Ken Fleisch (1943-2008) Texas Grandma in Rocker on Porch Oil Painting

Description

Fleisch didn't do a lot of portraits, I've only seen s few others. One of which<br>brought $6100 on eBay in 2013. This piece is estate fresh, has never been<br>offered anywhere until now since it was purchased from the artist.<br><br>Frame measures 31"x 19", it's the original frame Made in Italy with 78061<br>sticker on it coinciding with the number on the back of the painting. Canvas is<br>24" x 12". Both the painting and the frame are flawless. This is one of his<br>earlier works c.1970's, also one of his better works in my opinion. He's well<br>listed and has brought some very high prices at auction even before he passed<br>away in 2008.<br><br>Ken Fleisch<br><br>(American, 1943-2008)<br><br><br><br>Ken Fleischs' paintings are stark, compelling and deceptively simple in their<br>appearance. Flawless in its detail and realism, Fleischs work reaches the core<br>of life in an almost classical fashion.<br><br><br><br>            Born in Texas on November 4, 1943, Fleischspent his early years<br>experiencing a wide perspective of life throughout the United<br>States and Europe as the son of an Air Force officer. Fleischs art education is<br>a combination of formal training in both American and European universities with<br>exacting practical experience gained through private study and joint projects<br>with internationally known artists.<br><br><br><br>            A self-described realist, he often draws inspiration from his native<br>state of Texas, yet his paintings transcend geographical boundaries, touching<br>the core of life in an almost classical fashion. His evocative paintings are<br>more than mere reflections of reality: they are a means by which he shares<br>philosophy and emotion. Using the commonplace to convey the complex, he often<br>uses old pottery, artifacts, and icons for his stark and still lifes, which many<br>find compelling. <br><br>            Fleisch began painting landscapes then moved on to architecture and<br>buildings and eventually was drawn inside to long forgotten objects sitting on<br>shelves. Fleisch now paints still lifes exclusively. He is interested in the<br>convergence of cultures and the stories behind the objects he paints.<br><br><br>Ken Fleisch's award winning work has been featured extensively in regional and<br>national publications and his paintings are in major private and public<br>collections across the country. The wide recognition of Ken Fleischs' art on a<br>national level, the popularity of his print series and the wide diversity of his<br>collectors, from Bob Dylan to CBS Television, can only underscore the depth and<br>integrity of his work.
