Mark Gilmore Art

Drawing on paper is his basic work tool, some are sketches of his surviving works, others are sketches of moments he documents. Undefined by medium, Celso Castro’s works each carry the presence of the artist’s hand through the transparency of their process. Castro’s oeuvre is strongly divided between his photomontage assemblies and watercolor paintings: the prior is marked by the labor-intensive deconstruction of portrait photographs and the latter, by the seemingly frenzied recreation of a past encounter rendered in the drips and scribbles of paint and ink. Both discriminating in what they reveal of the subject, his photomontage and watercolor portraits exude raw sexuality through the combination of Castro’s mark-making and gaze. Celso Castro’s work is a bare-bulb erotic photo foray into the underbelly of Colombia’s drug world. Castro’s labor-intensive, photo-collage works of drug kingpins, smugglers, hitmen, countrymen, street vendors, soldiers, paramilitaries, kidnappers, and pimps pose showing with pride their erect penises...

Nahum Tschacbasov Biography : Russian-American artist Nahum Tschacbasov (1899-1984) is known for his cubo-surrealistic works which feature a strong psychological element. Some of his work bears a resemblance to work of another Russian-American artist--David Burliuk. He was somewhat of a late starter, moving to Paris in 1932 to study under Adolph Gottlieb, Marcel Gromaire and Fernand Leger. He had his first exhibition in Paris in 1934. He then returned to the US where he joined Rothko and Gottlieb at the Galery Seccession. He was one of the co-founders of The Ten, a group of social conscious abstract painters which included Rothko, Gottlieb, Joseph Solman and Ilya Bolotowsky, among others. In 1944, he began to work at Stanley Hayter's Atelier 17, a center for surrealistic ideas. Between 1936 and 1943, he had five one-man exhibitions at the ACA Galleries and participated in five group shows. He also exhibited at the Whitney, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Knox Albright Museum, the Chicago Institute of Fine Art and Corcoran, among others. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Met, the Whitney, the Brooklyn Museum and the Jewish Museum. Tschacbasov has been the subject of two recent retrospective at Fletcher Gallery, Woodstock, NY and Arthur Kalaher...

Mid Century Expressionist oil on canvas seascape of the Mediterranean coastline at Cassis in the South of France. The painting is signed bottom left but as yet undeciphered. Title to the rear stretcher. Presented in a fine gilt and patinated custom wood frame. This stunning seascape captures the raw, untamed beauty of a rocky coastline with impeccable detail. The painting uses a rich palette of blues and earthy browns to depict the tumultuous waves crashing against rugged cliffs. The artist's skilful use of texture and brushwork brings the scene to life, with the churning sea appearing almost animated in its movement. The contrast between the cool, turbulent water and the warm, solid rocks creates a dynamic tension, drawing the viewer's eye along the coast. Unique to this piece is the artist’s ability to convey the mood of nature’s relentless power while also highlighting the serene beauty of the ocean. The careful layering of colours and precise composition make this artwork a captivating interpretation of nature’s untamed forces. Some of the composition and use of colours is reminiscent of the works of Achille-Émile Othon Friesz...
