John McCabe
What About?, Original Painting

2018

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist John McCabe illustrates colorful graphic faces divided into twelve micro panels. He creates a scenario of an explosive political landscape within a board of people. "The common line of rebuttal in the information cycle discourse was—what about," says John. The subjects, with no answer or proper defense of an argument, evade by counterpointing with—What about?

  • Emerald Lapels, Oil Painting
    By Malia Pettit
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    With closed eyes and a subtle tilt of her head, a woman confidently flaunts her shimmery eyeshadow, tonal highlights, and plump red lips. Against the beige backdrop, her dolled-up face and glowing skin create a captivating contrast. The playful touch of green tips on her curly hair adds a fun element to the sensual quality of the piece. The artwork comes with a Larson-Juhl matte natural frame measuring 2.25 inches deep and 0.25 inches thick.


    About the Artist
    Malia Pettit sees her artistic process as an act of “liberating the paint” and “allowing for the unexpected to occur.” Her portraits of women stem from a fascination with glossy magazines and their portrayal of models, actors and celebrities. Her work has been especially influenced by Chantal Joffe and John Singer Sargent. She currently resides in Louisiana after having lived in both California and England for several years. When she’s not painting, she is a full-time mom and enjoys exploring estate sales, antique stores and used bookstores.

    A woman wearing a floral brooch on her shoulder and a scarf covering her hair captivates with a riveting gaze. The pale blue and warm gray background, along with her peach flesh tones, give the portrait a vintage touch. The artwork comes with a Larson-Juhl matte natural wood frame measuring 1.25 inches deep and 0.65 of an inch thick.
