About the Item

Pair of Jokers by Nicholas Thompson. Two large oil on board paintings of two women holding playing cards, with a homage to Jackson Pollock featuring Pollock’s signature by Thompson on the right side.

Shows the influence of Pauline Boty (1938-66), a British Pop Art painter in the early 60s. Each painting is 91cm by 122cm high.

Heavily influenced by the Fauvist movement of the early 20th century - John Paul seeks to eternally question and challenge viewers.

"Ikebana" Kite by Michael Thompson
By Michael Thompson
Located in Chicago, IL
Based in Chicago, IL, contemporary artist Michael Thompson creates unique kites, collages and mixed media works assembled from material fragments of past and present collected in his travels. His ongoing series of large-scale kites bridge the gap between flat art and sculpture, each crafted of split bamboo frames covered with stretched muslin and a collage of vintage ephemera – including kimonos, obis, paintings, scrolls, drawings, metal leaf, bleeding paper, book pages, or anything with a story to tell. In this bamboo kite entitled “Ikebana,” Thompson beautifully layers darkly saturated fragments atop pages of found text. A repurposed calligraphy scroll panels the left side, brushed with black ink with full flower blossoms and leafy foliage, while delicate pine branches grow upwards from the bottom. Vintage Japanese block prints...
