Brian Calvin. Bloomer. 20" x 14", archival pigment print. Signed edition of 35. $350. Bloomer is our third collaboration with Brian Calvin. Calvin's recent body of work focuses on tightly-cropped portraits of imaginary women. His highly composed paintings reveal a vulnerability that transcends literal interpretation by employing anonymity and neutrality. As Calvin explained to Bill Powers in his 2015 Muse Magazine interview, "When painting, I don't concern myself with either side of the emotional spectrum. No triumph. No tragedy. If anything, there is a slight melancholy to the paintings.".
