**First Time At Auction**
Stan Solomon (American, b. 1946). Untitled painted wooden cubes, spacer & wooden pedestal, 2006. Signed and dated on both cubes. A mesmerizing artwork by "neo-geo" artist Stan Solomon comprised of four pieces: two painted cubes, a black square spacer set between the cubes, and a painted four-legged pedestal stand with a woven fiber upper surface. The painted compositions on the 4 side faces of the smaller cube each feature floating colorful celestial orbs that connote outer space and lead the viewer's gaze to an arched window with a surreal, futuristic landscape beyond, all in a view of an interior with a black and white checkerboard floor delineated in linear perspective and a wall of either blue, green, pink, or orange hues. The top face of that cube presents a single yellow orb floating upon a circle embellished with a black, grey, and white checkerboard pattern surrounded by quadrants or blue, green, pink, and orange that continue from the side faces. The paintings on the 4 side faces of the larger cube each present brightly colored tropical fish swimming among aquatic plants that are just as colorful, all framed by a black and white checkerboard border. The top face of that cube presents a lone black-dotted coral pink seashell on a circle within a square that are both embellished with a black and white checkerboard motif. The bottom faces of both cubes present quadrants in black and white. Finally, the wooden pedestal stand is embellished with a black and white checkerboard pattern against a black ground, and its upper surface is embellished with tightly woven fibers. A magnificent piece by the one and only Stan Solomon. Size: 12" L x 12" W x 62.75" H (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 159.4 cm)
About the artist: "Born in New York City and living in St. Louis, Missouri, Stan Solomon works with acrylic paint and creates images in a style best described as neo-geo. His intention is to make the viewer feel like he or she is taking a voyage in outer space 'where they see brightly colored spheres and geometric forms that make up the fantastic 21st century images' of a futurist painter. Included in most of his images is the silhouetted head of a dog and an HB number located on the bottom of each piece. This number refers to the number of paintings that Solomon has completed since the disappearance of his dog named Honie Bonie.
Solomon is a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography in California and New York Institute of Technology. Between academic degrees, Stan served his country with a tour of duty in Japan. After The Brooks Institute, Stan taught photography at Every Woman's Village. A career in freelance Photography occupied five years of Stan's creative endeavors. A Renaissance man in the truest sense, Stan Solomon is a self-taught artist. Energetic colors and shapes define vividly detailed background spaces. Bold chroma acrylics define a signature theme that echoes throughout the breadth of this artist's prolific body of work." (askART)
