James Michalopoulos Painting Of New Orlean's Mausoleums

Chairish

$7,500

This New Orleans cemetery painting showcases three mausoleums and a full moon, with expressive layers of oil paint creating a rich, textured depth. It blends the cemetery scene with power lines, poles, and a glowing moon in the background, subtly adding religious symbolism through the crosses formed by the poles between the mausoleums. Signed, dated 2002, and numbered 6354 and 118, it was purchased by Clover’s Cottage from the gallery years ago. The artist’s signature style—off-kilter angles, distorted perspectives, and elongated forms—gives equal focus to the graves, mausoleums, and power lines. Capturing the haunting beauty of a New Orleans cemetery at night, the sharp contrasts of light and shadow give it a striking presence. While untitled on the back, the piece stands out for its unique qualities, and the current owners have long been intrigued by the religious imagery created by the old-fashioned telephone poles, lending it a dreamlike, almost psychedelic feel typical of the artist’s cemetery series.
