About the Artist:

Sid Maurer’s long career in the world of Art and Music began at seventeen when he was hired as an assistant art director at Columbia Records in New York City. From this point until his death in 2017, Maurer has created an exceptional catalogue of artworks in his own bold and personal style.

Beginning with a foothold in the music industry he designed album covers and promotional material for popular artists. His co-worker at the time: a young artist by the name of Andy Warhol. When Andy left to pursue a career in "serious" art, Maurer expanded his commercial art studio to tackle a wide range of projects for the music and film industries. His position brought him into contact with a group of artists from Pollock to Rauschenberg, who greatly influenced him as he developed his own style of painting.

Over the years, as Maurer's art exploded, so did his work with A-list clientele. Leaving him with remarkable stories from the likes of The Rolling Stones, Donovan, The Beatles and Marilyn Monroe to sport icons Babe Ruth and Cristiano Ronaldo and even politicians such as JFK and Martin Luther King.

In the early nineties, Maurer realised that the empire of music and art that he had helped to build left him little time to pursue his true passion: painting. He moved to Atlanta where he developed a vast catalogue of paintings. He had a special talent of capturing each client's unique ambiance of emotions and passion for their respective careers. His pieces were large mixed media artworks that are very much a product of his varied training and experience. He would create collages of his photographs, which he made by hand, before bombarding them with crayons, acrylics, watercolours, sumi ink and varnish. His style combined bold, dynamic colours and strokes with painstaking layouts and typographical elements. The result is the unique blend of a painter's passion tempered with the calculating compositional eye of a graphic designer. Pride, nostalgia, and hope were some of the key themes of his work, with his most recent pieces addressing the fascinatingly disparate elements within our culture.

In the last decade, his work has hung in a wide variety of venues, including the Georgia Capitol, the Carnegie Museum in Oxnard, California, and the U.C.L.A. campus.
