Very Sweet: Skip Hartzell dog inspired works!!

'Swimmer #2', Flashe on Canvas, 72 x 72 Inches   Canine-inspired charcoal drawings, oil paintings, works on paper and four-legged sculptures   South Florida artist Skip Hartzell creates large paintings, sculptures and drawings that capture the essence of “dog”, all of the work is rich with intricacies of color and technique. His painterly expression captures each dog’s own personality with beautiful textures, line and brush strokes using mixed media to bring each dog to life. He is best known for his unique sculptures recognized immediately by their distinct form and style that only Hartzell can produce.   'Wall Dog, No.29', Papercrete and Resin, 8 x 12 Inches   “Dogs are always in the moment. Although nothing in life has held my attention longer or has been more fascinating to me than dogs, my work is about much more than that. It is about form, movement, color and texture. The dogs are a recognizable common denominator that allows me to communicate my joy of living, passions and sentiments.” —Skip Hartzell.   ‘Golden’, Oil on Canvas, 48 x 60 Inches Whether he’s painting or sculpting, Hartzell’s dogs have a wonderful quality of friendliness about them, and it’s hard to keep yourself from reaching out to touch. And that’s perfectly okay with Hartzell. He’s never been one to place a rope around his artwork.   'Wall Dog, No.5', Papercrete and Resin, 8 x 12 Inches “If you love dogs, you are going to love Skip Hartzell’s soulful pieces. His work is representative of caricature features of dogs,” said J. Marshall Adams, the executive director of the A.E. Backus Museum and Gallery in Historic Downtown Fort Pierce where Hartzell has held exhibitions. Skip Hartzell is a longtime supporter of no-kill animal rescues and donates proceeds from the sale of his artworks to animal-rescue, no kill shelters.

Featured artwork of the week:  Sophie Bouvier Ausländer's Avalanche

Avalanche, gouache on waxed map, 32 x 28 cm, 2018

A staggering bang, shaking you to the core, followed by eerie silence. Within seconds the masses are set into motion. With incredible speed and impetuous force. Burying everything under a layer of snow. A spectacle of outstanding beauty and cruelty. Sophie Bouvier Ausländer’s point of departure for her artistic practice is nothing less than our planet, which can be considered as the sculpture par excellence. Her small and large-scale waxed maps from the Avalanche series are covered with paint and then scratched and scribbled into and sometimes re-covered with paint. The “avalanche”, the covering in colour, erases the map’s territories and borders, detaches it from its function and alienates it from the reality of our planet. Bouvier Ausländer then reverses course and starts to dig out the signs from under the cover. She retakes control of the lost ground, searching through the surface and furrowing the crust. She brings to light fragments of the vanished terrain in an attempt to reconstruct an extinguished world. Yet Bouvier Ausländer also brings to light a new vision, a maybe bruised but modified and freshly charged version of the earth - a version that we are currently beginning to experience, one that will accompany us for times to come.
