Painting by Mark Kostabi
Sustain, 2002
Oil painting on canvas. Signed and dated lower right. Further signature, date and title on the back. Mark Kostabi, Californian painter, writer, composer, pianist and producer, paints faceless, timeless figures, which can be all of us and none of us, express the fear of man in society, but also a universal language. This artist with a strong business sense, as Andy Warhol teaches, universalizes the subjects of his art with clear homages to the great Masters of the history of Art. He said of himself: "My goal has always been to create the most interesting art possible. My art should enrich the life of those who observe it, whether a visitor looking at my paintings in a museum, or a collector who looks for a long time at a Kostabi in his home, or of a group of students who reflect on one of my murals, increasingly numerous, created for a public service. My images give joy, even if they tell stories of loneliness, confusion and isolation". The work is presented in a frame.
