Itzchak Tarkay Mixed Media Painting

This is a vibrant and stylized original or embellished mixed media work by renowned Israeli artist Itzchak Tarkay. The piece features two women in a cafe or lounge setting, a recurring theme in Tarkay's body of work. The palette is rich with a bold red background, contrasted by the women's colorful attire, including a floral-patterned shawl and a cloche-style hat. The artwork exhibits heavy impasto and textural linework, characteristic of Tarkay’s post-impressionist and fauvist-influenced style. The composition is elegantly framed in a gold-filigree ornate frame with a white liner accentuating the colors. A white signature is visible at the bottom right. The condition appears excellent with no visible fading, cracking, or damage to the canvas or frame assembly. The piece is notably paired with promotional material from 'Park West Gallery,' a major distributor of Tarkay’s work. The stylized figures and bold color blocking suggest the work was likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship is high, showing expert use of layered acrylics or serigraph-on-canvas techniques to achieve depth and vibrancy.
