Description: This is a Fantastic Estate Fresh old Oil on Masonite painting by Gallery quality artist James Cline of Albuquerque NM. This is one of the examples of his amazing style of Fantasy Art work. This man was truly a talented artist. The painting it entitled "ABYS" and features a wide variety of Creatures and Ghouls and Dead Spirits and Creepy Critters. Every time I look at this I see another creature in the shadows or parts of a previously seen thing that hides another inside it of part of it... its just amazing! Its an incredibly interesting piece with lots of areas that catch ones eye. The quality of the artwork is epic and on a wall, this will garner an evenings worth of interest and attention! I have a few other pieces of his that I will be listing soon, if not done already. At a Comicon setting this would be a 10,000.00 piece. There was a Fine Art Appraisal Report done for Cline in 1999 by a well established high quality Appraisal Company - ACA. Mary McDonald was a very knowledgeable and highly educated principal of same. This actual painting was listed in that appraisal and valued at $5500.00 20+ years ago. Its a beautiful piece of work and certainly an investment quality piece! James Cline (b1958? - d 2021) - Cline lived in Albuquerque NM his entire life. He started painting at a fairly young age. He went to Cibola High School here and graduated in 1976. Cline went to the Colorado Institute of Art for Commercial Design in 1980. After that he returned home and opened his own Art Gallery here in Albuquerque. The Kanion Rhodes Gallery. Interestingly enough, one of his Contemporaries, Steve Hanks was also a resident here in Albuquerque NM and of similar age, about 8 years apart. I am sure Hanks and Cline had become more than acquaintances. Similarities in some of their works is uncanny and I would wager they occasionally used the same Model for some of their work. Some of Clines realism paintings are of the same quality and style of Hanks and if 2 were unsigned you would probably have trouble telling who painted which one. An Art appraiser friend of mine , after seeing the works I bought, stated Cline is absolutely the best artist you never heard of.
