"Birth" Artist Proof Archival pigment ink print on watercolor paper, 8"x10" matted by John

Lot # 31 (Sale Order: 31 of 97)      

Johns images are examples of possibility within the realm of the impossible. He utilizes the psychology inherent in the photographic medium to attain a surreal world for the performance of his ideas. Allegorical story lines are established through the formal use of association, metaphor, symbol, icon and archtype that are to be found in the attributes and relationships of the visual elements. The formal structure in John’s work is of tantamount importance in presenting a proposition for the viewer to interpret. He uses aesthetics of classical beauty to seduce the viewer into places where they may not otherwise go. The computer enables him to materialize any fantasy and tweak any reality to be precisely as he envisions it. Although John’s work is surreal in nature, it is more correctly placed in the movement of “Magic Realism”, which is less coincidental and not a fantasy set in the unreal. Magic Realism is an artistic genre in which everyday elements appear magical in an otherwise realistic setting. In a fusion between physical and psychological states, mundane elements are endowed with deeper meaning while staying grounded in physical reality. John’s style relies on the psychological assumptions that are the inherent nature of photography - the assumption that photographic reality is a representation depicting what was in front of the camera and therefore true in some way. Art at its best does not simply please the eye but activates the thinking process to ponder, wonder, emote, relate and somehow cause an experience to take place effecting our constant state of flux and growth in some way as we progress on our journey through life.

"Geometry" Acrylic on Clay Board, 9”x12” ,10"x13" framed by Richard Morhous

Lot # 35 (Sale Order: 35 of 97)      

Richard was born in Yankton S. Dakota in 1945. After receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Washington in 1970, he spent three years teaching art in Melbourne Australia. Originally influenced by the German Expressionists, by 1985 his color sense and style were uniquely his own. In the early 1990s he transitioned from oils and chalk pastels to water-based media, mainly acrylic, as well as watercolor and gouache. “His forceful, upbeat and playful (but utterly resolved) style utilizes some Expressionistic elements, but it is also couched in the same verve and ironic humor as the work of Philip Guston." -Ted Lindberg - Alaska Airlines Magazine Go to http://www.lisaharrisgallery.com/artists/morhous.php...more

“Untitled,” Acrylic Paint, 12” x 16” by Gregory Hayes

Lot # 36 (Sale Order: 36 of 97)      

Most of this is about the paint, about trying to control it. But paint has its properties, a life of its own. Trying to understand how it will behave becomes scientific; making an attempt is the only way to know. Through these attempts Gregory gains an understanding that he then tries to communicate. He is saying something with the paint. As a painter this is his voice. The piece “Untitled” was created by pouring acrylic paint on to a piece of glass in 12in x 1/4in lines of various colors; then peeled up once it is dry. From there Gregory wove together the strings of paint into a painting. Go to www.brooklynartproject.com...more

“Spring Sun” Mixed Media, 15” x 17” by Craig Steele

Lot # 39 (Sale Order: 39 of 97)      

Embellished memories along with an old black and white photo filled in as the muses for this painting. A view from the back of the old frame house I lived in nearly forty years ago encouraged me to recall various sights and sounds along with pleasant odors ranging from the random splotch of sweet grass to that welcoming harbinger of spring, the lilac. Had it been possible to depict the sound of the dilapidated frame of the screen door I'd have done so. The manner in which the sun filtered its way thru the branches and leaves seemed to always be in a state of flux not unlike the way water and waves weave their way over rocks in a stream. Craig serves on the Board of the Philip J. Steele Arts Education Foundation....more

“Lord Byron" Mixed Media (resin, sand, nylon, cable, chrome mount), 54"xW6"xD5" by John McEnroe

Lot # 40 (Sale Order: 40 of 97)

"Surrender" Oil, 49” x 61” by Irene Delka McCray

Lot # 41 (Sale Order: 41 of 97)      

Irene’s paintings and drawings have always been set in the psychic realm, foregrounded with various themes of emotional challenge and internal contradiction. Though it evolves and varies slightly, a continuous theme is the dual nature of humanity, the necessary pact we have between connection to the other and being lone persons, individualized and apart. The work has led to absorption in such subjects as death, actual and metaphorical, addictamania, dreams, sensuality, and fantasy, all experiences where ordinary human consciousness is altered. It is there in the nether reaches that we open to the immediacy of life and the truth of the nature of being. Her consideration of these concepts is in a spirit of compassion and awe for the fierce mysteries of human existence. Go to www.delkamccray.com...more

