Rincon Tipico

Often depicting the areas of his hometown in Spain, especially Catalonia, Spain, Jose Vives-Atsara painted village scenes depicting the rural settings of his childhood.

“A rough and tumble five year old cowboy thunderously galloped his imaginary horse through his home in the Catalonian region of Spain and out in the lush green yard.”- John Connally, opening sentence in the introduction of the publication- Jose Vives-Atsara His Life and His Art. 

Six structures of Spanish tiled roofs intermittently besprinkle architectural elements across the Catalan landscape.  Jose makes note to accent the white facades of the buildings, laying the ground for a metaphorically pure environment; subject to his own biased perceptions of rural grandeur.  Leaving us to walk through the cobblestone pathways, our impressionistic constructs of Spain are met with cooler blues and a lazily but empyrean sky.

His signature palette knife technique is flawless in the application of oils.  Quick movements are captured in his appliqué of textures to the building on the right side-placing earth tones in layers; emphasizing the receding sunlight and its intense shadows. Absent of any figurative constituents, the importance is anchored on the fact we can immerse ourselves in this mountainside estate; feeling welcome and sensing endearment- All though the art of Jose Vives-Atsara. ©

Sunset Near Llano

Sunset near Llano
Jung Yoon

Price: $2,500.00

Jung Yoon, a Korean artist of masterly proportions celebrates the landscapes of countryside beauty with a work titled: Sunset near Llano. A purview of bluebonnets and lush vegetation, Yoon throws a compositional loop our way. Off to the upper right we see a well worn beaten path, unimportant to the picture; a river mimics the reflective curve and “c” shape of road; creating an artistically haphazard “x”. Instead of the typical horizon line at the center of the composition, Yoon places the skyline higher up; the perspective is contradistinct from his general practice- constructing a bottom heavy pictorial that emphasizes the large field of flowering foliage.

However, minus all this efflorescence lays the heart of this painting- the upper quarter quadrant of seeping sunlight and majestic sun setting. Notice the canary speckled forest, spotted by the radiance emitting from under the cloud cover. Yoon, a maestro of illumination, plugs in more heavenly emotion into the baby blue sky and goldenrod brume than anywhere else in this impressionistic landscape painting. ©
