A Great Battlefield - A Lone Soldier Sanding in an Open Field, Oil on Linen
By William Blake (b. 1991)
Located in Chicago, IL
A solitary figure, head bowed, stands in a field in contemplation of what has just taken place or what is about to take place. "A Great Battlefield" channels the spirit of Winslow Homer's war imagery, bringing it into the contemporary world, asking us to contemplate the decisions forced to be made in wartime, some of which will never leave us. As for the paintings, William uses materials and methods of the Civil War era. The linen on which he paints was in use at that time as well as the tubed oil paints. He is one of the few artists who tacks his canvas to the stretchers using similar tacks that would have been used by Winslow Homer. While he leaves the works unframed for this reason, the artwork could certainly be framed. This piece is unframed. Please contact the gallery for framing options.
A Great Battlefield
oil on linen

WIL029
Known for his highly charged depictions of Civil War reenactments, William Blake’s powerful paintings show the recursive bodies of reenactors as they gesture across time. Participating in over 40 reenactment events, Blake currently interprets as the artist-correspondent Winslow Homer at these battle reenactments. He immerses himself in the materiality of his own obsession by constructing period clothes, camping on battlefields, and documenting the reenactment similar to Homer’s documentation of the authentic war.
The figures in the paintings reverberate the past with respect and with a desire to educate, humble, and play. With each annual iteration of American Civil War reenactments, the reanimation of the past encourages a review of history and aids in its continuous revision.
For his second exhibition with Gallery Victor Armendariz, William Blake presents A Great Battlefield, a collection of new paintings depicting US Marines...

Glass of Milk - Still-life Oil Painting with Glass of Milk
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Aeling’s still life with a glass of milk is a masterclass in clarity and restraint. It brightens one of the core truths of his practice: that light is the subject of every painting, whether cast across a mountain range or contained within a simple vessel. The circular reflections beneath the glass recall his love of geometry within nature—how arcs, rings, and contours emerge from light’s interaction with form. This piece echoes the quiet intensity of his earliest studio work, grounding his expansive landscapes in the discipline of looking closely.

Jeff Aeling (1958–2025): The Sky Remembers
Through Jeff Aeling’s eyes, the landscape becomes a world shaped as much by air as by earth. In works such as North of Las Vegas, NM and Pond Near St. Cloud, MN, he balances the quiet structure of plains and wetlands with skies alive in constant motion. His mastery of atmosphere is unmistakable in Light Pillars (2023) and Light Pillar (2023), where rare optical events turn night into architecture. Even intimate scenes like Crabapple, Dogwoods, and Red Bud find their emotional power under skies that lend the land its shifting character.
Aeling’s winters in Hawaii deepened his sensitivity to movement and weather. Surfing taught him to read the rhythm of the ocean, a knowledge reflected in Wave, Kauai (2018), where a breaking wave becomes a luminous wall of force. In Volcano (2023), he channels the islands’ elemental drama, linking fire, vapor, and sky through the same atmospheric vocabulary found in his plains paintings...

Sunset Aliomanu Bay, Kauai - Water and Sky Meet with Sun Kissed Clouds
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Aeling’s fascination with atmospheric drama—rooted in his childhood in the American West, where weather dominates the horizon—finds powerful expression in this seascape. The low line of the ocean reinforces the artist’s signature device: vast, open skies that dwarf the land below. Yet the work also reflects a more personal history: Aeling’s enduring love of Hawaii, where he spent many winters surfing and studying the Pacific’s shifting moods. Those days on the water deepened his awareness of how ocean and sky interact, how storms gather, dissolve, and re-form with astonishing rapidity. The painting captures that moment when light changes direction and the boundary between calm and impending weather becomes charged with meaning. His precise modulation of color and temperature recalls his study of 19th-century luminists, yet the lived experience of Hawaiian surf breaks gives the scene an immediacy and authenticity that is distinctly his own.
