R.P. DEFRESNE “Portrait of a Young Girl” Original Oil on Canvas
$158.40
Original oil on canvas painting by artist R.P. DeFresne depicts a charming portrait of a young girl against a moody, dramatic background. Little is known about this artist, who has treated this canvas with more modern techniques; alternating wash and impasto brushwork to create delicate blends of color and texture. The softness of the subject is juxtaposed by the almost ominous background scenery, the girl’s ivory clothing contrasting against the darker sky and clouds looming overhead. Housed in a distressed gold frame, this original painting is signed in the left hand corner of the canvas by the painter.

JURIS KAKIS (1938-) “Portrait of a Young Man” Original Acrylic on Canvas
Original acrylic on canvas painting by Latvian-American painter Juris Kakis (1938-) depicts the stylized portrait of a young man in tones of yellow, white, and blue. Kakis uses black lines to create a face, allowing his fascinating technique to create an intriguing study of color and texture throughout the composition. Commonly depicting portraits of horses, people, and floral still lifes, Kakis’ images remain popular in the Columbus art scene, his images continually renowned for their dynamic, colorful constructions, effortless techniques, and contemporary appeal. This original painting is mounted in a stark white frame and is signed and dated to 2000 by the artist along the bottom of the canvas.
About the Artist:
Juris Kakis is a Lativian-born contemporary artist based in Columbus, Ohio. Born in 1938 in Riga, Latvia, Kakis immigrated to the United States with his painter mother and medical doctor father at the age of 11. A gifted artist from a young age, Kakis received an award for his art within his first year of moving to America, while living in New York City. Kakis attempted to continue the generational legacy of doctors that the men in his family had perpetuated, but ended up pursuing his Masters of Fine Arts instead, going on to teach painting and drawing at Ohio Dominican University for 37 years. Kakis retired as a professor with tenure at Ohio Dominican and was, at the time of his retirement, the Chair of the Department of Art and Curator of the Wehrle Gallery. Exhibiting throughout the United States and Europe, Kakis’ works are included in the permanent collections of the Columbus Museum of Art and the National Museum of Art in Riga, Latvia, as well as numerous corporate and private collections.

PATRICK NAGEL (1945-1984) “Park Place Estate” Silkscreen
Silkscreen by renowned artist and illustrator Patrick Nagel (1945-1984) depicts a female model against a stone blue background with gridded details. A female lion occupies the right hand foreground in a symbolic gesture of the central model’s depicted elegant ferocity. A widely collected artist, Nagel’s popular illustrations emphasize the female form in a distinctive, immediately recognizable style descended from Art Deco and Pop art. Posthumously released, this commemorative silkscreen is matted in a sleek, contemporary frame and signed and numbered by Nagel’s widow, Jennifer Dumas.
About the Artist:
Patrick Nagel was born November 25, 1945 in Dayton, Ohio, but was raised most of his life in the Los Angeles area. After serving in the United States Army with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam, Nagel attended the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1969, and in that same year he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from California State University, Fullerton. Beginning in 1971, Nagel worked as a graphic designer for ABC Television before partaking in freelance work for companies and magazines such as IBM, Rolling Stone, and Universal Studios. Likewise, Nagel produced album covers for recording artists, most notably for Duran Duran’s 1982 hit album, Rio. Nagel contributed to Playboy Magazine from August 1975 to July 1984, with one of his paintings being published in every issue between that time period, roughly totaling 285 pieces. Nagel died of an undisclosed heart defect in 1984, at the young age of 38. His already popular work exploded throughout the 1980s and flooded the market to make Nagel a quintessential American artist still today.
