- Lot Description
Oscar Lakeman (Born 1949) American, Acrylic on Canvas 1990 "Containers". Vibrant semi realistic still life artwork with artist paint jars and brushes. Signed, titled, and dated 8/90 on the back. Robert Kidd Gallery Label.
Sold at DuMouchelles in November 2022.
Overall Size: 42 x 72 in.
Sight Size: 40 x 70 in.Oscar Lakeman takes a playful approach toward his subject matter, painting monumental brushes and jars in vibrant color. As he depicts each object, Lakeman presents us a fragmentary view of his studio. Each canvas references the aesthetic experience of the artist and the performance that activates each painting.
From his website "What to say?....I'm a painter not a writer.....but the story of the Container paintings sort of writes itself.
I was painting exclusively with an airbrush in the early 80's, and I was looking for something else to do. The airbrush is a great tool, but you never actually touch the canvas while painting....I wanted something less technical, more tactile, more directly involved with the paint and canvas.
I didn't want to give up the airbrush, but I wanted to use paint brushes and my hands and anything else to put the paint on the canvas.....I wanted to pour it, smear it, throw it, finger paint.. ....everything.... all in one.
So, in one of those moments in the studio, the answer presented itself. Right in front of me was the very thing I was looking for....the mess I make every day while I paint. The drips, and splatters, the brushes and jars, the cups....there was paint everywhere, smeared all over everything....the perfect subject!
Over the years, the subject of these still-life paintings has stayed the same, but the way I paint them has changed over and over....keeping them fresh for me, and I hope for you as well."#5873 .
