A stunning trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) mid 20th century Italian oil painting by artist Alfano Dardari. This work depicts a beautiful flower in a vase with a perfect little droplet of water resting ever so gently on a petal. The flower in the vase sits atop a shelf upon which a gorgeous butterfly has alighted. Also on the shelf is a gold watch. And do you see a thread through all of this? I do. Mind you, it's my opinion but I'll happily share it with you. Memento Mori. Instead of defining it for you, I'll offer this description from the Tate in London: "Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning ‘remember you must die’. A basic memento mori painting would be a portrait with a skull but other symbols commonly found are hour glasses or clocks, extinguished or guttering candles, fruit, and flowers. Closely related to the memento mori picture is the vanitas still life. In addition to the symbols of mortality these may include other symbols such as musical instruments, wine and books to remind us explicitly of the vanity (in the sense of worthlessness) of worldly pleasures and goods. The term originally comes from the opening lines of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible: ‘Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity...

A stunning trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) mid 20th century Italian oil painting by artist Alfano Dardari. This work depicts the after effects of a late night. Gambling. Drinking. Smoking. Vice.

A pair of large, vintage, circa 1992, signed and titled post modern style geometric abstract paintings by contemporary American artist Gregg Robinson (born 1948). In the artist's own words regarding his work, "The media before you is the result of many years of experimentation that came to its current form in early 1992. I work with dry pigment over a plaster surface. My tools are broad knives, sponges, rags and masking. The finish is a high gloss alkyd resin." Each painting is on canvas attached to a wood support and stretcher. They are currently wired to hand vertically, but could also be hung horizontally. From the Gunnar Nordstrom Gallery website, "Born in Seattle, Washington in 1948, Gregg Robinson attended Simon Fraser University and the University of Washington before studying at the Brooks Art Institute in California. Robinson’s precise, geometric style is most reminiscent of the classic modernism noted in the Bauhaus of the 1920’s. Robinson’s intent is to create strong, high contrast images dominated by black-on-light pattern and saturated primary colour. Robinson successfully blends the classic hard-edged abstraction of Mondrian with a romantic soft...
