About the Item

Bruce Lauritzen has been making art since he was old enough to scribble on walls. At eight years old he was introduced to adult figure drawing at the College of Marin ''barn'' under Moya del Pino, a well known figurative muralist. He attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, Calif. He later received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Artist Statement I've spent a lifetime at the easel. Art is my passion and my nourishment. It centers me, keeps me alive. My mediums include everything from the delicacy of watercolor, to the richness of oil, to experimental, texture-laden surfaces on canvas. I insist on keeping myself open to any new concept, any new approach that occurs to me, even though I tend to paint in series, which may last for a year or a decade. "Formula" art is not for me. Every new piece is an experiment, an adventure. My subject matter may be sparked by a sudden inspiration from my immediate environment, or may creep up from a subconscious internal place. The 'Bull,' inspired by my trips to Spain, provided an emblematic and metaphoric subject, the eternal contest between man and beast. Also the 'Horse,'an icon of civilization, has been a presence in my life since I was a child. I am paying homage to both in this current show. Although I was born in San Francisco, I grew up in Marin County when it was more rural than suburban. West Marin, where I have lived now for twenty years, provides me the opportunity to thrive in fresh air, unencumbered by noise and traffic, and where, incidentally, we are surrounded by horses and bovines. Designing our home, studio, and landscaping provided our custom habitat, as well as my "sculptural" outlet. I love to smell the earth and see things grow... and keep making art. On the edge of the sea, between forest and rolling hills, what more could one ask for? (Don't tell anybody.)

'Worship of the Moon, ' by Katrina Dordevic, Acrylic on Canvas Painting
By Katarina Dordevic
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This 38" x 26.25" acrylic on canvas painting by artist Katarina Dordevic refers to the transformation of the form and visual integrity, the conversion of samples displaced from the authentic temporal and spatial frames. The objects in the painting cannot be directly linked to the content of the literary origin or motif. These segments are quotes of descriptive elements from prehistoric votive sculptures of idols (the Paleolithic culture from Lepenski vir, the oldest urban settlement in Europe, situated at the banks of the Danube river, around 8,5 millennia old. They were shaped as unique anthropomorphic entities that represented presumably river deities. The meanings that were given to these symbolical sculptures changed over time, but the strange expression of the stone idols...
