Contemporary Oil Painting on Linen Areil in Candle Light by Douglas Leon Cartmel
About the Item
'Areil in candle light' was painted with oil on linen from a portrait captured during a photography session with the model 'Areil' during which she held a candle in her hands to create the warm imagery that is represented in the painting. This artwork consists of thousands of hand-painted "pixels" creating a familiar abstraction when viewed in close proximity but morphing into photorealism when observed from the appropriate distance. This piece is an extremely dynamic achievement and is inviting enough to be used in a residence but captivating enough to hold down a feature wall in a commercial space.
The artist has created a number of these life-like portraits throughout his 'pixel' series mostly for private clients and now offers them by commission only. This particular piece is the largest from the that body of work and was the most painstaking to create. Requiring well over 100 eight-hour sessions in the studio. It was hand-painted without the help of an assistant and without the use of tape or other gimmicks. Ariel in Candle Light is undoubtedly the artist's masterwork and was executed with surgical precision.
Douglas Leon Cartmel is a classically trained architect who has followed his passion to pursue a full-time career as an artist. His paintings are in numerous important private collections including the Dallas Museum of Art.

- "23 V: Countercurrent, " Large Contemporary Oil Painting on Canvas by Renée ReyLocated in New York, NYIn her mixed-media artwork "23 V Countercurrent," Rey explores narratives connecting nature, technology and sustainability. Fusing a Postmodern oeuvre of abstraction and surrealism, with a nod to Tiepolo, Constable and Dali, the artist ignites saturated stems of red, pink, and green pigments in a world where color and form flow in and out of multi-perspectives. Springing forth through space is symbolic iconography. Sea life including fish, manatee and coral swim through currents of air, water and land as the artist examines the dynamic link between them. Engineered towers protect vital H2O for human sustenance while elements of the periodic table depict the equality of all that exists on earth and beyond. Renée Rey...Category
