47 x 65 in. / 4 x 5.4 ft "Oregon" - Large abstract Oil on Canvas
By Alexis Portilla
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is a beautiful oil painting by Alexis Portilla, using a palette of jewel colors, bold brushwork and pictographs to create an atmospheric piece. Color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs and vessels convey symbolism. Vessels are a recurring theme in Portilla's work as symbolic of the potential for the ability to hold and receive. Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture. Oregon 47 x 65 in. Oil on Canvas Signed on verso Ready to hang: Yes Frame: Not applicable Materials: Oil paint, canvas, wood stretchers Alexis Portilla holds an MFA from Columbia University (1990) and a BFA from Pratt Institute. His work is in more than 250 private collections worldwide and in many international public and corporate collections including The New York Public Library, Harvard University, Pepsi Co., Warner Music Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Penn State University, Norwest Venture Partners, and Mikasa Corporation. He has exhibited internationally at venues from New York to Hong Kong, including the Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan, Hofstra University Museum in New York, and Monmouth Museum in New Jersey. Alexis Portilla's large scale pieces like Anemone, Black Elk, Thor Twins, Tokyo, Chromatic Fantasy are spectacular pieces in terms of the atmospheric brushwork, colors and textures. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts. “Alexis is a poet in space and a painter of original feeling… He conveys a constant sense of expansion.” Artist Will Barnet (1911-2012), June 2007 “Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present." - Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review The artist Alexis Portilla obtained his Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990, and his BFA at the noted Pratt Institute. The artist has shown in group and solo exhibitions. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections. These pieces and others are available for viewing in Los Angeles.

Der unerwartete Besuch / The Unexpected Visit
By Robert Hammerstiel
Located in Wien, 9
Born in 1933 into a Banat German family from Yugoslavia, Hammerstiel learned the harshness of life in a brutal way at a young age: together with his mother and brother, he was interned in various camps for three years. In 1947 they managed to escape to Austria where Hammerstiel worked in steelworks in Ternitz. Adversely affected by adverse working conditions, he moved to the archive office there at the end of the 1970s. Like his father, who worked as an icon painter in addition to his profession as a baker, Hammerstiel drew and painted on an audio-didactic basis and primarily to come to terms with his traumatic experiences. In the form of various art seminars organised by the trade union federation, over a period of about ten years, he succeeded in developing his artistic skills and learning new techniques. His teachers at the time included Gerda Matejka-Felden, Gerhard and August Swoboda, as well as Robert Schmidt, who introduced Hammerstiel to the art of woodcutting. At the beginning of the 1970s, he approached biblical themes with his newly acquired technique. Since 1972 Hammerstiel has exhibited his works at numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad. In 1985 he was awarded the title of professor by the then Austrian Federal President. The year 1988 marked a significant turning point in the artist's life: on the one hand, Hammerstiel took early retirement and, on the other, after a stay in New York, he turned to the painting style of Pop Art. This was accompanied by a new use of bright colours and a drastic reduction to the essential. The completely anonymous depiction of people in the paintings was particularly influential in this new creative period. From this time on, study trips took him to the most diverse countries in the world. In 2006 the Ringturm in Vienna was completely covered with four murals by Hammerstiel. Three years later, an exhibition focusing on the artist's graphic work was shown at the Leopold Museum. As a highlight, Hammerstiel's cycle of works entitled "Winterreise" from the 1990s was shown, which was created in reference to the song cycle of the same name by Franz Schubert...
