10 Travel Questions with Mark Kostabi
American born, Estonian-heritaged Mark Kostabi is one of the most successful — and prolific — fine artists on the planet. His collectors are rabid and snap up his new work before the paint is dry (sometimes that is literally true, as they will buy from an emailed sketch). Among artists he’s highly respected, and he dutifully plays his part in the art scene, like a medieval baron making sure he appears at the royal court when expected. But some critics, particularly in America, have been dismissive of him because he has the temerity to admit he operates studios, in Rome and New York, where dozens of talented painters actually paint his canvasses, from drawings and detailed ideas from Mark.

Mark Kostabi...Faceless, Timeless, Priceless
Like the every man (and every woman) subject so characteristic in his artworks, Mark Kostabi is himself an intriguing, enigmatic presence at once nowhere and everywhere in his art. Kostabi, a prodigious artist, composer and musician, was born in Los Angeles in 1960. He studied art at Cal State Fullerton and while still in school he met art dealer Molly Barnes, who sold his work to Hollywood luminaries such as Ray Stark, Dough Cramer, and Norman Lear. His work also graced the cover of the Guns “N” Roses album “Use Your Illusion”.

THE TROMPE-L’OEIL MASTER IS BACK
Translating literally from French as to deceive or trick the eye, trompe-l’oeil describes works whose subjects are presented so realistically that they make viewers wonder whether they are actually real. This concept was masterfully adapted by Philippe Bertho who time and again showcases his virtuoso skills at evoking different textures and creating convincing visual illusions.
