Op Art-Style Paintings by Justin Bower and Antique Persian Rugs Lead 1stbid’s Upcoming Sale
Sep 01, 2024 14:00 EDTAmerican artist Justin Bower is celebrated for exploring the impact of technology on society and notions of identity. He received a degree in Art and Philosophy from the University of Arizona and a Master of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate University. The San Francisco-born painter often depicts subjects that appear digitally distorted. Two such Op Art-style paintings by Bower are key highlights of 1stbid’s upcoming sale. With vibrant neon hues, he creates an illusion of computerized images on canvas and linen. Bower uses fractured faces, blurry features, and whiplash motion to portray the de-stabilizing impact of the digital world. The artist has won several grants and awards, including the Feitelson Fellowship Grant and the Joan Mitchell Award.
A collection of antique Persian rugs will also come to auction in this event. This includes a Mohtasham Kashan piece with a curvilinear design. Hadji Mollah Mohammed Hassan Mohtasham is a renowned name in carpet weaving. The master weaver revitalized the art during the late 19th century in Kashan. A Tabriz rug woven by another master craftsman, Haji Jalili, is also noteworthy for its detailed motifs.
