"Flats Ghost" Original 20" x 20" Bonefish Painting
Size: 20" x 20"
Medium: Acrylic on Board
Artist inspiration: "Flats Ghost, Bonefish Original painting, an Ode to Robert Gruppe. Approximately two decades ago, I stumbled upon a captivating painting by Robert Gruppe featuring Bluefish on an auction site. The sheer brilliance of his loose, confident brushwork not only captured the essence of the fish but also immersed you in the sensation of water and weightlessness as they gracefully hovered, making eye contact.
Back then, I was just embarking on my professional journey, navigating the challenges of the typical starving artist. The allure of that painting was so profound that, despite my financial struggles, I contemplated sacrificing meals for weeks to acquire it. Regrettably, it sold swiftly, disappearing from my sight. The memory still lingers, leaving me to ponder if my subconscious artistic approach has been shaped by that elusive masterpiece. The regret of not having it adorn my wall continues to linger."
Want to discover more about Savlen Original Paintings?
A Savlen Original is a one-off. A one of a kind. The very essence of unique.
Have you ever stood in front of a painting and felt the urge to trace the artist’s brushstrokes with your fingers?
Can you imagine the blank canvas before the artist created, with brushes, paint, imagination, memories (and talent!), a scene that catches your attention and draws your gaze? Again, and again.
Now, every time you gaze into your painting, you share what Savlen felt in that instant when he captured a moment of such sublime beauty.
You can see the layers of texture that build up the light play on water or an infinite sunset. The flick of a fishtail as it vanishes under the surface is suspended in time. That flash of nature's beauty is alive before your eyes and is yours to enjoy. Forever.
Savlen Originals bring nature to life in 3-D. You can see how the artist layered paint to create his unique high-chroma color palette.
This goes above and beyond seeing the natural world through the artist’s eyes. On every Savlen Original, you can see the brushstrokes made by his hand.
Each time you enjoy your Savlen Original, you will discover new details. As the light moves across your painting each day, colors will soften, warm and then pop with life. With the changing seasons, your original canvas will cool. Or like clouds passing over water on sunny days, it will transform from hour to hour.
Why collect original art?
Because you love it. Because you have to have it in your life. Because your eyes are drawn back to that moment of life captured on the canvas in front of you. And every time you look, you see a new element. Because it makes you smile.
- All Savlen Originals come with a personalized note or dedication on the back of the canvas, and a personal letter from the artist. When you buy a Savlen Original, we will issue you with a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and a letter of valuation detailing your art investment.
