Mark Kostabi (b. 1960, USA) “Embracing the Future” is a hand signed/dated (2019) and numbered (52/100) original serigraph. The sheet size is 13.75 x 13.75 inches, and it has been double-matted and framed measuring 20.25 x 16.25 inches. The image is a variation on an original 46 x 46-inch oil on canvas by the noted artist and composer titled, “Eternal Radiance.” Kostabi’s faceless figures are standing in a timeless interior space, embracing while an angel is joyously dancing in celebration of the couple’s eternal embrace. In this piece, there is a work of art on the wall of the room that resembles one of Kostabi’s images of a man wearing a hat. In the original oil, depicted in that space is a window facing the Eiffel Tower, identifying the location as Paris. (See last photo.)
1960 Los Angeles, United States
Kalev Mark Kostabi (born November 27, 1960) is an American artist and composer.
Kostabi was born in Los Angeles on November 27, 1960, to Estonian immigrants Kaljo and Rita Kostabi. He was raised in Whittier, California and studied drawing and painting at California State University, Fullerton. In 1982 he moved to New York and by 1984 he became a prominent figure of the East Village art scene, winning the "Proliferation Prize" from the East Village Eye for being in more art exhibitions than any other New York artist.
Kostabi is most known for his paintings of faceless figures which often comment on contemporary political, social and psychological issues, and which have visual stylistic roots in the work of Giorgio de Chirico and Fernand Léger. Beyond traditional art world exposure, Kostabi has designed album covers for Guns N' Roses (Use Your Illusion) and The Ramones (¡Adios Amigos!), Seether (Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray), Jimmy Scott (Holding Back The Years), Glint (Sound in Silence), RK: Roman Klun (Kingsway), Psychotica (Espina) and numerous products including a Swatch watch,[2] Alessi vases, Rosenthal espresso cups, Ritzenhoff milk glasses, and a Giro d'Italia pink jersey.
Kostabi is also known for his many collaborations with other artists including Enzo Cucchi, Arman, Howard Finster, Tadanori Yokoo, Enrico Baj and Paul Kostabi.
