A Co-founder honoured through a Veuve Clicquot Award

This French company has just seen one of its co-founders awarded a prize, given out by the very famous champagne brand Veuve Clicquot. Its name is the “Bold Woman Award”, and it is given to daring women, in memory of the brand’s founder wife, who had to take over the company at only 27, when her husband died. There is no doubt that it wasn’t an easy adventure to overtake, five years ago, by her and her two partners in crime, Denis Fayolle and Brice Lecompte.

Halfway to the stars” (Voyage en Cable Car de San Francisco), 2021, by Albina Urbanek (France)

If what you are looking for is a painting in the naïve style, you may succumb to the charm of this oil on linen painting. It features a tram going up a hill, and facing the person that is looking at it. This is the type of art that goes well in just about any room of the house. You can even hang it in the lobby of a company, and people would stop, look and comment on it. Most of all, it offers a unique vision of the city, through curves that you could not find in the real world. In some ways, it enables you to dream San Francisco.

Las calles de San Francisco, 2022, by Marco Ortolan (Argentina)

If you prefer landscapes that relate more to realism, this oil on canvas might be the perfect addition to your office. Looking at the cars climbing up the hill, closed-in by the buildings on both sides, it reflects an image that provides solidity; as if the city was open for business and delivering the goods. The dark side of it makes it even more powerful. It is the kind of painting that you can sit and watch for a long time, as you get lost inside it.

Evening in San Francisco, 2022, by Van Hovak (United States)

If you are into cubism, this work by Van Hovak will certainly please you for years to come, as you can come up with so many discoveries of elements that lay inside it. Furthermore, it can lead to the creation of many different stories, featuring the citizens of San Francisco, as you see them in the heart of their city, which you recognize by the buildings that stand over them, in the back. The pastel colours used in this Acrylic, Oil on Canvas of 140x148cm, will ease the viewers gaze but the lines that are drawn will surely mesmerize them, as well.

San Francisco Bay, 2021, by Oksana Johnson (United States)

It would not be right, if this article did not feature at least one painting with the famous Bay Bridge. This oil on linen depicts a red structure that comes out of the blue of the water and of the sky. It is the perfect artwork to hang on your wall, in order to create an atmosphere in the room. Anyone that will walk-in will be engulfed by the movement of the water breaking on the rocks, in the forefront. It exudes a sense of peace, as if the bay was calling the viewer. Is it a sense of safety or of mystery? Only those who will hang it on their wall, one day, may come up with the answer to this question.

“Sunrise in San Francisco”, 2022, by Patrick Piccinelli (Switzerland)

If you are a fan of abstract art and minimalism, you will love this acrylic and spray paint on canvas. What the artist said he wanted to reproduce in this painting, was his vision of the sun rising over the city of San Francisco. From the gray block in the back and the two bright squares of orange and red covering it, one could assume that Piccinelli envisioned the sun as the bringer of life, on a city that was mostly made of cold metal. But potential buyers will certainly propose other meanings. It is, after all, one of the beauty elements of abstract art: The capacity to see what we want and to give it a personal meaning.

Over Ellis Street, San Francisco, 2013, by Georgia Peskett (United Kingdom)

Sometimes, fine art is simply a representation of what you see. That can best describe this work, by Georgia Peskett. This oil and pencil on linen is not a small piece, as its format reaches 128x102cm. This overview of the Apple Store, as well as a Levi’s and Diesel store, brings you right back to the streets of San Francisco. It is the kind of painting that can open-up a wall, as if you could enter into it and find yourself in this other world.

A San Francisco Night, 2021, by Charles Wallis (United States)

Let’s end our little presentation of some of the work that you will find on SINGULART, online gallery, with a small acrylic on Canvas (25.4×20.3cm).
