About the Item
"Waiting for a Sign" is a thought-provoking oil on panel painting by the artist Matt Talbert, completed in 2023. It measures 22 x 28 inches (55.88 x 71.12 cm), and the framed dimensions are 23.25 x 29.25 inches.
Talbert's skillful use of oil paint creates a luminous and textured portrait of a subject gazing upward, perhaps in anticipation or in search of something beyond the immediate surroundings. The strokes are both bold and delicate, capturing the play of light on the subject's features and hair, while the choice of colors imbues the painting with a sense of warmth and depth.
This contemporary figurative work is a primary market piece, provided directly by the artist to the gallery, ensuring its provenance and direct lineage from the artist's studio to the collector.
The painting is encased in a frame that is finely tuned to the artwork's dimensions and palette, enhancing the visual experience without detracting from the poignant expression of the subject. This framing choice not only elevates the artwork's aesthetic but also ensures its preservation.
"Waiting for a Sign" speaks to the moments of anticipation that are a universal part of the human experience, making it a resonant piece for collectors and viewers alike. The artwork's ability to capture such an introspective moment makes it an exceptional addition to any collection, inviting prolonged contemplation and engagement.

Matt Talbert
Matt Talbert is a contemporary oil painter living in Southern California. Both a graduate from the Orange County School of the Arts and the Laguna College of Art and Design, he is now named one of the "Top 100 Figurative Artist Working Now" by Poets Artists Magazine. Matt's primary focus is expressive paintings of the human figure exhibited in galleries such as Arcadia Contemporary in Los Angeles and the Salmagundi Club in New York. While he grew up at the beach, Matt attributes much of his artistic development to his years spent in New York City. Working in the basement of the famous Pearl art store on Canal Street and meeting a wide range of artists from all disciplines was indispensable. You can find Matt’s work in recent issues of American Art Collector, International Artist, and Poets Artists Magazine. This summer he will be unveiling a large scale portrait commission for notable Australian architect Billy Kavellaris. I paint people, but I am more interested in conveying an emotional state rather than illustrating an outward appearance. I blur the line between our physical reality and the one that is going on in our heads. Using thick textures and bold colors, I combine both traditional and experimental techniques to enhance the emotions at play. Trusting my intuition, embracing spontaneity and doing so with confidence are the keys to my latest body of work. -Matt Talbert

Her works have been in the past approached to the works of Anselm Kiefer (b. 1945) and Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720-1770), but in Gullotta's paintings the absence of color makes the spaces particularly ethereal, allowing them to be ideally lifted to new places and to new life.
