardens. It evokes a bygone era when Ernest Hemingway and Jackie O. were among the clientele. “I’m a bit of an old soul, and there is a sense of elegance and beauty that has been lost in modern-day society, and I seek to recapture this essence in my work. I’m creating a sort of fantasy world of luxury, leisure, and old Hollywood glamour.” Her work has appeared in galleries in the US and Asia and in GQ Magazine, Architectural Digest, Dwell, California Home, and People, among many other publications. Her paintings hang in luxury properties including The Ritz Carlton San Francisco, The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas, and Hilton properties across the United States, as well as in the homes of celebrity collectors including Ryan Seacrest and Kylie Jenner. Artplex Gallery has been representing and exhibiting Elise Remender's original artworks in Los Angeles since 2018, presenting her impressive works to an international collector base around the globe. The gallery has been a 1stdibs partner since 2014, with consistently excellent reviews from clients worldwide. The gallery exhibits a well-curated selection of original artworks beyond the ordinary from established and emerging international artists with diverse backgrounds at high standards.
