Cobra Painting by Danish Artist Erik Nyholm, Mixed Media & Oil Dated 1965
About the Item
Large and impressive mixed media painting by important Danish artist Erik Nyholm (1911-1990). The painting is made out of thick layers of paint and smaller objects, like iron screws and bolts, that are fixed with glue. The painting is framed in the original pine frame. The style can best be described as a kind of abstract expressionism with references to the "Cobra" group which Nyholm was associates with through his friendship with the Danish artist Asger Jorn and other members of the group. The painting is signed and dated on the backside.
Nyholm began in 1942-43 as a painter and executed his first ceramic works a decade later. He was decisively inspired by the personal contact with Asger Jorn and several of the key figures in the Cobra group (Appel, Corneille and Constant), with whom he improvised a decoration in his house in 1948. But it was not until the 1960s that he really began to translate his impressions into a spontaneous, physical painting, which again became the starting point for his actual form of expression, ceramics. Constantly experimenting with the glazes, he produced a series of ceramic works that united the free painterly expression with the classical ceramic forms, the dish and the jar. Often, the dishes are crossed by a stream of molten glass, surrounded by earth and gravel-like structures that recall the course of the stream through the landscape outside his workshop in Funder near Silkeborg. In recent years, he worked with very large structures of a sculptural nature, made at the workshop in Tommerup, which was established by one of his former students, Esben Lyngså Madsen. Asger Jorn saw N.'s work as a continuation of the tradition of potter-based artist ceramics, which began with, among other things, Thorvald Bindesbøll, and continued in his own experiments in 1952-53, some of which were carried out in N.'s oven.

Richard Texier Mixed Media Painting
By Richard Texier
Located in New York, NY
Fantastic mixed media painting by Contemporary French Artist Richard Texier. A combination of watercolor, ink and collage on paper this work was is called Marges. Signed upper right corner and dated. This painting was once part of GE's corporate art collection. Colors may vary slightly. Image size is 13 inches high by 8.50 inches wide.
Today Texier is regarded as one of the best living artists of his generation. He began painting at a young age and his keen interest in the history of astronomy is largely inspired by the creation of his own personnel cosmography. Known for both his paintings and sculptures he has installations throughout the world. His works are to be found in numerous important public and private collections, both in France and abroad. Many major museums around the world have exhibited his work including the National Museum of Taiwan, the National Museum of Luxembourg, the Marine Museum in Paris, the Botanical Museum of Brussels, the House of Culture Moscow and the Shanghai museum of Fine Art.
He has also graced the covers of Decorating Magazines especially in France.
HIs current contemporary large scale paintings retail between $28,000 and $64,000 both at auction houses like Christie's and Artcurial as well as galleries. His sculptures have even higher price points including two that reached $404,00 and $915,00. In addition he has also worked with Daum creating unique glass sculptures.
Since November 6, 2015, his red bronze sculpture: Angel Bear, more than 7 meters in height which portrays a bear with wings, is placed on the Gare du Nord square in Paris. It evokes the downward spiral of polar bears due to global warming, one of his favorite themes.
