About the Item
Born in New York City in 1959, Max Ferguson started as a filmmaker, making
award-winning animated films as a teenager. But it was while he was a visiting
student at an art school in Amsterdam that his interest shifted to painting. “While
my fellow art students were painting nudes of young women, I was painting
octogenarians with canes.” "I am not consciously a contrarian, but it would
seem that the louder and larger the work of my contemporaries grows, the
quieter and smaller my paintings become.”
"My work is essentially autobiographical," says Ferguson, with his two most
frequent models being his father and himself. "The more personal you get, the
more universal you become." "My paintings are generally populated by a solitary
figure. In one sense it is a soliloquy. But there is someone else involved; the
viewer. So it is more like a dialogue. It is that silent, emotional pas de deux
between the two in which I am most interested."
Ferguson’s paintings are in many prominent private and public collections,
including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The British Museum, the Crystal
Bridges Museum of American Art, and the soon to open Lucas Museum of
Narrative Art.

- "Celestial Clouds", Oil PaintingBy Christopher Clark 1Located in Denver, COChristopher Clark's (US based) "Celestial Clouds" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a gymnast in blue with pink and yellow clouds in the background. Bio/artist statement: Christopher has been an artist since early childhood, when he would watch Bob Ross on PBS and mimic the famed oil painter’s art with crayons. He considers himself a self-educated artist, with his studies ranging from personal training with contemporary masters, to classical academic art technique, with much inspiration from 19th Century art and the Impressionist Movement. Christopher lived in Italy for a time, immersing himself in Italian culture and art, which continues to influence his painting. His fan base has grown considerably since his return to the US, gaining the attention of Lucasfilm and Marvel Fine Art, which both signed him as an officially licensed artist in 2016. Other clients include George Lucas, Major League Baseball, Louisville Slugger, and Fender Guitars. Christopher’s painting skills are not his only talent in the arts. He has won several national swing dance championship competitions, and also studies tango and blues dancing. He has played guitar since the age of 12, and during his time as lead guitarist for a rock band, he opened for Blue Oyster Cult and Eddie Money, as well as headlined “the Whisky A Go Go” and “The Roxy” in Hollywood. Christopher has played trombone since high school, and for the last 20 years has played with all-trombone Christmas band in Orange County, California called the Balboa Bachelors, with whom he has played for the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade...Category
