About the Item

Blue Striped Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Paper Bright, saturated abstract painting by California-based artist Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece began as a monoprint - paint was applied to a panel and then pressed into the paper. Then, additional layers of paint were added on top in blue. The under layer is mostly red and black, with some yellow accents. The blue shapes have a striped pattern. Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Paper size: 19"H x 16"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's. He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg, Alice Robertson Carr, Deborah Eve Alastra, Russell Kelly, and Diana Mark.
