About the Item
Skull, Original Signed Contemporary Black and Green Painting
18" x 18" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist. Finished with a gloss varnish.
A black background allows the subject matter of this acrylic painting by artist Lindsay Hall, a human skull, to both pop forward and recede into the background. There is an amount of chiaroscuro happening on the left side of the skull, keeping it in shadow, falling into the depths. An item in a cabinet of curiosities, this memento mori work serves as a pausing point to sit and reflect on one's own mortality. The green tones to the white of the skull give this work an interesting dimensionality to it, almost imbuing it with life, ironically. The black background is reminiscent of artists like Caravaggio and the subject matter is highly reminiscent of Van Gogh's Skull of a Skeleton with a Burning Cigarette.
Artist Commentary:
I painted this when I lived in Richmond, VA above an oddities shop. Being in such close proximity to various curiosities like taxidermied animals, preserved animal organs, coffins, and the like definitely kept my mind in the spooky mood all year round. The building itself was black and had a giant grim reaper and tombstone murals painted on the side of it so every month felt like October while living there. I loved the shop and frequented it often, usually just to browse the vast collection and purchase incense. Though the shop didn't have an actual human skull, at least that I can recall, it definitely made me think about my own mortality. I was also in art school at the time and learning a lot about anatomy and bone structure so it all kind of melded together to inspire this skull.

My Chanel Bag, 48"x60", Still Life Painting, Semi-Abstracted, Black & White
By Andrea Stajan-Ferkul
Located in Mississauga, Ontario
Inspired by the iconic French Fashion Brand, Chanel, this painting finds balance between realistic representation and interpretive impressions. Extensive detail interacts with loose, textured brush strokes adding visual interest up close and from a distance. With emphasis on composition, the high contrast black and white palette makes for a simple yet dramatic outcome.
