Michael Dandley
"Fall and Swell", Gouache on Paper, Abstract Design, Geometric Abstraction

2023

About the Item

This piece titled "Fall and Swell" is an original piece by Michael Dandley and is made from gouache on paper. This piece measures 12.5”h x 10.25”w framed, and is shipped in the featured white frame. Originally from Massachusetts, USA, I currently live and work in Zürich, Switzerland. My paintings describe a world separate from, but perhaps, distantly related to our own. A place where ancient machines and prowling monsters traverse a landscape spotted with the rubble of earlier ages. Following this world’s internal rules and history, I have begun to depict the behavior, abilities, and technologies of the world's inhabitants as they navigate this strange and often volatile realm. Each painting begins with a detailed graphite drawing on paper rendered from a combination of source photographs and my own internal understanding of how objects are constructed. Pigment is applied over graphite with water soluble gouache. the initial application of paint is made in thin washes that build in opacity as finer details are layered atop the underpainting. Color-palette is selected to evoke emotion and imply energies typically invisible to the naked eye. The stylization borrows from pop iconography of the late 20th century that first formed my visual memory through film and graphic novels.

  • 'Spring Beauties" - naturalist landscape, colorful, botanical, layered
    By Carlyle Wolfe Lee
    Located in Atlanta, GA
    "Spring Beauties" is an abstract landscape featuring hues of green, purple and blue. This work is framed in a simple white frame behind Museum Glass measuring 28 by 36 inches. Carlyle is inspired by the works of Claude Monet, Edouard Vuillard, Henri Matisse, Walter Inglis Anderson, Charles Burchfield, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder and Mary Delany. This piece is part of a collaborative series by Carlyle and her husband Thad Lee. This body of work was made in tandem, through painting and photography, that explores their mutual delight in the natural world and within their own marriage. Carlyle Wolfe’s paintings & works on paper are about an awareness of the natural world—becoming progressively, cyclically more present to its rhythms, gaining deeper understanding of its design, & acquiring direct experiential knowledge of its mysterious beauty. For the last 15 years, Wolfe has been making contour line drawings of plants form observation. From her drawings, she isolates silhouettes into paper stencils which she uses to create oil paintings & works on paper – or cut out of metal to make sculptures. Her work is cumulative in nature – gradually marking time & seasonal change, unity & variety, individual & collective beauty. Wolfe grew up in Canton, Mississippi, & earned a BFA in painting from the University of Mississippi & an MFA in painting & drawing from Louisiana State University. She has also studied in Cortona, Italy, & at the University of Georgia. Wolfe has exhibited work throughout the South, including Spalding...
