Just as the figures in ancient mythology were the symbols of spiritual and physical perfection, so too are the characters in the painting “Jardin Erotic III”. Connected by their bodies and minds, they are wrapped by insect forms, as if the creatures were part of their own flesh. The middle figure holds sasima spinosa, an impressive insect from New Guinea that camouflages as a leaf, while at the same time an Australian papilio aegus perches atop the fingers of the other figure. The peace and perfection of the universe is captured with elegant persuasion in this painting, striking a poetic chord in all who behold its ethereal beauty. - (ASR.0003) Dimensions: 36" (91.4cm) high x 36" (91.4cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Canvas   « Less

In this highly imaginative painting, “Feral Sunrise”, we experience the creative mastery of Endre Szasz. Here we see the image of a woman whose face and neck appear to spring forth from the midst of a wild fox, as if in some haunting dream. The feral grey-green eyes of the fox are echoed in the wide-open eyes of the woman, her intriguing stare forever capturing our imagination. A blazing sunrise in the background casts its spell upon an emerald green landscape and frames the spirited image of the fox-woman, charging her with luminescent energy. This powerful dreams cape speaks of a world far beneath the conscious, one that radiates an energy that rises like the sun. - (ES.059)Dimensions: 19.5" (49.5cm) high x 20.5" (52.1cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Wood   « Less

Upon first glance, “Cosmos” by John Oberdorf, appears to be nothing more than a seascape painting. However, like so many of his works, he delves into another realm of reality. That appears to be merely part of the circular stone transforms into a reptilian figure emerging from the rock. The adjacent stone too, mirror this sense of fluidity or possibly an earlier state of metamorphosis. - (JO.0001)Dimensions: 30" (76.2cm) high x 30" (76.2cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Canvas   « Less

Among the many events which Nostradamus predicted, one of them included an earthquake of gigantic proportion in California in the year 1982. As we all know, his prophecy never came to fruition. However in the months just prior to the foreseen event, people began to flee their homes in droves. Sicre has chosen to depict the mental and emotional distress of those involved in his painting “The Panic of Nostradamus”. The composition is filled with the dashing bodies of the fearful. As if trying to escape a burning building, the figures shove and climb over one another in an attempt to escape. The viewer gets a sense of the people's terror through the huddled group of figures. They encompass the entire area of the composition, causing a claustrophobic effect which visually revolves around itself in the center of the painting, leaving the viewer feeling trapped. - (JS.0001)Dimensions: 48" (121.9cm) high x 36" (91.4cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Oil On Canvas   « Less

Through a delightful combination of lights and movement, the artist is giving us in her creation a possible answer to the esoteric and age-old question of the soul and spirit. The soul is within this beautiful body possessed and controlled before she lets it flow like a bird to reach the light of peace and never ending freedom and happiness. With the purity and transparency of the colors and shapes, we experience a tremendous spiritual force. The enlightenment of this painting is exquisite. - (KY.0001)Circa: 1982 AD Dimensions: 50" (127.0cm) high x 38" (96.5cm) wide Collection: Contemporary Art Medium: Acrylic On Canvas   « Less
