LIMITED EDITION CANVAS - KA00010
NOTES: Although renowned as a “plein air” painter, Ken Auster’s “culinary arts” paintings prove just how exciting documenting the ordinary in an extraordinary manner can be.“Color makes or breaks a painting,” says Ken. His stew of rich, broad strokes and vibrant colors, workaday life of restaurants with impressionist-inspired murals, and chefs at work in kitchens, gives us a savory taste of his fine art.
With the passionate intensity and dexterity of a master chef, Auster creates a delicious recipe all his own. It’s no wonder his spontaneous and dynamic brushwork has attracted the attention of collectors. Gallery owners are talking about the “overnight success” of Ken Auster, but the reality is those instincts and talent have been honed through years of study and practice. Knowledgeable collectors have been buying his originals for years. Here is the opportunity for the rest of us to catch up..
Counter Culture Canvas by Ken Auster is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

KRemembering Ken Auster It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our artist, Ken Auster. In his formative years in Long Beach, California, Ken grew up with his feet deeply planted in surf and sand. Caught up in the ground swell of the 1960s surfing culture, Ken plunged into both the sport and the art and graphics that came out of the new surfing craze. In the 1990s, Ken Auster moved into plein air painting, capturing immediate scenes in a painterly realist manner, but maintaining a strong graphic sensibility from his previous experience. The result was a painterly evocation of cityscapes, landscapes, interiors and, of course, beach scenes that have an uncommon graphic and geometric strength. In his own words, Ken described his art: βIβm really drawn to the irony of what I do. I love that juxtaposition of paintings you recognize from art history with everyday experiences. What I like to do is paint things a little more common, more everyday. They say if you are able to take something ugly and paint it beautifully, then youβll have a beautiful painting and something a little beyond the obvious or whatβs expected.β We will miss working with Ken, and cherish his work that we published.
