COME SEE THE OLD MASTERS 2.0

 

​

     When I discovered the great artists of the past, it struck me how familiar their protagonists appeared.

      They endured the same radical social changes we face today. The disruptions that the Enlightenment and Renaissance wrought on Medieval lives are etched in agony and ecstasy on their faces.

      And I add our modern technology when they seem to be crying out for it. For example, Renoir's bathers who appear poised for smart phones to take selfies. 

    

 

 

 

 


 

 

                                

     I'm Chris Fox Gilson, Miami's oldest living "emerging" artist.

     It was exciting to be with Jason Perez' group at Red Dot/Spectrum 2023 during Miami Art Week.

      Each piece in my OLD MASTERS 2.0 series is backlit with LED light to mimic the Masters' vibrant color palettes, with a dimmer to adjust brightness.  Or on traditional stretched canvas, both in editions of 200. 

       And high-quality prints are also available.
