Resurrection by Todd Starks

One of the great things about our ongoing Studio Sale is that it has given artists a place to sell some of the work they normally wouldn’t offer for sale. Pieces that don’t flow with their current style. Pieces that are prototypes or trials in new styles.

A great example of this is Todd Starks. Todd’s prints and original paintings have appeared on the website and in the catalog for several years. He shows beautiful representations of trees in strong colors that while not complex looking at an initial glance, invoke a lot of thought and emotion.

I was really excited to see him submit work for Studio Sale. The pieces he submitted are very different from the other work he sells through us. There are pure black and white pieces that have the same lines and style so true to Todd’s work but without the color. There are pieces like “Resurrection” and “Olympic Skater” that have a strong, playful side.

I love seeing these other sides to artists. These pieces that probably haven’t been seen a lot. The pieces Todd is selling in Studio Sale are all one of a kind paintings. Wouldn’t it be great to be the owner of the unique pieces that shows the other side of an artists? A piece that most people haven’t seen. A piece the artists probably has never offered for sale before.
