Zachary Schomburg Paintings

American, b. 1977
Zachary Schomburg is a painter and poet based in Portland, Oregon. Working primarily with acrylics, he draws inspiration from the vibrant energy and dynamic compositions of artists like Helen Frankenthaler and Etel Adnan. For Schomburg, painting is an act of letting go—an ongoing practice of embracing surprise and listening to the paint itself. In addition to his visual art, Schomburg is a poet and the author of six books of poems, a novel, and the founder of an independent poetry press. His creative practice spans both mediums, with a deep commitment to storytelling through both words and imagery. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, and raised in Iowa. He earned a BA from the College of the Ozarks and a PhD in creative writing from the University of Nebraska. His books of poetry include Pulver Maar (2019), The Book of Joshua (2014), Fjords vol 1 (2012), Scary, No Scary (2009), and The Man Suit (2007). Schomburg lives in Portland with his partner and their child, where he continues to explore the connections between language, art, and the natural world around him.

"Lus Osculi" (Abstract Black & White, Graphic Painting, Roman-inspired, Neutral)

By Nicholas Evans

Located in Paris, IDF

Drawing inspiration from the ancient Roman term "Los Osculi," translating to "right to kiss," the artist delves into a compelling exploration of the past's intriguing customs. In ancient Rome, women were prohibited from drinking as it was believed to lead to adultery and even possess abortifacient properties. Consequently, the husband and male family members of an "honest" woman possessed the right to kiss her on the mouth to ensure her sobriety. The allure of fleeting kisses, whispers of scent, and the sensuality of suspicion captivated the artist's imagination. On an antique French canvas...

Fauve Flamingos: birds in landscape w/ blue water, pink mountains, palm trees

By Joseph McAleer

Located in Bryn Mawr, PA

"Fauve Flamingos" is an acrylic on canvas painting depicting birds in a bright, whimsical Fauvist landscape reminiscent of the post-impressionist Henri Matisse. It is signed on the back. Edges are neatly finished and painted, so there is no need for additional framing. Every purchase comes with a free, hardcover copy of the beautiful illustrated new book, "Joseph McAleer: Sixty Years." "Joe McAleer's paintings engage us as participants in a complex perceptual game. Comprised of contrasting patterns of color, texture, and form, which fill the canvas from edge to edge, his restless abstractions elude a fleeting encounter. Rather, they absorb our attention with rhythmic structures and visual anomalies designed to stimulate and perplex our senses. McAleer's kaleidoscopic abstractions have their basis in the humble Modernist's grid,......" - Joe Houston, Author "Optic Nerve, Perceptual Art of the 1960s"; Curator, Hallmark Art Collection. McAleer is an artist and lifelong educator based in NJ. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Rowan University, and has exhibited his work up and down the east coast, including major solo exhibitions at Bridgette Mayer Gallery and Locks Gallery...
