About the Item

'Interrupted Still Life' original colorful and joyous floral watercolor painted in 2018 - 2019. Large work at 40 x 60 inches, in multi-color including an explosion of red, blue, green, yellow, purple and gold. The flower filled vases appear to be tumbling, caught in flight, which is one of Bukovnik's favorite compositions for large works. An uplifting painting to experience in person, from Cleveland-born and educated Gary Bukovnik who has lived in California for over 40 years. Bukovnik’s art conveys a monumental quality. Primarily using the mediums of watercolor, monotype, and lithograph, Bukovnik fuses sensual vitality with fluid yet powerful colorations, creating floral images of great depth and intensity. The paper is 40 x 60 inches. Framed maple with an outer edge 45 x 65 inches. This is a stunning and wonderful work of art from American artist, Gary Bukovnik. Newly professionally framed in clear maple hard wood stem moulding. The work floats on white museum matting. Contemporary, clean and delightful. All archival materials used throughout. . In 2003 and 2005, the American Academy in Rome invited Bukovnik to attend the academy as a Visiting Artist and provided him with a room and studio for six weeks. In 2001, he was selected to create a poster for the prestigious List Collection, which creates posters to commemorate programs at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York.
