Artist of the moment…………Eske Kath

 

Eske Kath is a wonderful painter born in Haderslev, Denmark in the year 1975. Kath attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts located in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Kath enjoys using the house as a symbol of conflict between man and nature. In many works the houses are shown in flight compliments of Mother Nature and her winds. His work is very modernist in that most items are reduced to basic geometric shapes, trees become simple triangles.

The artist is now based out of Brooklyn, New York.

In this clip we view a sculpture of falling houses made by Eske Kath:

The artist was commissioned to paint a ceiling at the Palace of the Crown Prince of Denmark.

Price range information: Prices range from $1,000 for a lithograph to $10,000 for an original.

What a great sense of color and style by Kath. Similar to Jeremy Browne the previous post, Kath often works with very old and worn down houses that show that Mother Nature is always the long term winner in battles between land and man.

Artist of the moment…………..Jeremy Browne

 

 

Jeremy Browne is a wonderful painter of barns and the landscape. Browne was born in Brampton, Ontario and spent much of his childhood exploring the outdoors.

The artist’s family would often travel to the national parks to enjoy the weekend and whilst going there the drive was plain and barren with sometimes only one house might be all you see for miles. This gave the artist some ideas for composing his cozy farm scenes.

Browne works mainly in acrylics.

For seasonality the artist prefers to paint the fall and winter seasons. He finds it easier to convey mood and concentrate on the flow of light during the desolate times.

The artist has a great palette to paint his farm scenes. With earth tones and grey skies as his basis any splashes of color are more vibrant.

Price range information: Sorry none available.
