About The Artwork

See if you can find the objects in, Immanuel עמנואל, that identify the date of Christmas Eve, 2016. Find the Answer below: The Answer is: Since the year 1900 Hanukkah has started on Christmas Eve 2 times, 1940 and 1978. December 24th 2016 will be the third time this has happened since 1900. The Menorah, מנורה, in the painting has the first candle lit and the middle lighting candle ~ thus indicating that this is Christmas eve 2016 ~ the first day of Hanukkah 2016 ... I guess if you wanted to be fussy you could say it was either 2016 or 1978 by dating the cabin interior . . . but my wife Denise and I did not have gray hair in 1978. Therefore the only answer is 2016. : )

Konar's work is both light and dark in subject, approaching at every turn both the whimsical and the mischievous. He uses the canvas as a stage to capture moments of love and heroism, as well as times of human folly. His characters come from real life, from songs, from poems and from stories. All the stories take place under a starry sky with the drama of the constellations. Unexpected details are presented through the book on a shelf, the image in a mirror, the wallpaper pattern, an individual leaf, and many other visual gestures waiting to be unlocked by the viewer. His technique of using glaze upon glaze creates colors that are deep, rich and vibrant. There is a profound sense of mystery, nuance, symbolism and timelessness in the scenes he depicts. Of his process Konar says, "I work mostly in oils and the progress of each work is slow and sometimes tedious - my oils are built with glaze upon glaze, and detail upon detail. For me technique and investment of time are always subservient to achieving the final effect in the painting. I'm driven by and find my greatest satisfaction in what I create as a final work and not the process." Other artists have dubbed him "the storyteller" and have said that his paintings "speak to the soul". Matt & his wife Denise presently enjoy living in Grants Pass, Oregon where they enjoy visits from their children and grandchildren, and being in the midst of God's great northwest creation. 'Jesus in Blue Jeans' was awarded Best of Show in PlacerArts 30th Jubilee 2013 Open Juried Show. 'Ship of Fools' was also in the show.
