About the Item
Artist Comments
Inspired by a late-summer walk through New York's West Village, artist Nick Savides captures a storefront where oversized poppies bloom both inside the windows and on the sidewalk. A narrow glimpse of a trunk and soft shadows on the right hint at a larger tree just beyond view. The eye moves through the glass facade into the interior, then circles back outward. Figures appear in varying states, illuminated, obscured, or pictured.
About the Artist
Artist Nick Savides learned to paint from his mother when he was a child, but it wasn’t until college that he decided to be a career artist. His realist images of New York City are inspired by the drama of the metropolis–the changing light, the spontaneous magic. Nick begins his process with reference photographs from his daily life, often shooting the same scene at multiple times of the day. He brings the images back to his Brooklyn studio, where he composes a scene in Photoshop, adding and subtracting elements from multiple photographs to achieve the perfect composition before beginning to paint. “As my artwork is realistic, one might be tempted to think they are copies from nature,†says Nick. “Really, they are composed–every detail is considered. It is a balance between what is seen, what is true to nature, and what can make a good painting.â€

Artist Catherine McCargar illustrates alluring red flowers in a background of white. She captures the delicacy and transparency of gorgeous poppies she noticed in a local public garden. She creates a somewhat stylized arrangement of blooming stems. "It is punctuated by the addition of the buds as they dangle before bursting forth the seed capsules that remain after the petals drop," says Catherine.
