Two New Garmash Originals

Michael and Inessa are still here in our beautiful little city of St. Augustine, FL and they have been busy painting! Here are two new original oils from our favorite artist couple, a 18"x14" titled Anastasia and a 12"x16" titled Sunset (this is a scene from the end of 12th Street looking down onto the beach). Please come by the gallery and see them in person, as all art collectors know a photo just can not translate the true beauty of an original piece of art.

Colorful Expressions of Love & Life

We are lucky, all of us as a group, and specifically us as your art dealer, you as a sophisticated client, and Michael and Inessa Garmash as the most exciting and potentially strongest of the artists we represent. Influenced by some of the greatest Russian artists such as Nicolai Fechin, Ilya Repin and Valentin Serov (as well as great American artists like John Singer Sargent) this fascinating duo brings to us again convincing proof with the arrival of  a new grouping of very important originals. This is their 4th exhibition in St. Augustine and we anticipate, as before, that every single original will sell. There is now a well-established demand, and even craving for their work; this bodes well for those who love to see a steady and inevitable rise in demand and price that often signals a career of greatness.

We don’t want to sound aggressive, however, we are often hurt by the disappointment in the voices and on the faces of those who call or come to the gallery only to learn that one, two, or even three of their preferred pieces are now in private collections. The Cutter Family strongly believes in M & I Garmash and has reflected in depth upon the effect of losing Italian master Pino to cancer this past year. Surely Michael and Inessa can and will beautifully fill the void in the figurative genius that the world and our group has lost. Our intent is to promote and enjoy their gorgeous originals for ‘as long as we live’. You have our word on that. The originals you’ll discover within are fine art at the highest level and worthy of hanging truly and literally in any museum from St. Petersburg, Russia to our great American museums and important private collections just like yours.
Should you decide, based on your knowledge and experience (and possible ownership of their work) to bring one of these new beautifully painted compositions into your home or office prior to the exhibition we encourage you to call quickly. In the past that is precisely what has taken place. At our private gathering you will be able to meet with Michael and Inessa and continue learning more about their extraordinary talent and ability to express and observe love and life in all of its wondrous colors, contrasts and intriguing and riveting compositions. Pre-sold originals must remain through the exhibition and we are sure that Michael and Inessa will, as before, provide every collector with something special and memorable. As their tremendous talent and fame grows it will be nice to know that you have a personal relationship with one of the worlds most extraordinary love stories. We know this much, we love their work, and cherish every moment spent in their presence. Best of all we believe they love coming to St. Augustine and showing you what they see through the eyes of two who love the colors of life and expressing their love for each other.

Worley Faver

Cutter & Cutter Fine Art is now the exclusive representative for nationally renowned potter, Worley Favor!

This Saturday, January 29th from 1:00 – 4:00 PM, Worley Faver will be available at Brilliance In Color (25 King Street, on the plaza in downtown St. Augustine) to meet with you and explain his remarkable hand-coiled technique (no potter’s wheel is used). This is an ancient technique, used by Native American Potters (one of Worley’s biggest influences is Maria Martinez, one of the oldest, most revered American Indian potters) and actually goes back to early Egyptian times. Worley’s only modern tool is his kiln, all his pottery is created by hand, using tools nature provides (he uses a walnut shell and corals for textures and a smooth river stone for burnishing, the dark color is achieved by placing the red-hot pottery in a mound of wood shavings). With this time-honored technique Worley brings an artistic embellishment to each original pot that comes directly from his meditations on life itself and all of its mystical meaning.

At the risk of boring you or creating a thought of , “to good to be true”, allow me to give you my personal guarantee, that this work with all of its sophisticated design, shape, style, and historic connection will be with us, as one of our most stimulating offerings for as long as Worley Favor creates them. His unity of thought and spellbinding textures are coupled with geometric designs and abstract elements from nature as well as the nature of man. Each piece of pottery is unique and we anticipate literally every collector that has acquired artwork from our galleries can and will have the perfect setting for one of these timeless treasures. Each will become a terrific heirloom to enjoy together as time goes by. We are committed to Worley’s pottery, and we fervently hope you will join us to see for yourselves the beauty of his creations. Worley is current working on a major piece, and this Saturday offers you the chance to see, feel, touch and even smell the process...you will not be disappointed. You will be in the presence of one of the most extraordinary artists we have been privileged to represent.

