Brandon Neher is a California artist whose original paintings on canvas embody a profound exploration of space, structure, and balance, infused with a touch of modern minimalism. Drawing inspiration from his coastal upbringing in California, Neher's art reveals layered references to his surroundings, merging physical and subconscious energies to create captivating shapes and patterns. This exceptional abstract artwork measures 30 inches square. Using acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, the artist meticulously crafted a uniform grid of 225 circles. The seemingly random arrangement of colors on the squares and circles creates a diffuse yet stimulating overall effect, inviting the viewer to explore every captivating detail. The artwork's sides are painted, eliminating the need for framing, and it comes wired and ready to hang. Neher's signature and title graces the back of the painting, ensuring its authenticity. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery accompanies your purchase. Born in Burbank, California, in 1983, Brandon Neher's artistic journey began after studying at the Brooks Institute of Photography for three years. His artistic prowess extends across a diverse range of mediums, including 16mm film, watercolor, oil, sculpture, charcoal, photography, mixed media collage, and print transfers. Neher finds inspiration in German expressionist painters, admiring their ability to convey narratives on canvas. His own creative process often involves carefully considering his images before bringing them to life, layering colors in a way that invites viewers to perceive familiar elements in a fresh and enlightening manner.

Howard Hodgkin based this print on a trip he took to visit his good friend and fellow Petersburg Press collaborator David Hockney in Los Angeles. The mid-eighties saw new levels of abstraction in Hodgkin’s work, building exuberantly off the ambiguous spaces of his earlier work. The artist used six colors of paint, producing a unique depth and texture to each print in this edition. Howard Hodgkin was introduced to the etching technique used in DH in Hollywood at Petersburg Press, where he was a long-time collaborator. Soft-ground etching allowed him to work fluidly and spontaneously, giving his prints the characteristic black brushstrokes seen in this print. Paper 8.4 x 11 in. / 21.3 × 27.9 cm Soft-ground etching (from one plate) with hand coloring in watercolor (orange-red, brown, and green) and oil pastel (red and...

STARSKY BRINE’s paintings and drawings captivate audiences with their distinctive style and a recurring theme, the search for the nature of humanity. In his bold works, the artist focuses on characters that are built from a combination of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features, as well as the appropriation of elements from comics and toys from his childhood. On the one hand, these characters distort reality to venture into an environment of subcultures and urbanism created by the spontaneous intuition of his strokes and the appropriation of the contemporary iconography. On the other hand, they move within the realm of fantasy. In particular, the animals paired with their human characters evoke associations with fairy tales or comics. They are reminiscent of the world of theatre, in which fantasy and poetry but also comedy often serve as catalysts for the creation of critical meaning. With his works, Brines often questions the interplay of good and evil against the background of the worldwide socio-political climate. Yet Brines does not interpret his themes as ‘black and white.’ They are complex and nonlinear, with charming disruptions, quite serious and yet full of humor. Brines is personally influenced by his mother and art historically influenced by Latin American figurative art, the German Neoexpressionism, the Italian Transavantgarde, and the COBRA group. His works oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Brines holds a degree in Fine Art from the Instituto Universitario de Estudios Superiores de Artes Plásticas Armando Reverón...
