Hana-Bi 4
By Frédéric Choisel
Located in Burlingame, CA
The Hana-bi 4 — A luminous oil on linen painting inspired by Japanese Fireworks The word hanabi in Japanese translates to "fire flowers," with hana meaning flower and bi meaning fire. It is most commonly used for fireworks, which the Japanese often describe as beautiful blooming bursts in the sky. The composition becomes more than a floral painting - it is a meditation on the emotional resonance of color, where flowers themselves become like fire: alive, radiant, and fleeting. The metaphor of "beautiful fire flowers" perfectly captures both the intensity and delicacy of the subject, reminding us how a blossom can carry an emotional spark. The artist said, "It is metaphorically a work on emotional connection to color, w/ith the flower as the subject".. Dimensions are 50 x 50 inches. French American Frédéric...

"Maine Farmer" A late 20th-Century Abstract Painting in Red, Black & White
Located in San Francisco, CA
Not the visual expected of a painting carrying the title “Maine Farmer.” But this abstract composition manages to convey the flinty resolve of men who support their families on the output of demanding and “generally infertile” soils, as described by the University of Maine. Thank the Lord for blueberries. Artist Abraham Elterman bestrides two countries. He was born in Mexico City and spent much of his education in the sciences, here in sequence: a B.Sc. in Physics at the nearly 475-year-old Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in his home town; a stint at Hebrew University of Jerusalem; a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of California, Berkeley; and then, taking a new direction with a residency in The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture located in Madison, Maine. Ah-ha, Maine! Elterman’s website lists 22 exhibitions in both Mexico and California, starting in 1986, and inclusion in group shows at the Monterey Museum of Art, Monterey, California and the Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento...
