Peter Max:
The latest retrospective features over 140 pieces of unique Peter Max artwork, including original paintings and drawings. The subject matter of the work ranges from the well known "Cosmic" images, to his famous iconic paintings, such as the “Statue of Liberty,” and "Flag with Heart" and the latest edition, the newly unveiled portrait of President Obama.
Max has painted an installation of 44 portraits of President Barack Obama to commemorate our new 44th President. Max was deeply inspired by this historical election, as well as for the renewed hope and enthusiasm that Obama has generated amongst hundreds of millions of people in America and around the world. Single portraits of Obama will be featured in the exhibit.
With paintings on exhibition in hundreds of museums and galleries worldwide, Peter Max and his vibrant colors have become a part of the fabric of contemporary culture. Often incorporating iconic symbols of America into his work, Max has painted for seven U.S. presidents, created the official artwork and poster for the Clinton Inauguration, his "Flag With Heart" impressionistic paintings of the American flag are in permanent installations in the Carter, Reagan and Bush presidential libraries in addition to his statue of Liberty paintings, which have become an annual painting tradition since America's Bicentennial, in 1976 and led to Max playing a lead role in the renovation of the Statue of Liberty.

Sirani Gallery is pleased to announce two new exhibitions of work currently on display. The first is by American painter Frank Gonzales who is rapidly gaining recognition throughout the U.S. and Europe. As an artist Gonzales aims to create a dialogue between the viewer and the canvas. To do so he uses recognizably classical subject matter intermixed with both geometric and organic shapes all done through a profound understanding of color-theory and composition. Gonzales explains his work to be very “process oriented”, essentially remaining open to possibilities from the beginning of the composition until the final brush stroke.

Sharing a similar style and approach to the creative process is our second new artist, Hector Fernandez. Fernandez was born in Barcelona, Spain where he still lives and works today. His work demonstrates an uncanny technical ability. By removing everyday elements from urban life, often looked upon from untraditional perspectives, he has created what has become known as new realism. A professional artist for two decades, Fernandez was invited to join the prestigious Sant Lluc Artistic Circle. Founded in 1893, the Circle has included an array of modern masters such as Gaudi, Miro, Llmona, Casas and others. Fernandez’ work has brought this brand of realism to the forefront of modern European Painting. For additional bio information or more work from either artist, free to visit our website SiraniGallery.com. For questions regarding either of these artists, any of our other artists, or upcoming shows/exhibitions, feel free to call (412.422.2121) or send an email (info@(AT)siranigallery.com).

Genie Maples Exhibition
October 17 through November 9, 2008
Featuring work from Genie Maples
Location: Sirani Gallery

Opening Event: October 17, 2008 Time:6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Art that engages the eye, soothes the spirit and stimulates emotion.

Genie Maples’ use of color is a hallmark of her artwork. One might see swishes of white leaping about and ascending toward the heavens like the fully awakened spirit, against a backdrop of turquoise, indigo, and orange. Water might be evident, or a dream, or the sky. But, her abstract images all speak of a journey through life. The literal description of Maples’ art is only a preface to the fascinating spiritual perspective of a color theorist: that one’s inner life is firmly grounded in comfortable self-worth and achievement, and is balanced by connection to spiritual life - consisting of both the quest for and discovery of truth - and the breach that occurs is the refreshment of the spirit, following struggle to reach equilibrium.

Sirani Gallery address is 5875 Forbes Ave in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh, PA, 15217, Phone number 412.422.2121.

New Artists:

ROBERT CHEVALIER Chevalier's atmospheric abstract paintings pull you in and ask "what else do you see?" Textured backgrounds and smooth surfaces create a rich and unique combination.

MELANIE SIMARD In Melan's paintings dimension is created by adding more and more substance. You want to touch the strong and harmonious shapes of her beautifully textured surfaces.

KATIA POULIN Katia's paintings tell a story, often one based on her dreams. She transports us to futuristic atmospheres with her diverse variety of mediums including charcoal, pastel, oil and glaze.

Sirani Gallery derives its name from Elisabetta Sirani, a talented Italian artist (1638-1665). When she died at 27 she already had produced over 200 paintings, drawings and etchings. She ran her family’s art workshop and supported her parents, three siblings and herself from the age of 19 years until her death. Sirani was a native of Bologna, a city famous for its progressive attitude toward women’s rights as well as for producing other successful female artists. She was first trained by her father and then by a family friend and influential art critic, Count Carlo Cesare Malvasia, who became her mentor. Elisabetta Sirani quickly became known for her ability to paint beautifully finished canvases quickly and exactingly. Her portraits, mythological subjects, and images of the Holy Family were acquired by wealthy and royal patrons, including the house of de Medici. Besides leaving an important painting legacy, through Sirani’s own teaching, more than a dozen other young women and her sisters later became professional painters.
