Bette Ridgeway
"Great Day for a Balloon Ride", Bette Ridgeway, 90X52, Acrylic/Canvas, Abstract

2023

About the Item

Today we can consider the artist Bette Ridgeway as the one and only true heir of Paul Jenkins: her mentor and teacher. Ridgeway's painting is dynamic and rhythmic; like the most “enlightened” of contemporary composers, Bette traces on canvas what is her ideal score. There is a tacit harmony of color and movement which, through the elegance of the castings, leads the viewer to question the true meaning of art. In "Great Day for a Balloon Ride" Bette has successfully poured yellow, orange, red, and blue paint to create fluidity achieving almost feather-like figures within each other. The painting measures90x52 and is an original piece that is acrylic on canvas. Devoted to the powerful autonomy and perceptual properties of color, New Mexico-based artist Bette Ridgeway has spent her artistic career developing a radiant body of abstractions that place her at the forefront of the second generation of Abstract Expressionists which is portrayed here miraculously.

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
