About the Item

"Macintosh" by James Zamora is a striking ode to technological elegance, where the artist's brushstrokes breathe life into the iconic Macintosh computer. This original still life, crafted in oil on board, beautifully captures the essence of the classic computer against a backdrop of subtle, dark grey tones. At the forefront of the composition, the Macintosh computer is depicted with a meticulous attention to detail. Zamora's impressionistic style is evident in the way each stroke conveys the sleek and timeless design of the device. The interplay of light and shadow on the dark background adds depth, emphasizing the computer's form and functionality. The color scheme, dominated by subtle dark grey tones, imparts a sense of sophistication and modernity to the scene. Zamora's choice of colors mirrors the sleek aesthetics of the Macintosh, creating a visual harmony that resonates with the technological elegance of the subject matter. The framing of the painting is executed with precision, offering a polished presentation that complements the clean lines of the computer. Zamora's signature on the canvas attests to the authenticity of this contemporary masterpiece. "Macintosh" transcends the traditional boundaries of still life, becoming a modern exploration of the intersection between art and technology. For art enthusiasts who appreciate the fusion of art and innovation, "Macintosh" is available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art, both in their Chelsea location and through their online platform. Immerse yourself in the sleek allure of Zamora's masterpiece, where the Macintosh computer becomes a timeless symbol of design and functionality.

  • Ecce Homo / Behold the Man
    By Willard Dixon
    Located in Burlingame, CA
    'Ecce Homo (Behold the Man)' by Willard Dixon. These paintings are generally taken from small black and white newspaper photos from Willard Dixon’s daily reading of the news. In 'Ecce Homo', the image was taken from a story where Palestinian medics evacuate an injured protester who clashed with Israeli security near the boarder Dixon changes the images somewhat by cropping them, taking things out, adding color, etc. But the image is definitely something seen originally by someone else. “I must say”, says Dixon, “I have rather strong feelings about these images myself. I see them at least in part as an homage to the intrepid photographers on the front lines who are telling truth to the world about what’s actually going on out there.” Willard Dixon Born: Kansas City MO, 1942 Education: Art Students League, New York, NY Cornell University Brooklyn Museum School San Francisco Art Institute, M.F.A. 1969 Awards and Commissions N.E.A.
