Man Series by Robert DeVoe, Complete Works from 1976 and 1977

About the Item

This is the Man series by Robert DeVoe, created between 1976 and 1977. Each of the seven paintings depicts esoteric visions and spiritually-attuned imagery. Each of the paintings measures 32"W x 47.5"H. Each painting is done on art board, unframed. The field of each of the paintings is in great condition with only minimal wear. For additional photos of this series of works, please get in touch with us. On DeVoe: Lived 1928- 1992. Born in Elmira, New York, Robert Alan DeVoe earned his BFA and MFA from the Tyler Art School in Philadelphia. His interests ranged from technology and mathematics to philosophy, music and metaphysics and he is, as he puts it, "obsessed with the geometry of life, the design matrix of nature." Higher consciousness and the search for it is the underlying theme, even the purpose, of his art. In his words, "My imagery comes from technology, science, and the mathematics of our time." Devoe's work is full of references to physics, Taoism, geometry, interstellar travel, the Big Bang theory and the architecture of higher thought. Robert Devoe has a long list of shows and commissions of painting, sculpture, music and installations in which he has been involved, including exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Frankfurt, Germany. Mr. Devoe also received the Armstrong Award for Excellence in FM Broadcasting in 1970 for his creation of a radio show that commanded an almost cult-like following. Obviously a "Renaissance Man", Robert Alan Devoe is an artist with distinctive credentials and a wonderful sense of design, energy and color. AF - 102124 - C-8089 to C-8095

Mixed Medium and Chalk Painting, Little Man Series
By (after) Jackson Pollock
Located in New York City, NY
Part of the Little Man Series by Steven Colucci - Mixed media / Acrylic and chalk. Steven Colucci was born to an Italian family in the South Bronx, near Yankee Stadium. His father owned and operated the dry cleaning service used by New York Giants. Colucci remembers sharing dinners with legendary athletes like Tucker Frederickson, Rosey Grier, Jim Brown and Frank Gifford. At 12 years old, he was diagnosed with severe dyslexia and forced to enroll at New York University Reading Institute, a small-private school in the East Village. During his years at NYU Reading Institute, he was encouraged to express himself through painting; he became particularly in representing movements through paint and carefully studied the works of John Marin, Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. After finishing the program at NYU Reading Institute, Colucci returned to William Taft high school in the Bronx, and remained focused on painting and won a scholarship to the School of Visual Arts. After graduating with the B.A. in painting, he moved to Paris to continue his studies in art and movement. It was in Paris that he began to study pantomime and ballet under the tutelage of world-famous movement artist Etienne Decroux. Decroux worked with him honing his talent, until he was discovered by Marcel Marceau in the late 70s. Marceau had few protégés, and Colucci quickly became one of them. For the next decade under Marceau’s instruction, he developed his own artistic voice and style. In the 1980s, he moved back to New York where he developed a dance and mime program, which offered one-on-one workshops with the world-renowned dancers and musicians like Martin VanHamel, Kevin McKenzie, Dennis Koster, Gerald Busby and more. He brought his workshop to numerous colleges across the United States including Bard College, nationally recognized for its prestigious arts program and the Philadelphia Art Museum. Ronal Wilford, President of Columbia Artists Management, recognized Colucci’s work as high art. Between 1980s and 1990s he was asked to collaborate with various dancers and artists including Alvin Ailey, Melba Moore, Royal Ballet of Flanders, Julio Iglesias...

Art Sculpture Wheel by Robert Loughlin '1949 – 2011'
By Robert Loughlin
Located in Voorburg, NL
Magnificent art work, acrylic on wooden wheel, painted by outsider artist extraordinaire Robert Loughlin in 2005. In very good condition, comes on a metal standard. Signed to verso ‘RL’. A certificate of originality is available on request. In life, Mr. Loughlin was a furniture picker who sold Paul Evans tables to New York’s swankiest midcentury furniture shops. In death, he has gained a measure of immortality for his Dadaesque series of paintings, “The Brute,” which depicts a kind of Cro-Magnon James Dean with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He is the misanthropic muse whose sole pleasures in life, aside from nicotine consumption, are plaid shirts, sex and a stiff drink. Ostensibly, the Brute was inspired by Gary Carlson, a strapping Vietnam War veteran. In September 2011, while in the middle of a bender, Mr. Loughlin, 62, was hit by a car as he crossed the highway near the Airstream trailer...
