“In her group portraits, Berrío routinely includes at least one of her figures—typically a woman—staring directly out at the viewer. Here, despite the tilt of her head, the central woman maintains direct eye contact with the viewer, engaging them in a silent dialogue. Surrounding this dominant central figure with a baby balanced comfortably on her…

The Last Goodbye – A Memorial Day Tribute
In “Oriental Poppies,” O’Keeffe depicts two giant poppy flowers. Measuring 30″ x 40″, this oil painting is an explosion of brilliant colors on a vast canvas, lending a mesmerizing effect. O’Keefe used dazzling red and orange as the main color of the petals. The hollowed centre and the inner contours of the flowers are painted…
Chu Teh-chun: The Unexpected
“Blue is the most spirited colour in nature, it is filled with poetic subtlety as well as all-encompassing amiability, blue belongs to all life, and the earliest life was born from blue – in the ancient oceans.” – Chu Teh-Chun “In 1990, Chu Teh-Chun moved to a large studio in Vitry-sur-Seine, just outside of Paris….
O’Keeffe and Irish Celtic Fiddle Music
“The present work is one of four images O’Keeffe painted of the spectacular waterfalls in the Īao Valley on Maui. Though her subject here is entirely unique within her celebrated oeuvre of natural scenery, the lens through which she interprets it evokes her profound, almost spiritual reaction to the landscape, the quality that pervades the…
Jose Joya: Landscape
“Painted in 1966, Landscape was created at the height of Jose Joya’s career, amidst some of his most triumphant accomplishments. Characteristic of Joya’s work in the 60s, this well-balanced composition bears textural impasto and gestural black calligraphic lines, contrasted against the fluid tones of blue with shades of green flecked with orange and brown. The…
Chu Teh-chun: Crossing
“His handling of colours to represent elements of light and dark were seamlessly executed in Crossing (lot 334) – appearing for the first time at auction, this is an iconic example created at the height of Chu’s mature period. The free and uncontrolled brushstrokes wielded on canvas are all crafted with great skill and precision,…
Optimism: Happy New Year 2025
“The paintings of Chu Teh-Chun dated between 2004 and 2006 present images that convey more to the viewer than the artist’s personal preferences or the pursuit of a more dynamic style. Rather, Chu examines each work in the hopes of further developing their uniqueness individually. Through the utmost strikingly abstract landscapes, the viewer is able…
Chu Teh-Chun: Tender Memories
“The pastel blue background in Tendres Souvenirs (Tender Memories) resembles the fleeting past, and the various overlapping brushstrokes placed on top are reminiscent of the artist’s happy and carefree experiences. Various shades of blue are used to denote the big and small events in his life, and the blackish brown colour blocks at the bottom…
Franz Schubert: Trout Quintet
“Chu Teh-Chun once said that “Kandinsky’s creation of abstract art drew inspiration from Cézanne theories on painting, which in turn came from musical expression”. Elan dans l’inspiration perfectly encapsulates this impression, where the musicality of Chu-Teh Chun’s art is on fully display. As a classical music enthusiast, Chu has always been deeply entranced by music,…
Playing For Change: Stand By Me
“O’Keeffe’s flower paintings of the 1920s are among her most innovative and original contributions to early 20th century American art and to the ongoing discourse of modern art later in the century. As Elizabeth Glassman observes, “Her art does not represent an age gone by, but rather, the brilliance of an American painter whose intuitions…

Benedict Enwonwu: Contemporary African Art
“The sinuous abstraction of a silhouette of the regal female represented his ideal of African culture; beautiful, powerful and full of creative potential. …While geometrically abstracted, the depiction of robes that the figure is adorned with communicates this work as highly significant within Enwonwu’s oeuvre. … In this extraction, Enwonwu displays his commitment to displaying…

Camille, Chopin, and O’Keeffe
O’Keeffe had learned from her studies with Arthur Dow that in oriental art “the same theme appears again and again with new beauty, with different quality and complex accompaniments,” an observation she put to practical use by repeatedly painting the same subject with constantly changing results. O’Keeffe wrote, “I work on an idea for a…

2Cellos: Benedictus
In Douce quietude A…, Chu used free, uncontrolled brushstrokes to draw high, rugged mountains in the middle of the painting, creating a powerful image. He puts a lot of emphasis on the fluidity and movement of the brushstrokes. Flowing brushstrokes are developed from Chinese calligraphy and feel automated and spontaneous. Comparing this piece of work…

Martha Argerich Plays Beethoven
“Chu created a series of artworks in the 1990s that explored shadows and light, forms and colours, as he began to shift towards inner explorations, which the artist described as “roaming among my memories.” … The painting presented here, is a large-scale work from the series that epitomizes the artist’s fluidity with light and masterful…
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: Revelations
“Line is an important element in painting; it composes the forms and demonstrates the brushwork of an artist. Chu’s brushstrokes are rapid and ever-changing, with varied speeds, weights and rhythms. Lively and energetic, Chu’s brushwork scales the image like a dancing snake. He once said, “I am from the East, and there are a lot…
Georgia O’Keeffe: Anthurium
“In the present work, O’Keeffe skillfully renders the heart-shaped flower’s waxy texture and creates sharply delineated contours with her assured brushstrokes. She utilizes vibrant hues of red and green to imbue the composition with a sense of vitality and dynamism. By reducing extraneous details, O’Keeffe emphasizes the natural beauty of the flower and compels her viewer…
Fazil Say: Le Coucou (Daquin)
“…Swiss author Jacques Chessex wrote, “Here, a kind of unbelievable meditation on the sublimation of things occurs and develops into fullness, as the space within the painting brings forth a delightful, sweet spectacle.
