About the Item
Artist Comments
The setting sun brushes a desert with direct light. In this hour, only the most vital realities of the scene stand out to the quiet observer. The air seems to vibrate with rapidly increasing changes in hues and values as the sun sinks. Here, at the close of the first quarter of the twenty-first century, we are witnesses to so many changes occurring with ever-increasing speed and urgency. The ubiquitous gas station is currently a convenience store. Soon, it will be something else entirely.
About the Artist
Artist Mitchell Freifeld depicts architecture that evokes memory and nostalgia. Using a modernist approach, he highlights details that often fade into the background of familiarity. With his camera, he meticulously documents the world around him, using his shots as a reference for his art. "My works are the product of a process that is more intuitive than intellectual and a passion for simple, modern architecture and light," says Mitchell. After winning his first juried show at 10, Mitchell's lifelong dream of becoming a full-time artist took root. A pivotal moment in 2001 prompted him to seize the chance and devote himself to art-making. Now, he dedicates most of his time to a compact studio within his garage in Portland, Oregon. Mitchell's life revolves entirely around his creative pursuits, taking pictures, and working seven days a week with paints and brushes.
