ARTISTPROFILE

Dorothy Simpson Krause

orothy Simpson Krause has always been one of our favorite mixed media artists. Her work is at the forefornt of combining art with the newest technologies, while keeping a consistent sense of artistic design, and fabulous color in every work. Sarah E. Fagan reviewed this body of work by Krause in the Summer 2009 issue of artscope. She said: “all of the chosen work, contains a metallic glow, both beautiful and apocalyptic. The show has been called a “plea” to make permanent the potentially ephemeral and ephemeral the potentially permanent, and the combined use of digital technologies and the handmade imparts a bewitching solemnity to

ccording to Krause, “As our global population increases exponentially, the effects of our actions are changing the environment. With global warming and the melting polar icecaps contributing to rising ocean levels, we are literally and figuratively losing ground. Over the past several years Krause work has focused on the beauty of the land and its potential loss. She works with both large-scale mixed media pieces and artists books combining traditional art materials with digital processes. Her most current series, “Losing Ground” includes wall-hung pieces printed primarily on uv cured flatbed printers on substrates such as aluminum and polycarbonate. Extremes of temperature are reflected in color palettes that range from burning red to cold silver grey. Recycled copper is a recurring material and water is a recurring image. One of Krause books, also titled “Losing Ground” was produced in three editions; a 12” x 12” deluxe edition of 6 bound in aubergine Nigerian goat, a limited edition of 100 also 12” x 12” bound in black linen, and a 7” x 7” softcover open edition available on Blurb.

GALLERYPROFILE

aldwell Snyder Gallery specializes in 21st-century American and European paintings, drawings, sculpture, and limited-edition prints, including major American post-war and emerging contemporary artists. The gallery has developed a particular niche in introducing new collectors to European and Latin American painters and sculptors who have earned a following in their home countries but rarely shown in the United States.

stablished in 1983 in San Francisco, Caldwell Snyder Gallery has since expanded to two locations: Sutter Street in San Franciscoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned Union Square district, and downtown St. Helena, Napa Valley, in the turn-of-the-century Star Building, listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The gallery features a combined 12,000 square feet of exhibition space with shows changing monthly, and is an active member of the San Francisco Art Dealers Association.

In addition to mounting exhibitions, gallery staff work closely with private collectors in building their collections, locating works of art, providing art advisory services, and assisting individuals in home or corporate installations.

Bavarian Marriage Schrank This marriage “schrank,” or cabinet, is exemplary of mid-19th century of Bavarian peasant (or rustic) craftsmanship. Its bold rectangular shape is topped with a step-moulded, faux-marbled cornice with canted corners, directly above a frieze with two recessed panels inscribed with “Maria Brandacker” centering “1843.” The name suggests this as a wedding gift. The date indicates this was one of the last models of its time; by the late 19th-century, factory-produced models replaced local industries. $28,000 Arader Galleries

DESIGNSTUDIO

Frank Webb’s Living Room, NYC

HITE EBB An unlikely pairing of Top Designers

he design team of Matthew White and Frank Webb is an unlikely pairing. Perhaps the Odd Couple of interior design, White is buttoned

up with a smart bowtie to Webb’s sweater and sport coat. White’s aesthetic is classical; Webb prefers a modern look. The two met shortly after moving into the same Gramercy Park apartment building and bonded while commiserating over their respective renovations. Each immediately appreciated the other’s sense of style, and together they undertook a redesign of the building’s lobby. “The project was a good meeting of the minds,” says Webb. Inspired by the success of that collaboration, the two joined forces and founded White Webb. Now in its fifth year, White Webb has an office on New York’s Madison Avenue, a booming interior design business, and several product lines on the market. Webb describes their firm as “a blend of new ideas mixed with old inspiration, with architecture as our jumping-off point.”

Their work is steeped in history, specifically the history of Italy. “I’m interested in ancient Rome and the Renaissance,” says White. “While Frank likes the 1940s-60s.” No matter the time period, White explains, “There is a joy in Italian design. You can see them smiling. We love that.”

ertainly you can see both White and Webb smiling in their newly launched Itaglio product line. The pieces are Pop Art renderings of ancient Rome. Taking inspiration from early engravings and sculptures, White Webb created silkscreened interpretations of the originals. 2-D table lamp bases are take-offs of ornate urns. Their graphic console is a copy of one from the ancient world. “It’s fun to dabble in furniture design,” says Webb. “It is a creative way to Itaglio Lamp

hite Webb is also passionate about reflective surfaces. “We are interested in the idea of reflection: antique mirror, antiqued mirror, Lucite, glass. We’ve designed small tables in Venetian glass made by Seguso Viro,” says White. “Where appropriate, we love gold leaf. We use a lot of natural fibers which tend to be more matte and receding so that something shiny and glamorous can pop off it.”

“It’s also the reason we started our Clearly Classic line, to add a sparkle but be innocuous at the same time,” explains Webb. Their Clearly Classic pieces are polished acrylic occasional tables. The tables are modern in material; however, their shapes are cut in historical lines inspired by travels

urthering their exploration of reflection, the team is working on their newest series of home accents that will be inspired by jewels and jewel tones. “During this economic downturn, it is uplifting to surround yourself with great, glamorous color,” says Webb. “We are working on projects in the jewel space in form and color. Not the traditional jewel. Rather one that is tweaked ever so slightly.”

The jewel tone they gravitate towards most in their work is purple. “We’re interested in muted versions of purple. Recently, we covered a sofa entirely in aubergine fabric from Donghia by Castel,” Webb explains. “There’s a lot happening with purple now that is just slightly off. Whether the red or blue direction, purple is a strong color but it is being rendered in subtler ways.” “However,” White warns, “purple is a difficult color. It is a very tricky color to get

hat spark is woven throughout White Webb’s designs. Recently, they have been turning small spaces into magical retreats.

“Little alcoves or corners are something that people are asking for,” says White. “For instance, there was a cloak room but this young family wanted a new idea for it. I suggested an adult area where they could go with their friends and close the children out.”

ailored to the tiny space, they ordered custom mirrors from Campbell Glass and got the camel from J.F. Chen. “We

named it the boxcar on the Orient Express,” Webb continues. “You go in and it’s Shangri-La. This was an 8’ x 10’ fantasy room.” Fantasy seems to be the through line in White Webb’s work, be it interior or product design. Whether a gleaming tin can lid wall treatment or a couch upholstered in purple, these two enjoy touches of whimsy. “There’s a certain amount of fantasy in all of our work,” says White. “Even our more conservative work has elements of fantasy to help realize our clients’ dreams.”
