Beethoven Auction – RACHEL MONOSOV

SOLD  Posted by / 0 comments

 Immortal Beloved, 2011
30″ x 20″
archival c-print

 SOLD

 ARTIST STATEMENT

Monosov’s portrait is inspired by Beethoven’s letters to his “Immortal Beloved” which were found in Beethoven’s desk upon his death.  The letters speak of longing, impossible love and hope for an improbable future.  This portrait too is hidden, suffering, and yet incredibly powerful in both imagery and color.

BIO

Russian born, Israeli artist Rachel Monosov studied photography at the Betzalel Academy for Arts and Design in Jerusalem and the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is known for her radical self portraits and, although only 24 years old, her her work has been shown in galleries around New York, California and Israel.  On September 6, 2011, she was the featured artist in a 3-woman show at the prestigious ST ART Gallery in Tel Aviv where she unveiled a life size sculpture commenting on the use of the female body in today’s global consumer society.  Monosov’s work often draws attention to society’s objectification of the human form and of women in particular. The deception of appearance and the resulting assumptions made based on appearances can lead to misunderstanding and mistreatment. As a result, those that are objectified tend to recede into the background where they can retain a sense of self. Monosov’s art challenges the viewer to think about society’s invasive tendencies.

Beethoven Auction – AMY HILL

SOLD  Posted by / 0 comments

Young Beethoven Today, 2011
9” x 12”
oil on canvas

SOLD

ARTIST STATEMENT

The portrait of Beethoven, like her other portraits, places him in a contemporary setting, in contemporary clothing, specifically a t-shirt with a Beatles logo, playing what might be an electric keyboard.  As in all her paintings, she transports him through time, examining the importance of context on the development and recognition of a genius.

BIO

Hill’s portraits and narratives are contemporary versions of 15th century Flemish paintings, highly detailed and done with similar traditional techniques.  She  studied commercial art at Carnegie Mellon University, then moved to New York City and worked as an illustrator for such publications as Rolling Stone, the New York Times and Penguin Books.  She became a full time painter after a successful solo show in the East Village during its boom in 1989. Since then she has continued to paint and her work has been shown nationally and internationally.  Hill is currently represented by galleries in New York City and Chicago.

Beethoven Auction – HUGH LEEMAN

SOLD  Posted by / 0 comments

The Burning Reality of LIving Intense Dreams, 2011
28″ x 40″ (framed)
graphite and spray paint on stonehenge paper

SOLD

ARTIST STATEMENT

While creating portraits is the focus of my artwork, they are seldom created to depict the famous and influential. Beethoven on this occasion and again in the past has been an exception. While profoundly talented, it is in fact, his dedication and ability to continue creating after his health and in particular his hearing had begun to deteriorate that is most remarkable. When I created my first Beethoven portrait, he was to me then, as now, among the world’s most incredible musicians, over this time he’s come to personally symbolize an extreme dedication to the craft of creating that I am truly enamored by.

BIO

Hugh Leeman is a self taught, San Francisco based artist.  His gallery work has been exhibited in New York, San Francisco and at The Museum of Mexico City. Recognized for his gallery portraiture which captures in raw emotion the lives of his subjects whom he meets on the inner city streets; though best known for his street art which has adorned walls from Varanasi, India to Indiana and from New York, London, Tel Aviv and the divided Palestinian Territories to Bogota, Colombia.  Most recently Leeman created the first ever MLK mural overlooking his historic birth house.  His subjects, often marginalized by society, are recast into potentially heroic roles before being pasted all over the world. His street art has additionally evolved into the “t-shirt project” in which he gives back to his subjects by printing his art onto shirts which they sell and keep 100% of the profits from.

Beethoven Auction – ANNE WORBES

SOLD  Posted by / 0 comments

Beethoven, 2011
17” x 12.5”
colored pencil on vat paper

SOLD

ARTIST STATEMENT

Beethoven,
delving into his music, his work and his nature
I sense this touching intensity,
the melancholy in his eyes,
suffering and passionate,
bearing the heavy weight of life, enduring it.
So often racked with pain of the body and financial needs.
A sensitive soul,
hurt, vulnerable, desperate, aggressive,
vigorous, impetuous, an outcry of agony,
solitude, heroism,
indefatigable working far beyond the limits of power,
longing for warmth and shelter,
freedom, perfection, love,
his strength in all the weakness,
the explosive energy of this genius.

