About the Item
Artist Comments
On this piece I painted a little Dutch ceramic windmill souvenir with a small Delft blue windmill drawing. In the background there's another windmill scene: a copy of Jacob Van Ruisdael's 17th century painting "The Windmill at Wijk Bij Duurstede." I love the combination of a cloudscape and landscape in the same painting and all those wonderful details makes it one of my favorite landscape paintings.
About the Artist
Jose’s soft still life paintings are like visual puns. He creates relationships between objects that evoke both amusement and contemplation in the viewer. By devising a clever dialogue between objects, Jose turns a still life into a story. Jose utilizes a classical realist style with a gentle nod to surrealism through his unique subject selections. He is inspired by everyday objects, particularly those with a quality of nostalgia, memory, or humor. Jose paints out of his Los Angeles area apartment, where he also enjoys playing the keyboard and reading art books.

Artist Guigen Zha presents elements of Chinese cultural relics set upon a surrealist beach. A Tang Sancai, a type of pottery from the Tang Dynasty, sits prominently with its gilded handles. Together on the steps are an embroidered shoe worn by women and a pomegranate flower in full bloom. He paints a snail walking into a mural depicting cultural history. "The piece presents a reminder of the past and how time flies," says Guigen.About the Artist

- One Blossom One World. Peony & Deer I, Oil PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"A flower is small, but it is also a world of its own," says artist Guigen Zha. He paints a surreal image of a flower growing from bud to bloom. A parallel metaphor of human life from birth to death plays out in the scene. Guigen displays a peony, a deer, and a human expressing the interconnection and interdependence of all things in a utopian world.About the Artist
