Excerpt: THE ART OF JEFF GARDNER (1947-2020) He was the artist and ambassador of Woodrow Wilson Court. At Open Studios he entertained hundreds there, strumming on his old Martin guitar, making conversation, and, of course, sharing his paintings. He used the arts and the Red Sox to connect with the world. While Mr. Gardner’s prolific collection of paintings sometimes use humble materials–reclaimed cardboard, a detached cabinet door–they vibrantly showcase his inspirations: the luminous light of Edward Hopper, the landscapes of the Cape and of Cambridge, a passion for baseball and for the progressive possibilities of America. 501 / 1857 sold -

This process involves not only which medium I choose but also how I use it, andI often select more than one medium at a time. Whether I paint on paper or canvas, draw, etch, or collage photographs depends upon the idea or energy of my particular prevailing muse. My drawing is always a pivotal point for me, especially when I am working from the human figure. Regardless of the sujet, though, I use life experiences that have both emotionally and visually impacted me. I am always tempted to mix abstract thought with quasi identifiable subject matter. As I am writing this statement I am looking closely at the mountain that is directly across from my house, and as I watch, I see a jet aircraft’s white contrail moving far above the peak through the clear sky. I know it’s going hundreds of miles an hour, but the cottony contrail seems to be developing so very slowly. If I were to draw or paing this scene, I would need to make many decisions, starting with the desire not to render it only as I see it now but also to represent it as an experience that shows how t his kinetic and emotional vision has affected me. A major question would be, “Which medium (or media) should I use in order to express and communicate this experience?†The artists whom I have admired and learned from throughout history are those who get inside themselves and allow their thoughts and emotions to dominate their works. I believe it necessary that in order to create honesty, one needs to show how presenting the mess of things that constitute our lives can be seen in art that is essentially stable, coherent and believe it or not, realistic. 517 / 1857 sold -

Mighty Fine Art by Chris Bates Fort Collins, Colorado Artist His Artist Statement: For the past decade the artwork that I have created has been concerned with engaging the viewer. I have always been interested in the conversation that takes place between art and observer. I try to create works of art that invite people to be more than passive viewers and actually engage with the work. Whether I am painting large-scale murals or finely detailed pen and ink drawings this remains true. I create images that allow the viewer to interpret the meaning behind them in their own way, through their own set of values. I am not concerned with convincing someone of my viewpoints and beliefs through my art. For me this is an important part of creating a successful public art project. Over the past five years I have had the pleasure of working on many exterior and interior murals. I have built a great reputation as an artist that can create site-specific work on any type of surface. Painting on wood, metal, masonry, brick and fiberglass I have learned how to prepare and finish murals to last for decades. Not only do I have the ability to work on many surfaces but I also work in many different styles. My art overwhelms and moves the eye with a barrage of symbols and illustrations. These images are broken into fragments and achieve a balance between loose abstractions and highly detailed images. Every piece of work will look drastically different when viewed from close up and afar. I want people to spend that extra minute with my art and engage in the visual conversation that art creates. 544 / 1857 sold -

Over the past five years I have had the pleasure of working on many exterior and interior murals. I have built a great reputation as an artist that can create site-specific work on any type of surface. Painting on wood, metal, masonry, brick and fiberglass I have learned how to prepare and finish murals to last for decades. Not only do I have the ability to work on many surfaces but I also work in many different styles. My art overwhelms and moves the eye with a barrage of symbols and illustrations. These images are broken into fragments and achieve a balance between loose abstractions and highly detailed images. Every piece of work will look drastically different when viewed from close up and afar. I want people to spend that extra minute with my art and engage in the visual conversation that art creates. 545 / 1857 sold -
Mighty Fine Art by Chris Bates Fort Collins, Colorado Artist His Artist Statement: For the past decade the artwork that I have created has been concerned with engaging the viewer. I have always been interested in the conversation that takes place between art and observer. I try to create works of art that invite people to be more than passive viewers and actually engage with the work. Whether I am painting large-scale murals or finely detailed pen and ink drawings this remains true. I create images that allow the viewer to interpret the meaning behind them in their own way, through their own set of values. I am not concerned with convincing someone of my viewpoints and beliefs through my art. For me this is an important part of creating a successful public art project.

☆One of his wings comes out. This is a solid wood sculpture and the piece needs to be firmly put back in. It stays on when gently put back but repair recommended for stability sake. Excerpt: Alebrijes (ah-leh-bree-hess) are creatures carved out of wood and painted with Zapotec patterns and fantastic designs from the artists own imagination. These colorful one-of-a-kind carvings are handmade using wood of the copal tree which is grown in the surrounding fields of the towns and is considered a sacred tree which only grows in the region of Oaxaca. This wood is sustainably sourced from the branches of the tree in order to preserve the life of the tree and ensure a continued source of wood for the future. Alebrijes are traditionally made in Oaxaca in the towns of San Martin Tilcajete as well as San Antonio Arrazola. These beautiful works of art have become very popular over the years among art collectors worldwide and are highly sought after.
