About the Item
On a recent trip to the Caribbean, Nansi and David were frequently surrounded by large shoals of Palometa fish, a privilege which inspired this painting, “Nude Ascending”. The motif, a nude swimmer interacting peacefully-almost spiritually-with ocean life, has become one of the trademarks of the husband and wife collaborative duo.
Nansi Bielanski Gallup & David C. Gallup are fine artists living in Southern California and in the small island nation of Vanuatu. Inspired by their worldwide scuba dives, their art depicts motion, confusion, figures, sea creatures and brightly colored reef life. Their style (called Experientialism) is based on some of the conceptually intriguing aspects of Cubism fused with Abstraction, Pop, Impressionism and Realism.
While they each paint individually, many of their canvases are collaborations, working in turns or simultaneously on the same canvas toward expressing their shared vision.
Nansi Bielanski Gallup began her artistic career expressing her love of figurative work in oil and bronze and brings strong figurative elements to her canvases. She holds a Masters of Fine Arts from Loyola Marymount University and has taught art for over a decade. She was Artist in Residence at the Carnegie Museum of Art and held a solo show there.
David C. Gallup has devoted his life to the study, teaching, and creation of art. He graduated from Otis/Parsons in 1990 and soon found himself supervising a staff of over thirty artists under pop art legend Hiro Yamagata. He was Vice President of the historic California Art Club for over a decade. He has held three solo museum exhibitions, a two-artist museum exhibition with Nansi, and numerous solo gallery exhibitions.
World travelers, they both feel strongly that the fragile ecosystems of the ocean need to be protected and are actively introducing green technologies and sustainable development in Vanuatu, a small island nation in the Coral Sea. There, they have a small island which serves as a tropical studio where they can work comfortably from fresh inspiration, and a home base for adventures across the South Pacific.

- Venice BeachBy Carole GarlandLocated in Palm Desert, CADepicts Carole Garland reveling in a hot summer day at the Venice Beach. Colorful beach umbrellas shield the timid from the burning sun while sunbathers bask in the searing heat. Yellow and blue ribbons floating on the wind celebrate Venice’s chaos and its whimsy. To focus the figure of a preteen who stands sentinel, Garland fades out the foreground sunbather on right and obfuscates the crouching man on left. The artist leads us to the groups of mysterious standing and sitting figures in the shadows and beyond. Garland’s collection of figurative work speaks to a contemporary sensibility in her approach to painting, while expressing a curiosity about the human form and an irrepressible concern for the human spirit. Carole Garland graduated from Knox College, Galesburg, Ill., studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the University of the Americas in Mexico City. She has worked privately with artists Keith Finch and Ron Pekar, taken numerous workshops and was mentored by David Gallup...Category

- Thee girl in the old House - 21st Century Contemporary Oil Painting of a girlBy Marten HuitsingLocated in Nuenen, Noord BrabantMarten Huitsing The girl in the old house 70 x 45 cm ( frame is include, with frame the size is 80 x 55 cm) Oil on wood panel The paintings of this artist have been part of the collection of Galerie Bonnard since his graduation (2010) at the Classical Academy of Groningen. Huitsing has quickly become successful, his style, craftsmanship and choice of subject appeals to many people. Yet Marten, he says, does not want to repeat himself. He is always looking for the way of painting that suits him at that moment. The sympathetic artist got national fame because he beautifully portrayed a famous Dutch TV presentator Mart Smeets in the 'Paint the stars' program. Honest, very recognizable and with a narrative painting. Mart Smeets was overwhelmed, praising his comments. Rightly so! From that moment. Marten Huitsing's work has gained increasing popularity, he is an annually returning artist at the renowned PAN and he can hardly cope with the demand for new work. The work that the artist has made for our gallery that there is always a balanced composition. In the collection there is one painting that is directly an ode to an older master, both often with Marten Huitsing. He did that before. In this case an ode to the French painter William Bougeureau...Category
