"Friday Night Banquet" Print on Metal by Ginny Lea

About the Item

"Friday Night Banquet" by artist Ginny Lea (aka Ginny Young), 2020, Manhattan, Kansas. A clever fusion of medium and message, this original metal print features Lea's acrylic painting of a classic Mid-Century TV dinner. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and stewed apples are compartmentalized in an aluminum tray, then with unassuming conceptual wit, the artist blurs the line between image and object by choosing aluminum as the print medium as well. This piece exemplifies Ginny Lea’s signature ability to elevate the everyday into art, transforming nostalgic Americana into a vibrant, modern composition. The use of aluminum as both subject and substrate is a playful and poignant nod to 1950s and ’60s pop culture and domestic ritual - and in Lea's case, a special treat in her childhood, when her mother would take Friday nights off from cooking meals from scratch. Known for her expressive brushwork, vivid use of color, and layered texture, Ginny Lea's work has been exhibited in universities, churches, hospitals and corporate collections across the U.S. Her art reflects a lifelong commitment to celebrating beauty in the overlooked. "Friday Night Banquet" is an eye-catching piece with a delayed-punchline irony, perfect for collectors of pop art, Mid-Century Modern enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates the humor and history of American culture served with style.

Porsche 944 and 356 Lithographic Print by David Lord
By David Lord
Located in Littleton, CO
Extraordinary lithographic print on paper of two Porsche automobiles, a 944 and a 356 by famed automotive and aviation artist David Lord. Signed and dated, 1985. Image dimensions: 16.75” x 20.75”. Chromed frame dimensions: 24.25” x 27.25”. About David Lord Inspiration for David Lord to draw and paint came from hours spent as a child at a drawing board set next to his talented grandmother’s easel. “She painted flowers and landscapes . . . I drew cars, boats, airplanes and army tanks.” In addition, a beloved, dedicated, high school teacher, who “instilled the love of art history, taught me art skills and techniques, and the ability to ‘know what to keep . . . and what to leave out’ of my art.” A New Englander by birth, David attended high school in Connecticut. Art was his favorite class and he kept his eighth grade dream of going to art school alive with hundreds of hours spent drawing cars and planes. After high school, he began two years of art studies at the University of Hartford in Connecticut and then began training at Art center College of Design in Los Angeles, California. After two semesters there, general Motors granted him a full scholarship. He graduated in 1965 as a Bachelor of professional Arts in Industrial Design. Upon graduation, Lord was hired by UniRoyal in South bend, Indiana, to design consumer products and eventually products for military application in Vietnam. “I also had the honor and privilege of working with Gordon Buehrig on the preliminary design, drawings, and clay for the 8/10 scale Cord, built of vacuum-formable, color impregnated plastic. After three years with a South Bend industrial design firm, Lord started his own company. During this period he spent many late evenings at the easel in his own studio, painting and drawing automobiles. The direction of his artwork, philosophy and goals began to form. “I decided to focus my love of all things automotive with my talent for painting and drawing. I had been to many events over the years; councours, car and air shows, had an extensive automotive reference collection and four major influences and mentors. These were men whose talent I was in awe over the years; Peter Helck, Walter Gotschke...
