About the Item
"American Splendor" 23 Karat Gold Leaf and Oil on Linen, 26 x 50 Inches, is inspired by the American flag, elegant and whimsical, also reminiscent of American folk art and in the spirit of Pop art.
It is framed by the artist in a simple strip frame, painted in distressed white, which suits the painting extremely well.
Note: The painting is pictured at the lower right of this photograph. Better images can be forwarded. Stripes are straight, this painting needs to be re-photographed. There is also a version of this flag painting in all gold leaf ("American Splendor," 26 x 50 inches, $9000) and a "Union Jack (Red)" and a "Union Jack (White)," both 26 x 50 inches, $9000 each, and smaller flag paintings in 23 karat gold leaf and oil of the Union Jack and the Cuban flags (8 1/2 x 17 inches).
Charlotte Gibbs’ paintings of flags, such iconic Pop cultural symbols as the Coca-Cola logo, and the stark geometric forms identified with the Bauhaus and Minimalism startle our expectations of such classic imagery with their incongruous execution in the very formal mediums of 23-karat gold leaf and oil. Consistently to be found in Gibbs’ sparkly and luxurious works is the artist’s keen knowledge of the history of art, her love of referencing it, and a subtle sense of humor.
The flag series also encompasses oils that do not incorporate 23 karat gold leaf. Commissioned works in various sizes are also an option.
“Gold brightens up the darkest days of the year at Beth Urdang Gallery, and Charlotte Andry Gibbs makes liberal use of it in her paintings.
Gibbs focuses on iconography, using gold leaf and paint to re-create flags, corporate logos, and legendary works of art. While crafting a gold American flag, or a Coca-Cola or Chevrolet logo in gold feels like a too obvious jab at capitalism, all the works together draw intriguing formal connections.”
Cate McQuaid, “The Boston Globe,” January 12, 2013

- "Down The Mario Hole" Mixed media Painting 47" x 41" inch by John Paul FauvesBy John Paul FauvesLocated in Culver City, CA"Down The Mario Hole" Mixed media Painting 47" x 41" inch by John Paul Fauves 2017 Mixed media, acrylic and oil on canvas 47" × 41" inch From GUCCI in Wonderland series GUCCI in Wonderland series contains two parts. First one, GUCCI in wonderland, is an inspiration that came to John Paul Fauves after doing a 10 piece collection of some Alessandro Michele art campaigns. There was so much magic realism in the GUCCI brand and concept that transcended from being a clothing label to something more surreal. It is here when the artist decides to give a hold to his new collection for 2018 named "holy exit" and dive into this new world of colors and wonders. The second part, Alice in Wonderland, represents the artist a world of fantasy and dreams. It seems as if the author Lewis Caroll could write like a dream. The same concept of surrealism is what FAUVES feels about Gucci design and branding. It as if Gucci can design and create form the world of dreams, and this is what the artist wants to represent in his art GUCCI in wonderland. ABOUT John Paul FAUVES: John Paul Fauves (born in 1980) is a contemporary Artist from Costa Rica . His artistic journey started at a very young age after he became a student of Joaquin Rodriguez del Paso , one of the most important Costa Rican modern art tutors. John Paul spent 15 years studying and mastering his technique, and only a few years ago he finally started showcasing his work. In his paintings he engages questions of identity as they relate to art history as well as our everyday interactions with mainstream culture and social media. Greatly inspired by modernist masters as wellas pop-artists, Fauves mixes fragments of different iconic images in vivid and colourful compositions. Of his experimental and high eclectic style, he says, “art is an expression from the soul, and the soul is somethinglimitless. This is why I am always searching for different elements to bring into the work.” 2019: Alts Iz farloyrn, Los Angeles, CA Portraits of Someone, London 2018: [ Mi / Me ] solo exhibition at DOPENESS ART LAB, Taipei, Taiwan Arte de La Peer Papi Chulo group exhibition, Krause gallery, NYC Down the Rabbit Hole group exhibition, Imitate London, London, UK ARCO Madrid Art Palm Beach, Miami 2017: Art Basel Miami PIXELS Pre-Basel group exhibition by JM Art Management at Laurent & Martin gallery LA Style Fashion week FACES, group exhibition by JM Art Management at HOMME gallery A Loss of Innocence, solo exhibition Guy Hepner...Category
