Description
- Art and music have always played huge roles in my life. I studied piano for many years, then earned my advanced degrees in composition and conducting, while simultaneously enrolling in drawing and painting classes. In 1992, I arrived at a critical moment when I had to decide whether to devote all my time to music or to art. Art won. More... |

- My current drawings are actually an offshoot of a discovery I made while Senior Art Director at Eastman Kodak. I inadvertently discovered a small amount of white blotting paper and took it to my drawing board and began to test the line delineation with my black India ink, double "0" Rapidograph pen. What I found was a wonderful world of line and clarity that I had never experienced before. More... |

Description
- The way light falls over our beautiful Bay Area, how our seeing distorts scale and perspective, and the way the human body carries emotions were painted with the dynamic techniques of abstraction. These bold methods, when applied to natural forms, reinvigorated painting, which became wonderfully accessible. The work has a sense of place and is highly evocative of Northern California light and color. More... |

Description
- Besides architecture, there are other elements
in my work that tell time: cars, clothing of pedestrians,
street signs, lights and traffic. All of this is part
of modern society --- what documentary is made of. The
color in the pieces evokes a sense of things past. My
work is an attempt to depict familiarity with a play
on time; to recognize a place, but to wonder as to what
is really seen. More... |

$30.00

artist website
|
Description
- In viewing Confer's work, one is sometimes
reminded of a Duchamp or a Johns—not because of any noticeable
stylistic similarities. Rather, the parallel is in Confer's
ability to take a commonplace item and make it noticeable,
urging the viewer to really study it. And yet the objects
in his art convey no underlying meaning. They are not
obviously symbolic. They have no totemic significance.
In short, his works are not created to make a statement,
and in a sense do not really mean anything– any more
than a Bach fugue or a Haydn string quartet impart some
underlying message. More... |

Description
- It is with great pleasure and conviction that I introduce to you our first catalogue. It embodies a collection of paintings, each carefully selected to offer our clients a range of styles and color palettes. To say that the works presented here convey just one thing or another is extremely narrow. Whether one painting is a depiction of a noble or another the visual narrative of a literary work, they all seem to share in providing a visual feast, often evoking an emotional response. More... |

Description - Some artists we admire for their formal skill, and others for their quicksilver spontaneity. But there's a third, rarer type as well. I mean the artist for whom mastery and intuition are inseparable, fused. Kim Frohsin is this kind of artist. Her work reveals a gorgeous braiding of form and process. Drawing from the model, she captures a range of emotions as they uncoil their way through the body, seeking expression in the resulting gestures. More... |

Description
- The work in Kim Frohsin's, "FIGURES WITH EDGES", sears itself into being. Few contemporary painters manage Frohsin's sheer vivacity of color and form. And her talent extends beyond formal skill: although she doesn't paint overt narrative, much less illustrate her subjects, she always reveals a deep compassion for the expressive force of the body. The gestures that her figures strike are the results of intense emotions. More... |

The year was 1973, to travel beyond the confines of the city of Kathmandu was to step back in time. The three week trek was entirely without electricity, indoor plumbing, telephones, guesthouses or hotels. I passed few fellow travelers and saw fewer cameras. More... |
