Dissolution by Pamela Sukhum

Lately Pamela is excited to unveil & release her new series of original paintings titled “Bamboo Amongst Oaks.” These highly vibrant and detailed pieces are very textural, with several impasto layers creating depth and luminosity. There are pieces of varying sizes & palettes in this series. Many of them have already been placed with collectors.

Bamboo Amongst Oaks 25 - original by Pamela Sukhum

Pamela shared with us her inspiration for these wonderful new works:

“These pieces are about finding a sense of home and belonging. Growing up in a small Midwest town as one of the only non-white students, I often felt as if I didn’t fit in with the others…..like a Bamboo Amongst Oaks. As the years went on, I left the confines of my small town and began to explore the world. In my travels I came across many different people, ideologies, and customs, and I began to realize that nearly everyone, regardless of race, origin, or background experiences this same longing for a sense of home and belonging in their lives. It is this shared experience that connects us all.

I believe we can come to love and appreciate all the differences that make each of us truly unique “that make each of us stand and grow towards the light” like a Bamboo Amongst Oaks.”

This contemporary custom oval cabinet by Edgar Lamas combines beauty and function, is designed for the art collector or homeowner with the most discriminating tastes.

Whether looking at his wall art paintings or his amazing modern home furnishings, Edgar Lamas is one of those craftsmen who takes a simple idea from functionality and transforms it into a stunning artistic statement.

Another beautiful custom cabinet by artist/designer Edgar Lamas.

Edgar’s works can span the range from brilliant sparkling Kandinsky style graphical multimedia paintings to colorful abstract pieces embellished with his unique hand metal work.  In the area of design, it may be a decorative pedestal or a bar;  a cabinet or a bookshelf.  Either way, the work will always be a culmination of art, design and exceptional craftsmanship. Edgar Lamas has an extraordinary gift in bringing all these elements together into a bold artistic statement.

Edgar Lamas combines exotic woods with metal work (typically stainless steel), automotive grade paints, hand etching, and  sometimes adds Swarovski crystals to his creations.  I say creations because it’s almost insulting to call his work just art, furniture or cabinetry because it’s so much more.

Each of Edgar Lamas’ creations combine functionality with elegance. Engineering with design.  It is art.  It is furniture. It is creativity.  It is a piece of beauty.

Edgar’s work is very limited in availability due to the high demand and extensive labor intensive nature of his work. Edgar’s works can therefore can be found exclusively at Hallmark Gallery in La Jolla, California.
