Sara, titanium white, buff titanium, Oil on Canvas, Roni Stretch (British, 1964) 60” x 44”British artist Roni Stretch was born in England in 1964. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.His work has been shown extensively in California since the 1990’s, including shows at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art at the Geffen Contemporary Museum, the Westmont Museum of Art in Santa Barbara, the Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Cooperstown Museum in New York.“My first response to Roni Stretch’s paintings was how extraordinarily exquisite and how original. I know of nothing quite like them in the history of modern, let alone traditional art- an ingenious, convincing integration of color field painting, minimalist structure, and photorealist portraiture,” writes Donald Kuspit. Kuspit, New York based art critic and author of numerous books, including the controversial “The End of Art.” Kuspit also remarks that “Stretch’s paintings are subtle, eloquent masterpieces, carrying forward the tradition of pure painting while acknowledging the inevitability of human presence and vision.”Stretch remains one of the most sophisticated painters of his generation. He has pioneered the Dichromatic Process, exploring photorealistic under-paintings that emerge ghost-like from a void of color. His Dichromatic oil paintings are meticulously created by executing a layering process where by two different colors are alternately applied and built up over many weeks. The subjects play against a sharply lined border intended to ground each painting in the physical and force a visual meditation. The image is not so much painted over as optically embedded within the multiple layers of the alternating colors. Stretch’s work is a lesson in contradictions: photorealism and abstraction, light and dark, reality and altered states, smooth and rough textures all ultimately leading to an emotional experience.Stretch’s works are held in numerous prestigious private, corporate and museum collections worldwide. He has recently been included in the permanent collections of the Pasadena Museum of California Art, the Museum of California Design, the Cooperstown Museum in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego.Stretch had his first solo museum show January 2016 at the MOAH, Museum of Art and History, Lancaster,California followed by a solo museum show in March 2017 at the W.Keith & Janet Kellog University Art Gallery, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

Cellist With Doves Zamy Steynovitz Signed Glicee - Mounted and Framed 47x56cm ZamySteynovitz was born in Liegnitz, Poland in 1951and at a very early age he aspired to be a painter. He won first prize in an art competition for children before immigrating to Israel in 1957. Formally educated at the Art School in Tel-Aviv and the Royal Academy in London, he completed his studies and began artistic pursuits in earnest. Zamy established his place in the art world after displaying his work in one-man exhibitions and art fairs around the world.Zamy’s art displays chromatic and thematic richness and his choice of subjects has been strongly influenced by Jewish tradition and folklore. Additionally, his work presents general themes such as Paris cafes, still lives, flowers, circuses and landscapes. In the early stages of his work, he used rich pastels and light brush strokes. When he visited South America in the early 1980’s, his work reflected his new surroundings and were further enhanced by local brightness and colorfulness. His art gained chromatic power; the palette became richer in tones, the textures thicker, and the background darker and more colorful. Together with these changes, the thematic persistence in his creation was maintained, allowing him to develop into a sensitive and mature artist.Zamy’s paintings are a reflection of his Eastern-European Jewish heritage, and they are enhanced by a rich choice of warm tones and colors. He evoked a universal humanistic idea in his creation; man’s connection to his heritage and physical surroundings. These are two imperatives aspects in our lives, which during these estranged technological times we should recall. As a result of his devotion to world peace, he became known in the circles of the Nobel Institute for Peace in Norway, and consequently was acquainted with many Nobel prize winners, such as Anwar Sadat, Menahem Begin, the Dalai Lama, Itzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Elie Wiesel, Desmond Tutu, Oscar Arias Sanchez, as well as many of the world’s greatest leaders and artists. Zamy tragically passed away in September of 2000

