"Cherry Cheesecake" Large Photo-Realist Painting, Slice and Bright Red Cherries
By Mary Ellen Johnson
Located in Wellesley, MA
Mary Ellen Johnson is internationally recognized as one of the top Photo Realist painters working today whose extraordinary area of expertise is large-scale, unimaginably realistic, stunningly beautiful and delightful images of food. Currently available are this delicious slice of cherry cheesecake, a slice of cherry pie with vanilla ice cream, an equally gorgeous strawberry parfait sundae, and a bowl of mixed berries with whipped cream:
Mary Ellen Johnson
"Cherry Cheesecake"
2010
Oil on Wood Panel
38 x 27.5 Inches
Note: This painting is framed in dark wood.
THE BACKGROUND IS A VERY LIGHT CREAM
SOLID COLOR WITH THE SHADOW.
The artist has also completed many commissioned food paintings including the Canadian Government's request for images of 5 of Canada's favorite foods which subsequently became stamp images - and The Cheesecake Factory's two commissions for their corporate headquarters and the owners' Malibu beach house.
A quote from the artist:
“I make the panels large to give a monumental feeling to the painting when viewed. These large images not only confront the viewer with their size but with their tremendous sense of extravagance. My work explores the deep connection that food has with humanity.”
Mary Ellen Johnson
Johnson further describes herself as a ‘Precision Realist’ whose primary subject is food. Sold works include paintings of PB & J sandwiches, pancakes with blueberries and syrup, banana splits, ice cream, hot dogs, cupcakes, waffles, muscles and sushi, among others. Unequaled for their brilliance and dramatic depictions of mundane subjects with their connotations of nostalgia, comfort and tradition, it is also her scale, cropping and over the top technical skill that renders these works so overwhelmingly appealing!

"Untitled" Medium Sized Abstraction on Paper, Cream, Red, Black, Monoprint
By Margo Margolis
Located in Wellesley, MA
"Untitled" Medium Sized Abstraction on Paper in Cream, Gray, Black and Red. Monoprint, 30 x 22 Inches, Framed in White Wood.
This monoprint has a very sophisticated sensibility in that it is purely abstract and consists of a suggestion of a gray grid on a cream ground with a powerful black and red free-wheeling biomorphic linear shape. The mark making was inspired by the artist's stay in Rome - where her then 10 year old son became addicted to Italian comic books -which adds another whimsical Pop dimension. Associations can also be made with Alexander Calder's paintings, sculptures and works on paper, and Asian art.
Also available by the artist are canvases (72 x 60 inches, 40 x 32 inches, 14 x 11 inches) and a series of related paintings on paper measuring 30 x 22 inches.
Margo Margolis lives and works in New York. She recently retired as Chairman of the Tyler School of Art's (Philadelphia) Department of Painting.
Margolis’ continuing commitment to abstraction is as fresh and invigorating as it was in the early 1970s when she began exhibiting with the Brooke Alexander Gallery in New York where she had several shows. In addition her work has been exhibited throughout the country at numerous galleries and institutions including The Pennsylvania Academy of Art, The Renaissance Society, The Munson-Williams Proctor Institute and Halls Walls, among others.
In reviewing the artist’s 1993 exhibition in the Beth Urdang gallery for the 'Boston Globe,'
Nancy Stapen stated:
“…eccentric, quasi-geometric forms and initial
impression of simplicity belie this artist’s highly
sophisticated grasp of paintings. These are multi-
layered works concerned with the discipline’s core
issues – transluscency and opacity, flatness and
illusioinism, line and form, figure and ground, pattern
and surface, structure and weightless pictorial space…
these paintings may be analyzed up to a point. In
the end, their process remains mysterious. Their
appeal lies in their engagement with an inventive
form language intrinsic to painting, as well as in their
deft synthesis of quietude and quirkiness.”
June 3, 1993
Current Chief Art Critic for the 'Boston Globe, ' Cate, McQuaid, wrote of Margolis’
2017 exhibition in the gallery:
“Her marks grab at you as insistently as a
toddler demanding attention. They’re like a
language made purely of punctuation,
rhythmic and emphatic, let out of the duty
of modifying sentences, freed at last to express
itself alone.”
January 6, 2017
Margo Margolis’ works are included in numerous public collections including the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, Chase Manhattan Bank, Amerata-Hess
Corporation, General Mills, Best Products, IBM, Estee Lauder, Miami-Dade College, Chemical Bank, and Wellington Management. She is the recipient of many awards including 2 grants from The National Endowment for the Arts, a New York State Council on the Arts Grant, and Yaddo and MacDowell Residency Grants. Margolis received a BS degree from Skidmore College and an MFA from Indiana University. She lives and works in New York.
Statement by Margo Margolis:
"While text and image combine to tell the story, it is the drawing around the narrative, the space between text and image that I find compelling. In my work, it is the space between, on the periphery, in the margins that has become the foreground. It is the charged environment that has become the subject.
Equally significant and transformative have been innovations in process that have evolved. Discrete marks are de-contextualized, reassembled and photocopied. They are further manipulated by exaggerations in scale, repetition and excessive layering. I have introduced 'printerly' processes (carbon tracking and stencils) that combine with marks that are hand-drawn, hand-painted. These are layered over and under transparent veils of paint. The incorporation of printing methods has been critical both formally and conceptually. These processes underline the fact that this is a system based on a 'ready-made' language. They create an identity distinctly different from action painting, gestural painting or any notion that the artists' stroke is assumed to reveal his/her psyche. These are distanced marks and frozen gestures. In combination with what is handmade, they reveal an alternate translation. Importantly, these processes, in allowing direct reproduction point to the semantic mutability of the language. However, most important is the process of building, excessive layering, and the continual dissolution and re-materialization of form. The paintings have a physicality and material presence that affirms the medium and is in contrast to their graphic impact."
