"Lamb", Oil on Canvas
By Renata Palubinskas
Located in Detroit, MI
This "Lamb" painting vibrantly pops with hyper-realistic color. It depicts a highly detailed lamb standing in against a blue background. Could it be an empty room? Could it be the sky? "Lamb" has a sweet look with its slight smile and holding a cute pink flower. Its awash in a cartoonish blue with clouds and cloudy farm animals. This pairs with the cow painting but is sold separately. Renata Palubinskas was born in 1968 in Kaunas, Lithuania, at the time still in the Soviet Union as the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic. She received her diploma in Fine Art and Restoration from St. Zukas Technium of Applied Arts in 1989. After working at the M.K. Ciurlionis State Museum of Art, she emigrated to the United States in the 1990s, basing herself in Detroit. Renata's work rethinks historic iconography while intentionally addressing the modern world through a new perspective. The characters in her paintings are often caught between the struggle of good and evil. That struggle represents the choice of trying to obtain immediate gratification or realization of the self, and the haunting life experiences with latent possibilities for death. Renata uses schematic compositions with purposefully positioned figures and other visual elements. To attract attention to the most significant figures, she often ornate their garments with intricate patterns. They are typically placed in either a serene landscape or an interior setting with a threatening presence around them. Her work has been exhibited in Collected Detroit...

By Renata Palubinskas
Located in Detroit, MI
This "Cow" painting vibrantly pops with hyper-realistic color. It depicts a highly detailed cow standing in against a blue background. Could it be an empty room? Could it be the sky? There is a very playful atmosphere as the cow is holding a dandelion gone to seed and the wonder is whether it will make a wish and blow. Its awash in a cartoonish blue with clouds and cloudy farm animals. This pairs with the lamb painting but is sold separately.

"Adam and Eve Triptych" Contemporary Surrealism with Hieronymous Bosch Attitude
By Renata Palubinskas
Located in Detroit, MI
"Adam & Eve Triptych" is a contemporary painting with surrealist elements such as the eyes in the clouds, the unknown and unknowable creatures painted and the biblical scene alluded to by the title. There is a definite Hieronymus Bosch attitude expressed by the creature in the first panel and the last panel. The sweetest creature is Eve as a very young, but nonetheless, suspicious and perhaps manipulative woman. Renata Palubinskas was born in 1968 in Kaunas, Lithuania, at the time still in the Soviet Union as the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic. She received her diploma in Fine Art and Restoration from St. Zukas Technium of Applied Arts in 1989. After working at the M.K.

"Nightscape" Deep Blues & Black, Oil on Canvas
Located in Detroit, MI
"Nightscape" was painted in 1960 by the African-American artist, Merton Simpson. It is a mixture of deep blues and black with what may be a white moon whose reflection in the lower half of the painting literally causes the painting to glow. Simpson became the first African American to receive a prestigious five-year fellowship from the Charleston Scientific and Cultural Education fund and left South Carolina in 1949 for New York City after he finished high school. He attended New York University and Cooper Union while working in the frame shop of Herbert Benevy. Many well-known artists came to the frame shop and in time critiqued Simpson's work and developed a relationship with him. At NYU Simpson became acquainted with Hale Woodruff...

"Portrait of a Young Eero Saarinen", Painted By His Father Eliel Saarinen, Oil
Located in Detroit, MI

After moving to the United States he designed the Gulf Building in Houston and became a visiting professor at the University of Michigan. In 1925 he was requested to design the Cranbrook campus.

"Farm No. 5" Abstract, Dark Dramatic Blue & Geometric Shapes
Located in Detroit, MI
"Untitled" by Brenda Goodman is a painting that shows the psychological drama that Brenda brings to her artwork. She is particularly adept at rendering within the dark foreboding black backgrounds struggles that humans often live within. There is a dramatic tension set up between the forms represented here: the large looming over the small, the stronger over the weaker, the smarter over the less capable. This painting is open for and encourages endless interpretations. Brenda Goodman is an American artist and painter currently living and working in Pine Hill, New York. Her artistic practice includes paintings, works on paper and sculptures. She is one of the original Cass Corridor Artists from Detroit, Michigan. Other Cass Corridor Artists include Robert Sestok...

Located in Detroit, MI
"Lil Sherbert" is a very colorful painting of an African American subject with a heavy black linear element. The title suggests a specific individual, although the rendering is abstract, and the confining quality of the heavy black lines is easily relived by the intense primary colors. This is an altogether exciting juxtaposition of colors and emotional energy. Painted by Sheefy McFly...

"Icarus Suspended" Abstract Mythical Figurative Mixed Media
By Michael Ayrton
Located in Detroit, MI
“Icarus Suspended” is an extraordinary painting of Ayrton's obsession with flight, myths, mirrors and mazes. This complex piece shows a figure in flight, frozen in action, either swooping down or, perhaps, falling to earth. Named after the Greek mythological figure, Icarus, who along with his father attempted to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax. Flying too close to the sun the wax melted and both fell to earth. The positioning of Ayrton's figure is reminiscent of "The Fall of Icarus" by Jacob Peter Gowy, Museo Nacional del Prado. This is part of a series of artworks on Icarus some sculptural and some three-dimensional paintings on canvas. Verso contains gallery label Matthiesen Gallery, 142 Bond St., London, England, with a signature and text in upper right corner: "To Morton Schotnick.

"Rima" Female Nude Portrait Oil Painting in Pre-Raphaelite Manner
By WILLIAM GIRARD
Located in Detroit, MI
In "Rima" Girard has captured a beautiful red-headed female in a dreamy pose of closed-eyed contemplation. The figure appears to be completely self-absorbed without being closed-off to interior monologue and the decorative element about her head suggests the intensity of those thoughts. The green vine that drapes her shoulders harkens to garden, earth and spirituality which is reminiscent of the vivid intensity of the Pre-Raphaelites. Girard was a Detroit figurative painter and teacher at College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan where he taught for 30 years. Other College for Creative Studies (formerly Center for Creative Studies) faculty and graduates include Richard Jerzy, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing (currently director of Lucas Film), Stephen Dinehart (game maker, writer, designer connected with The David Lynch Foundation), Tyree Guyton (international artist), Herb Babcock...
