Sam Francis: Pure Expression
August 1, 2013 Seeing the art of American Abstract Expressionist Sam Francis is nothing less than an adventure. Vibrant colors hit the canvas like notes from a jazz musician, with white space representing time and tempo. In time, the white space would come to dominate more of Sam Francis’ paintings.

Hirst’s knack for sensationalizing common objects and leveraging his celebrity status often place him alongside Warhol, Haring and other popular artists. Read more -

The Oil Paintings of Anna Halldin-Maule
April 12, 2013 In Anna Halldin-Maule’s Her New Religion, the newest work showcased in our Boca Raton art gallery, the piece shares an attribute of all great hyperrealism, asking the viewer to first reconcile the fact it is indeed oil on canvas. Regarding the meaning and significance of the work, the title and the subject's skyward gaze work harmoniously to convey the pairing of prayer and materialism. Read more