Ash 2 Mike Woods Original 'Oil On Canvas' Mounted and Framed 73x60cm Mike Woods was born in Hertfordshire in 1967. He studied fine art a Stevenage college in 1985 and t was during this time that he developed a fascination for oil painting spending much of the period drawing and painting from the model it was this, the greatest artist discipline of all which has allowed him to develop such a confident approach to his work.In 1986 he gained a place at Falmouth School of art where his painting were more intense he also became engrossed in making sculpture particularly wood and stone carving. In 1989 he gained his degree in fine art. The experience of working in the round with sculpture has given Mike has a remarkable talent for rendering the flat canvas with what seems to be three dimensional objects.The artist liked Cornwall so much during his time at college that he moved there with his wife who is also an artist and their two children.During 1988 he visited Italy and spent much of the time in Florence studying renaissance paintings and sculpture this period of study had a profound effect on him.Mike has developed his own very personal and distinct style of oil painting with the combination of subdued colours and seamless painting technique his pictures are quite remarkable. He has described his technique of painting in these terms “ I try to gain the effect that the canvas has been stained with paint in essence I am aiming to use my paint as thinly as possible finally mixing the oil paint to achieve a pure and clean saturation of colour, with no evidence of brush strokes”. The finished painting must have an unblemished service so as not to spoil the effect of form, light and shade, and the illusion of the still life objects.

Sunflowers John Holt Limited Edition 261/300 - Mounted and Framed 94x50cmOften being confused on a search engine request for namesake John Holt, the reggae music artist rather than the contemporary landscape artist we’re concentrating on here, our John Holt instantly diffuses the stressful situation with the presentation of his calming painted scenes of traditional harbours and such like. Although we’re pretty sure John Holt the musician would also chill us the shizzle out with his own brand of tuneage. Anyway, we digress. Art is the name and in this instance Provencal landscapes, café scenes, hill towns and harbour reflections are the very illustrated game, courtesy of the John Holt whose of the greater interest to us. Born and bred near Manchester in 1949, Holt won a place on the coveted BA (Hons) Advertising and Graphic Design course at Stockport College of Art whence he’d bode farewell to secondary education in his native North West.Going on to complete the final year of this degree course at Salford College of Art, Holt’s end of year work was honoured in the receipt of the prestigious Bursary Award, as handed over by no lesser body than the respected Royal Society of Arts. After successfully graduating with all creative guns blazing it would appear, Holt ventured into the commercial world of advertising as of 1973, and engaged in the role of Art Director for a prestigious agency, where his primary remit was the design and illustration of titles for the European market. It transpires that it was courtesy of this position and the exposure to Spanish and French post-Impressionist painters in particular that his interest and later, passion for the subject matter blossomed.Inspired by the works of art he witnessed Holt took it upon himself to visit both local and national art exhibitions around this time and quickly established a penchant for the creative works of the revered likes of Fauvist masters, Matisse and Braque. This new-found fascination with the illustrative genre and truly took a seismic hold of Holt and he knew he had to paint for himself, whilst harbouring a long term view of perhaps even painting for a living. Over the following weeks and months Holt set about laying the foundations to achieve just that, and started putting together a portfolio of individual pieces both for his own personal pleasure as well as with one eye to his future. Today, with titles such as ‘French Riviera, Café Provence, Sunflowers, Simaine’ and View of Mento’ forming signature parts of Holt’s impressive back catalogue, there’s no mistaking the preferred vistas and panoramas which the artist has routinely made his business to track down and then interpret in his own distinguished pictorial way over the intervening years and since turning professional.Holt’s work has been the subject of countless group and solo exhibitions both home and away, as his stock rose sharply in contemporary landscape circles as he quickly gained a foothold within the genre. Such was the success that Holt encountered from pretty much the outset that it was suggested that he found himself a fine art publisher in which to represent him in a crowded market place, and more pertinently someone with whom Holt could collaborate with in light of getting his work out there to a broader demographic. Obviously quality reproductions and limited edition prints of Holt’s originals were the best plan of immediate, commercially-orientated action, and it wasn’t long before demand for Holt’s original pastel and oil compositions were threatening to outstrip supply at that initial juncture.Thanks to an extensive publishing programme of his superb limited edition prints and dazzling original silk-screens, Holt rise to prominence in the mainstream public art-collecting arena gained momentum. In terms of Holt’s hallmark style and illustrative delivery, the Impressionism presentation which we touched on earlier set his specific pictorial scene going forward, and one which he still very much champions today; complete with a use of exuberant colouration, yet packaged with a certain degree of laid back charm. Speaking on this very matter, Holt offers the following insight into his thinking behind and considered approach to his paintings; “I have worked at giving my paintings a very special warmth of their own.As well as being evocations of particular places, my work is related to abstract ideas, executed in slabs of rich colour and texture”. Duly recognised and acknowledged by the industry which he serves well, Holt has been regularly nominated by the respected Fine Art Trade Guild, with this bestowed upon him in the category of ‘Best Up and Coming Artist’ in two successive years (1999 and 2000) amongst Holt’s honours.

