About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
Steve Huston worked construction to support himself through college. That experience seems to have heightened his aesthetic interest in depicting the strength inherent in physical labor for many of his paintings show partially nude men and their muscularity. "Untitled" is set up as a nostalgic scene when a young boy seems lost or is reflective about the possibility of becoming a powerfully strong boxer. There is a lovely sweetness and tenderness about the child himself and his dreams. He looks to be about 10 years of age, skinny, over large gloves, and feet wrapped in floating white fabric. What choices will he make? Where will he be in 10 years? An exquisitely rendered painting.
Steve Huston is an internationally renowned painter and draftsman. He was born and raised in Alaska and studied at Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design, while working construction each summer to pay his tuition. Even before graduating with his BFA, Huston began illustrating for such clients as Caesar’s Palace, MGM, Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios among others. Huston began teaching life drawing and painting, composition and anatomy; first at his alma mater, then at the Disney, Warner Brothers, and Dreamworks Studios. He began his career as a fine artist in 1995, winning top prizes at the California Art Club Gold Medal Show that year and the following. Huston continues exhibiting his work widely.

View All"Adam and Eve Triptych" Contemporary Surrealism with Hieronymous Bosch Attitude
By Renata Palubinskas
Located in Detroit, MI
"Adam & Eve Triptych" is a contemporary painting with surrealist elements such as the eyes in the clouds, the unknown and unknowable creatures painted and the biblical scene alluded to by the title. There is a definite Hieronymus Bosch attitude expressed by the creature in the first panel and the last panel. The sweetest creature is Eve as a very young, but nonetheless, suspicious and perhaps manipulative woman.
Renata Palubinskas was born in 1968 in Kaunas, Lithuania, at the time still in the Soviet Union as the Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic. She received her diploma in Fine Art and Restoration from St. Zukas Technium of Applied Arts in 1989. After working at the M.K. Ciurlionis State Museum of Art, she emigrated to the United States in the 1990s, basing herself in Detroit.
Renata's work rethinks historic iconography while intentionally addressing the modern world through a new perspective. The characters in her paintings are often caught between the struggle of good and evil. That struggle represents the choice of trying to obtain immediate gratification or realization of the self, and the haunting life experiences with latent possibilities for death.
Renata uses schematic compositions with purposefully positioned figures and other visual elements. To attract attention to the most significant figures, she often ornate their garments with intricate patterns. They are typically placed in either a serene landscape or an interior setting with a threatening presence around them.
Her work has been exhibited in Collected Detroit...

"Esther Before the King" Biblical Scene in Contemporary Setting, Drama, Colors
Located in Detroit, MI
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
This captivating painting by an unknown artist takes the famous 17th century painting Esther before Ahasuerus by Artemisia Gentileschi and recontextualizes it for the modern era. In the original Old Testament story as depicted by Gentileschi, Esther, the Jewish wife of the king Ahasuerus went to him without being summoned after the king ordered the execution of all Jewish people in the Persian Empire. She asked him to spare her people, breaking court etiquette and risking almost certain death before fainting before the king. In this work we have the king of his house in his yellow recliner...
