Barbara Leiner
Spilling My Guts

2014

About the Item

Abstract expressionist painter, Barbara Leiner engages with the landscape in a dialogue between line, color, texture, femininity, and emotional strength and vulnerability. Leiner draws her inspiration from the natural splendor and fundamental geometry of the landscape, exploring line and gesture through her painting. By experimenting with a process of layering color, she creates dynamic moments of energy and action syncopated with areas of rest and monochromatic stillness. Barbara’s elegant and sometimes chaotic lines dance cohesively together, developing a strong, coherent series of work. "My paintings represent a visual conversation that I have with landscape. Whether it be figurative, still life or generalized topography. Color and line drive me. A pulsating awakening as the painting evolves. Boundaries of the canvas, tension of color and form lead me. Life’s landscapes are the thread of my work, life and art coexist for me. Stretching my canvas begins my journey. I leave myself the freedom to go in any direction. The conversation begins with line; color and texture follow. I like to build and create lines and textures that compliment and challenge each other. I have always thrived on a push-pull energy, which keeps me alive and engaged in my work. I create, destroy and rebuild. Along the process I take the time to sit and observe, letting the work speak to me. Integrity and honesty in the creative process always foremost." - Barbara Leiner

  • Everything is Early (Colorful Autumn colors Large Abstract Oil painting, Nature)
    By Richmond Burton
    Located in Cody, WY
    Richmond Burton’s works are known for their kaleidoscopic color, undulating patterns, and lyrical handling of expressionistic mark making. His Visceral, seductive, and organic compositions play with decorative patterning without compromising a conceptual backbone. Their intensity of vision allows for transcendent thought, experience, and connection while challenging any preconceived norms or rules defining abstract painting. “Structure is never absent; it’s just uninsistent, even accidental. The paintings are built up in stages, but never give the impression of being hard-worked. They have a fluid, textural presence, like luxury fabrics printed with overlapping, off-register layers of patterning.” — Holland Cotter, The New York Times (1999). Richmond Burton (b. 1960, Talladega, AL) obtained a BA in architecture from Rice University Houston, TX (1984). He lives and works in Woodstock, NY. Burton has shown extensively both domestically and internationally and has work in the collections of The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; The Broad, Los Angeles, CA; Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; Fogg Museum at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, NY; and National Gallery of Art, Washington DC, among others. Recent solo exhibitions include venues such as Sarah Moody Gallery of Art at University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL (2015); Silas Marder Gallery, Bridgehampton, NY (2014); Philip Slein Gallery, St. Louis, MO (2013); and George Lawson...
