Joshua Salami
I Am Not Alone 2

2022

About the Item

"I Am Not Alone" by Joshua Salami is a captivating artwork that delves into the profound bond between a woman and her cherished pet, transcending the conventional role of a companion. The piece skillfully captures the essence of the fundamental importance of pets as friends, emphasizing the unique and special connection shared between the two. At the heart of the artwork is a portrayal of a lady immersed in a beautiful, strong, and appealing atmosphere, accompanied solely by her beloved pet. The scene not only celebrates the companionship of a pet but also elevates it to a level of deep emotional connection and understanding. The pet in focus isn't just any companion but holds the status of being the woman's favorite, to the extent that she affectionately refers to him as her "boyfriend." This clever twist in the narrative adds layers of meaning to the artwork, emphasizing the strength of the bond and the intimate nature of the relationship. The choice of referring to the pet as a "boyfriend" goes beyond the ordinary and underscores the extent to which pets can become an integral part of one's life, providing not only companionship but also emotional support and understanding. Salami's work skillfully captures the silent communication and mutual understanding that exists between the lady and her pet. The use of visual elements creates a narrative that resonates with viewers, inviting them to reflect on the unique and irreplaceable roles that pets can play in our lives. "I Am Not Alone" stands as a testament to the power of the human-animal bond and the comfort that can be found in the company of a beloved pet.

"Another Dress Rehearsal" Oil on Canvas Fantasy Surreal celebrated London artist
By George Underwood
Located in Southampton, NY
In continuing with representing fine artists that are connected to the music industry we are please to announce that we are the only gallery in the United States representing the oil on canvas paintings of acclaimed British artist George Underwood. That is great news for collectors based in the United States. They do not have to pay any import fees or international shipping costs or any international tariffs which are costly. So this is a great opportunity to purchase a work of art by this acclaimed British artist. His paintings have been described as Magical with a touch of Fantasy. When David Bowie, a life long friend of George Underwood, was asked about the paintings of George Underwood, Bowie said "George has, over the years, refined his work to the point where I would put him among the top figurative painters coming out of the UK.... There's a sublime isolation surrounding his subjects that really touches the viewer, the figures being both heroic and vulnerable simultaneously". George Underwood, a life-long friend of David Bowie, were in early bands together and Underwood was asked by Bowie to created the classic cover artwork for David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" album and also for David's "Hunky Dory" album. George felt that his friend artist Terry Pastor would better create the hand colored airbrush look for the album covers so he had Terry create the cover artwork. A fun fact is that David and George were both in the same art class taught by Peter Frampton's Dad when they were youngsters and they remained great friends throughout David's life. I have included some images of Bowie and George Underwood over the years in this listing to show the close relationship they had since they were young lads. This oil painting by George Underwood is titled "Another Dress Rehearsal...