A massive array of pottery will be available, and we believe you will be astounded at the magnificence found in them. No two are alike and some require two month’s time to create. The bottom line...those given to grasp greatness in art will see instantly that I have not overstated the case, and I believe will be grateful with the gift of getting to know an artist like Worley Favor. He lives to express himself through his hands, and his work will help you to connect with the deep and abiding reference he has for life and the gift of living it...you simply must see his creations.

P.S. - Worley’s prices range from $500.00 for smaller pieces up to $10,000.00 for larger works.
Visit our website to see over thirty unique and different creations. (http://www.cutterandcutter.com/)
Remember these are one-of-a-kind, works can be replicated but not duplicated, if you see a piece you love do not hesitate.

About Brian Davis

The crisp, exuberant paintings of artist Brian Davis give as much meaningful insight into his dynamic, perfection driven personality as the floral renderings he creates. Meticulous in his process and passionate about his art, Davis never lets a piece out of his studio that is “sub-par.” The result has been a 30-year career filled with much-coveted art in Davis’ unique realist style.

“For an artist to be successful, a professional level of consistency is very important,” Davis explains. “I have spent many years working to achieve this goal. I feel very proud of the body of work that I have produced in my career.” From an early age, Davis was considered the artist in the family. After studying architecture for two years in college, he realized that fine art was where his heart truly was, so he shifted his focus.

Davis has enjoyed a successful career as an illustrator. However, he thought of illustration as more of a stepping-stone to his primary goal of a career in fine art. He entered the fine-art market in 1980 with an image of two calla lilies against a black background. The piece served as the poster image for a show of Davis’ work at the Long Beach Museum in Los Angeles. Through the years, Davis met some challenges, but he always managed to maintain an optimistic frame of mind. “Any profession that provides one with emotional satisfaction in addition to a livelihood is filled with strong competitors,” Davis says. “To be successful, an artist needs a tough, determined and have a positive mental attitude, in addition to talent.”

About The Susan Kathleen Black Foundation - The Foundation, created for the advancement of art education, was initially established in 2001 as a memorial fund by James E. Parkman in honor of his wife, Susan Kathleen Black, who died unexpectedly just before Christmas 2000 after a lengthy illness.
Susan Kathleen was a devoted artist and student who took every opportunity to learn from master artists and skilled experts to develop her own talent. Her favorite workshops were at the Beartooth School of Wildlife Art in Big Timber, Montana, where she studied with many nationally known wildlife artists.
Since its creation, the memorial fund has awarded grants for art education to elementary schools in Texas and New Mexico; teen workshops in Montana and conferences for the development of professional artists in Divide, Colorado and Dubois, Wyoming. In addition, one full college art scholarship has been awarded.
In early 2003 the memorial fund was granted 501 (c )(3) status and became the Susan Kathleen Black Foundation, Inc. Its mission is to continue to fund art education for a broad range of art programs throughout the nation, while giving artists of all ages the opportunity to develop their skills and achieve their goals as artists.

Bill Mack and the Twins

Although Bill Mack typically does gallery work, Bill's relationship with the Pohlad family, (owners of the Minnesota Twins), inevitably lead him to once again add another group of sports figures to his already impressive resume of Sports Hall of Famers. Kirby Puckett, Harmon Killebrew, and Rod Carew are just a few of many Sports figures created By Bill Mack. Bill Mack has also created works from Peggy Fleming, Casey Tibbs, U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer Hobey Baker, Tennis legend Arthur Ashe, and many more.

A statue of Calvin Griffith, the first owner of the Minnesota Twins was unveiled on September 3rd outside the Target Field. The ceremony was joined by Twins fans as well as baseball legends, Harmon Killebrew, Rod Carew and the Griffith family. Bill is not finished as the Twins and the Pohlad family have also commissioned Bill to install a similar bronze statue of Carl and Eloise Pohlad later this Fall. A location for the unveiling has not yet been determined.

Bill Mack primarily works in relief sculpture, however, this project was especially unique. There were many reasons Bill decided to accept the commissions to create larger-than-life statues, however, a few simple reasons close to Bill Mack were enough to move forward. Bill was recently quoted in an ESPN article as saying, "This Twins project was unique, I'm a big Twins fan and it just seemed like a good marriage." Bill Mack is also a Minnesota Native and a has always enjoyed watching the Minnesota Twins.
