Congratulations to John O Gentile the winner of the SHOWDOWN Head-To-Head. The artwork cargo will compete with other SHOWDOWN finalists to find an overall winner.

| | Artist Name: John O Gentile | | | Title: cargo | | | Size: 68"x68" 172x172cm | | Medium: oil on canvas | | | Description: abstract grid with reference to reality. My paintings can be categorized as abstract, but with a reference to realism. The subjects come from magazines and newspapers, this allows me to continue to portray the contemporary world as I see it. The grid flows spontaneously and freely over the surface of the canvas, with lines of specific dimensions related to the size of the canvas. Some have interpreted this criss-cross of lines to be similar to the paintings of Brice Marden. The difference is that he paints these lines going around the canvas and going over the other lines of different colors. My lines, as they flow, tell a story, a real story. You can look inside these lines and follow to the next intersection, something realistic appears. You can stop and actually see what it is, then continue on to the next stop and something else will appear. So looking at my paintings from a distance the overall grid pattern is abstract, but looking at them close up, you can see very realistic forms inside. I would define my work as : Hyper-Realistic Abstractions. John O. Gentile | | | | CLICK HERE TO VIEW MORE ARTWORK BY THIS ARTIST | |

Congratulations to Michal Cole the winner of the SHOWDOWN Head-To-Head. The artwork The Deer will compete with other SHOWDOWN finalists to find an overall winner.
| )
| | Artist Name: Michal Cole | | | Title: The Deer | | | Size: 90X 60 | | Medium: Photography | | | Description: Secret Delights/The Zoo Series
These photographic series are a personal and contemporary interpretation inspired by the “official” portraits made by great masters such as Titian and Van Dyke.
It represents a humoristic and fetishist view on the subject of the ‘social mask’ – that is, how we present ourselves to the world with regards to our social status, physical appearance and sexuality.
The subjects are photographed in the women’s own homes, wearing their choice of clothing. Prior to the shoot, I ask them to imagine what their ‘inner animal’ is. I then stitch a handmade mask to their specifications to represent this. I sew the mask to the collar of their garment and photograph them. It is important to mention that none of the masks were bought. Each mask was individually hand sewn, an antidote to the blank uniformity that such an item might otherwise represent.
In Secret Delights, the woman is wearing a gimp-style mask, rather than an animal mask. In the context of her surroundings, the mask is simultaneously sinister and amusing, empowering and disempowering. The Zoo pictures, which evolved from the Secret Delights series, have a more liberating feel. The masks reflect the individuality of each woman and allow a playful response to desires, which might be disturbing or bizarre. The fables of La Fontaine, which use animals to explore human concerns, were also an (early) inspiration for these pictures.
The masks provide the women with the comfort of anonymity, while in contrast, their body postures, personal belongings and environment deliver their own message to the viewer. The masks are vehicles to explore those aspects of ourselves, which we might usually conceal.
