George Rodrigue
Black on My Back

1992

About the Item

An absolutely incredible mixed media original on canvas board by George Rodrigue from the prime of his career. This piece features a hand pulled silkscreen of the Blue Dog by the hand of the artist, with heavy painting and additions to the Blue Dog. The piece features a hand painted black and purple background, with lines to excentsiate the iconic blue dog, fun additions to the Blue Dog's eyelashes to add a bit of flair, and light blue additions to create depth in paint. The piece is offered in the same hand painted blue frame undertaken by the artist's personal framer, which provides a further pop of color and adds to the unique style of this singular work! Signed in blue paint on the Blue Dog, "Rodrigue." Also signed and titled en verso "Black on My Back, Rodrigue, 1992."

  • California Native Glitch - Textural Large Original Painting
    By Kate Tova
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Vibrant, large-scale multimedia artworks incorporate reflective mediums and thick textures in Kate Tova's recent work. Colors splash across the page melding into flourishes of sequins, rhinestones, and glitter. The natural beauty of her subjects is juxtaposed against the "engine of technology" inspiring personal and innovative compositions. Surreal and vibrant, Tova's work thematically and stylistically layers her life experiences. This 37-inch high by 72-inch artwork is a hand-embellished giclee on canvas. Hand-embellishment involves the application of additional paint or other materials onto the surface of the giclee print by the artist. By adding these personalized touches, the hand-embellished giclee becomes a one-of-a-kind piece. The artwork is signed by the artist on the front and the back. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique work. Bringing forth inspiration from her varied experiences Tova is inspired by the layers of her life's experiences. From the lavishly gilded architecture of her early years to the vibrant palette of New Orleans, Tova now works in San Fransisco where themes of her work draw from technology and the Information Era. Kate has earned awards and critical acclaim participating in art exhibitions in Vienna, Berlin, New York, Prague and other cities around the world. Tova’s commissions have ranged from ceiling and wall murals in Moscow restaurants to live painting performances at fundraisers and venues such as the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. Her art has appeared on the covers of foreign music records, been published in international magazines, and even inspired a jewelry collection.

  • Pop Audrey Locket
    By Alea Pinar Du Pre
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Alea Pinar Du Pre's original mixed media artworks portray human figures in a graphic pop-realist style. An enterprising autodidact merging technology and fine art, her vibrant contemporary pop-figurative artworks colorfully explore the territory between human reality and artificial reality. Her paintings portray the fact that our perceptions of solid reality are deceptively virtual. This unique collage is a part of her "Locket" series, as she explains: "We consist of the same atoms, created billions of years ago in a supernova. And here we are living and breathing and experiencing life, and we think we are all so different. I think we are all the same, it’s just that are masks and poses are different. I love humanity and this game we are playing. With snapshot, I am trying to capture the unawareness of the fact that we are the greatest wonder of the universe". This one-of-a-kind 34 inch tall by 26 inch wide oval artwork...