BIO

Anne Worbes was born on the 10th of May, 1966 in Jena, Germany.  Formally educated in theological and pedagogical studies she currently lives and works in Leipzig and has three daughters.  Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museum shows around Europe including in Germany, Austria, Spain and Romania.  Recently, Worbes made her US debut in Miami, Florida and continues to emerge on the American market with upcoming shows including this Beethoven Festival 2011 in Chicago.

Beethoven Auction – CARLY IVAN GARCIA

SOLD  Posted by / 0 comments

Beethoven What?, 2011
30″ x 20″
mixed media on panel

SOLD

ARTIST STATEMENT

The painted portrait of to Beethoven is my attempt at abstracting his radicalness from a gestural more figurative perspective. My intention as a Neo-Modern Abstract Expressionist is to capture the emotions and feelings including the serious intensity that must be present for any great master, like Beethoven, to inspire such social change. That is the underlying message behind this work.

BIO

Carly Ivan Garcia is a self taught artist who has developed and evolved a unique Neo-Modern abstract style. Garcia’s language of imagery is translated through strong form and bold palettes.  At the heart of Garcia’s creativity is a visionary outreach which is quickly putting him on the American art scene map as the contemporary abstract expressionist painter to be watched this decade.  In the past 2 years, his work has been shown in numerous solo shows in California and Florida and over a dozen group shows around the country including during the prestigious Miami Basel and New York Armory weeks.  Most recently, in May 2011, solo show “Citizen Garcia” opened at trendsetting gallery Driftwood Art Salon in San Francisco only to receive wide media acclaim around the West Coast.  Through his work and his sense of self, Garcia is inspiring and effecting positive change that communicates art as a catalyst for awareness and action.

Beethoven Auction – AMINA AHMED

Beethoven’s ear – A drawing in collaboration with…, 2011
31″ x 16″ x 1.5″ (shadowbox)
paper and pins

SOLD

ARTIST STATEMENT

 

The decision to make a drawing using the prints of the artists in the Beethoven Festival 2011 was made during a studio visit by exhibit curator Catinca Tabacaru. I was interested in the portrait of Beethoven based on his music. The thought that stayed with me when I tried to imagine Beethoven was that he was deaf.  This is a tribute to his ear. The piece was made to the sound of Yo-Yo Ma Beethoven Cello Sonata no.2 in G minor 1st mvt adagio (1/3).  The paper used in the work is prints of works by the artists in the Beethoven Festival 2011, Ludwig’s contemporary portraits, fragments of Beethoven’s sheet music and his handwriting.  I am very grateful to the artists in this group for being so generous and especially for their trust in using parts of their work to make this drawing.

Washington 6
Acrylic and oil on canvas

SOLD

Gail Stoicheff holds an MFA in painting from Bard College (2005), and a BFA from The Pennsylvania State University (2000).  Recent shows include: “Brooklyn Painters,” Bryan Gallery, NC (2009); “Gimme a Little Sign,” Sister Gallery, Los Angeles (2008); “Beyond Pastoral,” Gallery w52, NYC (2006) and “Despite the Sun,” Foxy Productions, NYC (2004).  She was the 2004 recipient of the prestigious Dedalus Foundation Master of Fine Arts Fellowship in Painting and The Elaine DeKooning Painting Award, and was recently the cover artist for the New England Review.

 

“Gail Stoicheff uses masking and stencils to create a sea of lines, which result in a fractured explosion of color.” -Amra Brooks, LA Weekly, June 21, 2007

Artist Statement

The work shown here—The Joker and The Three Georges are part of a larger body of work bound together loosely by themes of speech—more specifically, who is encouraged to be vocal and who/what is encouraged to be silent.

The Georges began after a trip to D.C. to attend Obama’s inauguration. In the National Portrait Gallery I was drawn to imagery of the ‘Founding Fathers,” particularly the Gilbert Stuart portrait of Washington. Washington—one of the most celebrated men in U.S. history, for whom the geographical political center of our country was named; Washington—a slave holder till his death, as were all of the founding fathers. I saw in his agreeable face the genesis of a nation that is always happy to silence the unpleasant. The resulting paintings evolved into a version of the Japanese pictorial maxim of the 3 monkeys.
