Mixed Media Art Auctions
By admin | September 4, 2010
Mixed media art auctions have a great deal to offer. Today I discovered several seriolithographs. I love to the colors that the Polish artist Zamy Steynovitz used.
The fun part of mixed media art auctions is that you just never know what you’ll find. I found a pebble art piece from the 1960’s that featured a bare-chested chariot driver cracking a whip. The piece also had three horses. The medium of pebbles was very interesting.
Another fascinating find when I was browsing mixed media art auctions was a mirrored wall hanging that represents the Manhattan skyline. This piece was made before the damage to the World Trade Center buildings and they are represented in the piece.
Often times the medium made use of in mixed media art is the identical to other groups of art. I found a nice acrylic painting in a mixed media art auction that was distinct as a consequence of its subject. The artist painted a red sea dragon with a lovely woman. I learned that the artist was influenced by Salvador Dali, HP Lovecraft and his love of the game Dungeons and Dragons.
I discovered a really pretty 3-D art collage shadowbox while I was looking through the mixed media art auctions. The title of the piece was True Confessions of a Mermaid Gone Bad. The piece was listed as professionally framed art with glass in yellow stained timber.
Mixed media art auctions bring so many different artistic styles to light. I discovered a Scandinavian inspired design of two peacocks on a hand stitched wall hanging. The piece was surrounded by a cosmetic border and the frame was reported to be in great condition.
Often times the mixed media art auctions include artistic things like hand made cards. I discovered an artist that lists auctions of greeting card collages. Those that I was looking at used vintage images, ink and extremely decorative paper.
There was an item of art that came up in my searches of mixed media art auctions that I really liked. It was listed as a pleasant abstract tin art. It was actually quite impressive and was listed as measuring two feet by two and a half feet. I think this will actually look great on my mum-in-law’s wall.
So nearly all of the paintings I found listed in the mixed media art auctions were just different versions of mainstream subjects. I have found so many art auctions with poppies painted on canvas, but today I discovered a white poppy painted in oil with a brilliant emerald green background. It was very striking and I believe that the modern feel to this piece came upon very well.
I had never considered vintage maps to be art before I found them in the mixed media art auctions. I guess when a atlas becomes antique and is no longer useful for its original intended purpose, it can become art. I found a listing for battle maps that was very intriguing. This map would look good framed and displayed with other war related memorabilia.
Mixed media art auctions really do have a lot of various kinds of art represented. I found an artist with items listed whose medium is purses. She makes purses from cigar boxes and solders a handle and various embellishments on the side. The purses are really quite delightful.
