59th Street Bridge, original realist New York City landscape
By Michael Davis
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
A veritable life line for New York City that connects the boroughs of Manhattan to Queens, NYC artist Michael Davis painted this original landscape in a realist style to ensure capturing the might and splendor that such an architectural and engineering achievement represents to civilization and certainly to New York. A colorist, Davis seeks simplicity of expression, with clean lines paired with love of his subject matter balanced with aquamarine skies and sapphire blue water. His addition of sky scrapers in the background adds scale and dimension. Davis earned his BFA from Pratt Institute of NYC where he is a life member of the famed Art Students League. Davis' work has shown in the Grand Central Gallery, the National Academy of Design, the Salmagundi Club and the National Arts Club among others. This original oil painting is shown in a champagne silver plein air frame...

Who Wore It Best
By Michael Davis
Located in Palm Desert, CA
The Rare Earth artworks grew out of my investigative research in 2009 while working on a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) application. That resulted in a body of work titled “Imagos”– photo/journalism images that capture a moment in history and immediately place the viewer at that moment in time. While navigating Landsat records of Earth's land surfaces from space I discovered large areas of disturbed landscapes. These were immense open pit mines at numerous locations world wide, many of which were Rare Earth mines or REEs. The mining and processing to separate the rare earth elements is an environmental conundrum. On one hand these elements are in extremely high demand and necessary for electric vehicles...

"What is it About Old Men and Flowers?" (quoted from artist Richard Turner)
By Michael Davis
Located in Palm Desert, CA
Quote from RT on style subject matter. From the model image the actual artwork evolves in the studio. What was once a model is now a reference. The act of making, testing material compatibility, critical evaluation, chance, gesture and the Illuminating accident often shift the final concept. Ine artwork has a lite of its own. The Rare Earth artworks grew out of my investigative research in 2009 while working on a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) application. That resulted in a body of work titled “Imagos”– photo/journalism images that capture a moment in history and immediately place the viewer at that moment in time. While navigating Landsat records of Earth's land surfaces from space I discovered large areas of disturbed landscapes.

Esmeralda Mine, (Rare Earth), NV
By Michael Davis
Located in Palm Desert, CA
I began to incorporate these Landsat images into a new body of work titled "Rare Earth." Each Rare Earth artwork includes an archival image of a specific mine rendered in classic 3D (anaglyph) off-registration referencing mid-century exuberant optimism, geopolitical history, cultural signifiers, symbolic design patterns and phenomena The formal and elegant composition belies the actual relationship of the cause and effect of rare earth mining. --- The Rare Earth artworks grew out of my investigative research in 2009 while working on a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (SARF) application.

HOPE ( framed ) - 4 individual conceptual photographs spelling motivational word
By Christian Stoll

large scale conceptual environmental still life photographs playing with viewer's perspective creating individual letters from found objects spelling the word HOPE H-O-P-E by Christian Stoll Incredible details in this body of work: focusing in on this epic photograph work, you will find yourself lost in the artwork's details. Reminiscent of the appropriation artwork of Vik Muniz, Christian Stoll arranges everyday objects to spell letters of the alphabet. Only at close inspection does the viewer realize he/she is looking at an actual photograph, created in camera rather than with digital manipulation. _________________________ Artwork can be installed vertically, horizontally, square or across multiple walls 4 individual photographs individual artwork size 24 x 24 inches (61 x 61cm) horizontal artwork composition 24 x 96 inches (61 x 244cm) vertical artwork...
