"Untitled" - Original Textured Portrait Oil Painting - Darker Tones with Red
By Duan Zhaonan
Located in Carmel, CA
Duan Zhaonan (Chinese, born 1955)
"Untitled" 2022
Oil paint on canvas, stretcher bars
The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting.
This untitled work by Duan Zhaonan is a powerful example of the artist’s psychologically charged portraiture. The face emerges through dense, layered brushwork, built from muted grays, earthen browns, and flashes of raw white that feel scraped and reworked over time. The eyes are heavy and inward, the mouth marked with a deep, rusted red, giving the figure a sense of gravity and lived experience. Rather than aiming for likeness, Duan constructs presence. The portrait feels weathered, contemplative, and unresolved, inviting prolonged looking.
About the Artist:
Duan Z. was born in Yunnan, China, and is now a renowned figure in Chinese Opera, Specializing as a Painter, Educator, Playwright, and Producer. He serves as Director of the Chinese Dramatic Literature Society and Chairman of the American Chinese Culture Artists Association. Since 1986, Duan has been writing about in more than twenty regular columns under the title “Duan’s Opera Figure...

15 Minutes
By Daniel Maltzman
Located in Laguna Beach, CA
Born and raised in Beverly Hills, California, Daniel Maltzman has always been interested in pop culture and advertisement. His early career consisted of promoting the hottest clubs in Hollywood and running a successful business in the fashion industry. A switch to the art world was natural for Maltzman as his obsession with creativity and expression only grew with his exposure to the art scene that so profoundly impacted Los Angeles nightlife.
Much of Maltzman’s inspiration draws from his relationships with people who have fast-paced lifestyles, fame, and fortune. Maltzman is also fascinated by Los Angeles’ contemporary urban settings and street style aesthetics. Mixing acrylics with spray paints and juxtaposing graphic images amongst figurative depictions, Daniel Maltzman’s work is captivating and richly dynamic. Striking colors and bold mark-making show evidence of Mark Grotjahn’s influence on Maltzman’s work, and admiration for Andy Warhol’s muses are consistent with Maltzman’s subject of choice.
