About the Item

Selvas Negras n°2 is a unique pencil and charcoal on canvas painting by contemporary artist Calo Carratalá, dimensions are 200 cm × 300 cm (78.7 × 118.1 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Two men are shown operating a boat on a river in the Amazonian Jungle in this piece of art. The overlay of pencil lines and the intensity of the black colour emphasize the atmosphere's calm but dense appearance. The "Jungle" series by Spanish artist Calo Carratalá depicts his interpretation of the Amazonian rainforest, which he has visited on numerous expeditions in Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Using his own experiences and the feelings the location evokes, Calo Carratalá recreates the landscape. He has lived in a forest and has fully assimilated it, as seen in his paintings and drawings. Without explicitly saying so, the artist questions how we relate to nature and the conflicting emotions it can elicit, such as fascination and fear. Contemporary painter Calo Carratalá was born in 1959 near Valencia, Spain, and specialises in figurative paintings of natural landscapes. He has travelled widely to destinations from the Amazon to Norway and developed a romantic view of nature, extolling its beauty and the power of the elements that make it up. Travel is at the heart of the artist’s creative process: he immerses himself in the places he visits in order to paint them.

ABSTRACT Painting Black Color Contemporary Spanish Artist Beñat Olaberria 2023
By Beñat Olaberria
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Colt Seager (b. 1993) is an American painter and sculptor based near Chicago, IL. Drawing inspiration from the inherent holiness and tranquility of the natural world, Seager’s work is deeply rooted in a process-based approach that reflects his reverence for the environment. The textures, layers, and expressive mark-making techniques he employs are a direct and visceral response to the landscapes of the Midwest. Through his art, he explores the dynamic interplay between process, form, and space, creating intuitive compositions that balance formal and organic elements seamlessly. Seager’s approach to art is both methodical and spontaneous, allowing his works to evolve naturally over time. He emphasizes the importance of construction and deconstruction in his creative process, believing that the true essence of his art comes to life through this duality. His works are an invitation to viewers to enter a contemplative space, where abstraction and form blend harmoniously. Seager states, "I see my work as it evolves naturally—it develops through construction but comes alive through its deconstruction. My goal is to offer an invitation into the thin place through abstraction, contemplation, exploration of form, and the rhythm of making marks—allowing one mark to carry into another—and in so doing, allow for a holy space where the divine transcends closer to earth." Through this philosophy, Seager aims to create artworks that resonate on a deeper, almost spiritual level, encouraging viewers to find their own connections to the divine and the natural world. His pieces are not just visual experiences but meditative journeys that invite introspection and a deeper appreciation of the beauty that surrounds us. Originally from Spain, Beñat Olaberria...