Fenetre Ouverte Sur La Seine - Jean-Claude Picot Hand Embellished Serigraph, 22/100 Signed by the artist - Mounted and Framed 56x67cmSince 1956, Jean Claude Picot has been working exclusively as a professional artist. He is greatly influenced by the works of the Fauvist masters like Vlaminck, Derain, and Matisse, whose exuberant canvases drew great attention in the first decade of the 20th century for their revolutionary use of color, texture, and abstract form. These artists have inspired Picot for decades and you can find many similar characteristics in his work. Picot has developed a unique style that recalls a Post-Impressionist application of color, combined with the expressive qualities of form and line. His compositions are often calming, possessing his personal joie de vivre.He frequently captures the animation, romance, and essence of the landscape as his favored subject, although he also paints still lifes, cityscapes, markets, and festival scenes. All of his work is imbued with the same bright and cheerful character and is instantly identifiable. Since 1947 he has exhibited in over fifty one-person shows throughout the world including exhibitions in the United States, Belgium, Norway and Australia.Picot lives part of the year in the south of France and often draws on the Cote d’Azur – its visitors, beaches, and boat-filled harbors. His work abounds with natural beauty and features breathtaking panoramic views charged with the unique light of the Mediterranean. Picot works in a Post-Impressionist manner, reducing flowers, trees, houses, and figures to their essential forms. In the reviews of Picot’s most recent solo shows in Paris, Bordeaux and Oslo, the critics cited the affinities between the masters of Impressionism and early 20th Century Fauvism with Picot’s work.Today in the 21st Century, Picot continues the tradition of important French landscape painters. Picot actively works in many media – oil, acrylic, watercolor, etching, ceramic, and most recently, serigraphy and embellished serigraphy – which beautifully capture his vibrant color and painterly technique. His work is a favorite of collectors internationally and is represented in prestigious collections worldwide.

The Fiancee - Zamy Steynovitz Limited Edition 193/300 - Mounted 69x92cmZamy Steynovitz was born in Liegnitz, Poland in 1951and at a very early age he aspired to be a painter. He won first prize in an art competition for children before immigrating to Israel in 1957. Formally educated at the Art School in Tel-Aviv and the Royal Academy in London, he completed his studies and began artistic pursuits in earnest. Zamy established his place in the art world after displaying his work in one-man exhibitions and art fairs around the world. Zamy’s art displays chromatic and thematic richness and his choice of subjects has been strongly influenced by Jewish tradition and folklore. Additionally, his work presents general themes such as Paris cafes, still lives, flowers, circuses and landscapes.In the early stages of his work, he used rich pastels and light brush strokes. When he visited South America in the early 1980’s, his work reflected his new surroundings and were further enhanced by local brightness and colorfulness. His art gained chromatic power; the palette became richer in tones, the textures thicker, and the background darker and more colorful. Together with these changes, the thematic persistence in his creation was maintained, allowing him to develop into a sensitive and mature artist. Zamy’s paintings are a reflection of his Eastern-European Jewish heritage, and they are enhanced by a rich choice of warm tones and colors. He evoked a universal humanistic idea in his creation; man’s connection to his heritage and physical surroundings.These are two imperatives aspects in our lives, which during these estranged technological times we should recall. As a result of his devotion to world peace, he became known in the circles of the Nobel Institute for Peace in Norway, and consequently was acquainted with many Nobel prize winners, such as Anwar Sadat, Menahem Begin, the Dalai Lama, Itzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres, Elie Wiesel, Desmond Tutu, Oscar Arias Sanchez, as well as many of the world’s greatest leaders and artists.
