Untitled - After Rembrandt's Susanna and the Elders, Original Oil on Panel
By William Krüg
Located in Chicago, IL
This painting was inspired by Rembrandt's "Susanna and the Elders", especially Simon Schama's commentary on it, and the Me Too Movement. It depicts a vulnerable woman looking at the viewer, the male figure was derived from an Italian fascist sculpture. Rembrandt's painting depicts only one elder. It is assumed the other elder (or voyeur) is the viewer. This painting also contains references to global warming, surveillance capitalism and a thistle. According to the Penguin Dictionary of Symbols, thistles "like all prickly plants are a symbol of the protective belt defending the heart against external harm and attacks". This piece is framed in an ornately carved black wooden frame measuring 25.5h x 21.5w inches. William Krug...

By Bruno Surdo

This dynamic and masterful painting of two intertwined figures floating in an open space is an excellent example of the artist's talent with the human figure.

Richard J.S. Young - Contemporary British Oil, The Lovely Gaze
By Richard J.S. Young
Located in Corsham, GB
An excellent original contemporary oil on canvas, from British artist Richard J.S. Young. Depicting female figures in a mix of figurative and abstract styles, the expressive brushstrokes visible in the background contrast the more detailed faces of the figures. A verse taken from Shakespeare's Sonnet V 'The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell', sections off the canvas and creates a divide between the female figures and abstract shapes. Young says of his work "For me, my more interesting images are those that are cerebral and require some interpretation on the part of the viewer. Certainly, my exhibition pieces are like that. I am primarily a figurative artist, I enjoy drawing and painting the figure." Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers. Artist Biography: Born in the leafy suburbs of Woking, Surrey in 1954, Richard's family moved to Australia a year later where they settled near Adelaide, and then in Woomera in South Australia. It was in Australia that Richard first began to discover his passion for the arts. Living in Woomera's arid and dry landscape, Richard became fascinated by colour and abstraction, using the library as his inspiration. He revelled in books displaying the paintings of Impressionist artists, particularly the works of Cézanne and Matisse whose works offered a vibrant contrast to the landscape that surrounded him at the time. Young was particularly drawn by Turner's earlier landscapes and the pastiches that followed them, in particular the works of Mark Rothko. These influences stayed with Young throughout his life and career and he often consults the same books as a source of continual inspiration. Richard obtained a PhD in Chemical Physics at the University of Kent in Canterbury and has spent his life building a reputable career working in the field of solar energy. Young has stated that he had “chose to join his interests in art and science...I was inspired as a teenager by Leonardo Di Vinci...