"Untitled" Bronze, 14” x3.5” x4”, Courtesy of Goodwin Fine Art in Denver, CO by Yoshitomo Saito

Lot # 45 (Sale Order: 45 of 97)      

Yoshitomo produces quiet yet highly intelligent bronze objects. In the past two decades, Saito has made investigations over the image of skin through natural forms like tree barks and sea kelps, or man-made forms such as boxes, pillows, cardboard panels and painter’s canvases. His interest in skin however is not about presenting pretty surface textures but reexamining the meaning of surface appearance in natural as well as in our social economical cultural phenomena. Originally from Tokyo, Saito came to the US in 1983. His works are in numerous important public collections including the M.H. de Young Museum of San Francisco, the Oakland Museum of California, and the Hawaii State Foundation of Cultures & Arts. Saito’s sculpture has appeared in articles and reviews in major art publications such as Art in America, Art International, Art Issue, Arts Magazine, Artweek, BT of Japan, and Sculpture Magazine.

"Perpetual Perishing" Dimensional Drawing: Mixed Media, 8 3/4"h x 15 3/4"w x 1"d by Charles Parson

Lot # 46 (Sale Order: 46 of 97)      

In the 60 plus one person exhibits that the artist has presented throughout the United States his work has always focused on Connections. In this particular series, Still and Centered Point the initial work is developed in sketches using sight observation of the panoramic vista sites of the southern Colorado region. This particular work takes this sight observation as a point of departure and transposes it into what the artist believes is a broader abstract visual language, also utilizing industrial/architectural materials in collage form. The circular rings address shifts in time and portrays generational placements. The focus is the central circular form, a lens of sorts. This circular framed space and time is a metaphor juxtaposed on the western horizon, hopefully connecting the viewer with the poetics of this particular moment. Go to www.charlesparson.com...more

"5 Zones" Signed 1/1 digital print mounted on panel, 10" x 10" by Clark Richert

Lot # 47 (Sale Order: 47 of 97)      

Richert writes "As an artist, I operate on a premise that I need not be bound by the scientist's responsibility of proof; my responsibility is to freely interpret. That viewers fully understand all the subject matter in my work is not as important to me as their having a sense of the basic content: that these paintings are postulations about large things." Richert’s group and solo gallery exhibitions span the last 25 years. In addition to public and corporate commissions, his work can be found in the collections of the Nelson-Atkins Museum, Wichita Art Museum, Denver Art Museum, Amoco, Container Corporation of America, and many others.

"California 2" Graphite on Paper. 26" x 36" by Peter Reichardt

Lot # 49 (Sale Order: 49 of 97)      

Peter is a native of central Texas and received his BFA from The Cleveland Institute of Art and MFA from Washington State University. His work has been exhibited across the United States, and he is the recipient of the 2010 Critics Table Art Award for Best Work of Art: Installation for his collaborative effort in the Ideas of Mountains exhibition at The Creative Research Lab in Austin, TX. He teaches in the Visual Arts Department at South Dakota State University, Brookings SD. California 2 is a graphite drawing on paper depicting the landscape in Yosemite National Park. The center of the source image has visual information removed creating a void within the landscape that overpowers the peaceful scene. The void shape has several functions: it serves as a compositional device in defiance with the traditions of landscape art, it acts as a formal device to subvert the illusion of pictorial space, and it conceptually stands in for the disconnect we experience in the landscape between reality and constructed knowledge.

"Trabajando con la Azada" Pastel, 8” x 12” by Anthony Ortega

Lot # 50 (Sale Order: 50 of 97)      

Anthony’s artwork reflects the Latino experience through individual slices of life of the community, family, and other sectors of urban and rural society. The collective is the primary focus in all his work. Individuals in his artwork are faceless because they are important only to the extent that they help define the group-the community interacting and participating in its many rituals, social settings, and group functions. Through his work, Anthony offers a multifaceted fiction that incorporates the traditions, history and culture of Latinos. In the postmodern age, his visual language speaks to the issue of international migration, focuses on shifting demographics, draws from pop culture and seeks to present truth at a more local, personal level.
