Against an incandescent field of red — ranging from the deep crimson of fresh blood to the molten orange of late afternoon light — a spare still life unfolds with quiet drama: a low plate holding a pair of golden persimmons to the left, and a dark, voluminous jug flanked by a slender bottle to the right. Bold black panels anchor the upper corners, framing the composition like a stage curtain drawn back to reveal a world entirely defined by color, temperature, and stillness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"description\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0in 0in 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #3a2e22;\"\u003eCathelin's genius was to make color itself the subject. Rather than describing objects, he coaxes light from them — the persimmons glow as if lit from within, the tabletop shimmers between orange and red, and the negative space vibrates with chromatic warmth. In his lithographs, Cathelin set out to achieve the same material density and tactile richness as his oil paintings, and this exceptional large-format épreuve d'artiste proves he succeeded. The piece is hand-signed by the artist and annotated as an artist's proof — outside the standard numbered edition — making it a uniquely personal document of Cathelin's practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"description\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0in 0in 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.5pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; color: #3a2e22;\"\u003eAt 44 by 92 inches, this is a work that demands wall space worthy of it. It is equally at home in a modern loft, a collector's library, or a gallery-caliber living room.
