GENERAL PUBLIC ART
General Public, an art curation and publishing company based in LA, is revolutionizing the way we think about and collect art. Founded by Portia de Rossi, a collector and art world disruptor, General Public makes a radical proposition: a painting shouldn't be enjoyed by just one person, but should be available to all. The General Public Synograph™, a groundbreaking 3-D technology, redefines the limits of printing, recreating every detail of the original artwork with total fidelity. Capturing the nuances of brushwork and technique, these textured prints are an authentic expression of the artist's hand.

Through this abstract language, artist Marcia Priestley identifies the core value of a subject and the substance of its matter, distinct from its external appearance.

Untitled II
In Marcia Priestley's Untitled II, dynamic vertical brushstrokes create broad patches of color and an urgent sense of motion in layer upon layer of paint. These layers represent our own depths of emotion. Like our feelings, the layers are in constant flux, conveying volatility one moment and tranquility, or the Buddhist passaddhi, the next.
ABOUT .
General Public was developed by Portia de Rossi who believes that the choices for art should expand from the one-dimensional, giclee and poster print to more textured, dimensional works, containing influences from current art market trends. As a collector, Portia’s vision for General Public is to provide the public with a service that only the elite few are currently enjoying; the service of a trusted art professional to present a selection of carefully curated work.

“Marcia’s work evokes such serenity and elegance. I loved her confident, bold and expressive brushstrokes the very first time I saw her work.”
