The painting features a wonderfully and professionally crafted giclee on canvas construction that shows four chefs peeling a tomato in a line kitchen. The artist signature can be seen on the right side and right corner of the painting and is numbered 91/100. Raised in Long Beach, Ken Auster early established a reputation as the surfers' artist, having designed and executed numerous surfer-motif tee shirts in silk screen. He worked from a garage and printed hundreds of commercial T-shirts, which became a large operation called California T-Shirts. For more than a decade, the shirt is became signature casual wear for surfers and were sold through 26 of Auster's retail outlets. In the 1980s, the business fell apart which was a relief to him because his interest had turned to fine art. He moved to Laguna Beach and after creating collages and serigraphs, he began oil painting and did popular surfing scenes. Ken Auster won First Prize at the Carmel Arts Festival in 2002. Ken Auster passed away January 29, 2016. The condition of this giclee on canvas is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition.

COASTAL CACTUS - KEN AUSTER
Est: $3,360 - $5,040
Coastal Cactus - Ken Auster - Hand Signed - Canvas Edition -image Size: 48"w X 40"h. Edition Size:50 - Ken Auster's Contemporary California Impressionism took on new dimensions when he created this eight-foot landscape of the Southern California coast. In the late 1800s when the Impressionists ventured out of their studios and into nature to capture the effects of sunlight and atmosphere, it was quite revolutionary. Today it?s a familiar concept. ?Artists come to the Laguna Beach area from all over the world because of the light, the way the sea affects the atmosphere and the natural beauty of the beach and surrounding hills,? says artist Ken Auster, who's own fresh style works classic plein air magic in the studio. ?I work only in oils and my paintings are very ?juicy,? very loose and very of-the-moment.? Auster has an exceptional eye for chromatic subtleties and his understanding of color and light are on display in this pair of dramatically out-sized Southern California landscapes, the first two of this new series. A lifetime can be spent filling in the details as the eye travels, catches and circles around this landscape. The four foot wide MasterWork? canvas (half the size of the original painting) will transform any room it graces. You can almost smell the land, heat and sea breeze in these West Coast landscapes.
