About the Item
We are obsessed with the brilliance of Donald Beal's paintings, and we think you will be, too. The color and sense of light that unites all of his paintings project an unforgettable aura.
"Donald Beal's work breaks new ground in a gentle but inviting manner; his use of color and light are only devices designed to accent his unique sense of observation. What sets Beal's expression apart from those of his predecessors, however, is the lens from which he gazes. His perspective of nature is, in a sobering yet enlightening style, reflective of himself."
Donald Beal received an MFA from Parsons School of Design in 1983. In 1985 he moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he married photographer Khristine Hopkins. He has been a Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts in North Dartmouth from 1999 to 2015, and he continues to work and paint on Cape Cod and greater New England.

Donald Beal was born in 1959 in Syracuse, New York, and grew up in Westford, Massachusetts. He studied painting at the Swain School of Design in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, New York, and received an MFA from Parsons School of Design in 1983. In 1985 he moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he married photographer Khristine Hopkins. They have a son, Max. Donald Beal was a Professor of Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts in North Dartmouth, from 1999-2015. He continues to live and paint in Provincetown. He is a 2013 recipient of The Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant. He has exhibited widely, primarily in the Northeast fo the USA. (Interview with Donald Beal, Painting Perceptions, March 2017) "Sometimes the landscapes he paints are based on real locations, and other times they’re just 'stuff I chase around on a canvas until an image shows up,' Beal says. 'They come out of thin air — eventually.' 'Most people think all paintings are based on a plan,' Beal says, 'and sometimes they are. But other times it’s as if a three-legged priest makes an entrance and surprises the artist.'" (The Accidental Landscapes of Donald Beal by Larry Groff, April 2018.) "Beal resides in a charming house near the center of Provincetown, and his work reflects not only New England's light, color, and landscape but also his own unique, invented places....Lately, Beal has finished a series of landscapes that subtly challenge what it means to be a 'representational painter.' (Donald Beal's Memory Landscapes, by Anna Dempsey, April 2015) "Donald Beal's instinct for color is deeply appealing. And instinct it is. Color sense cannot be forced. It has to come of itself, rather as memories do, by natural association and unbidden, long after striving for it has ceased." --Maureen Mullarkey "But even with my long association and familiarity with Beal's work, his newest exhibition, simply titled Donald Beal: Selected Works was a revelation to me. --Don Wilkinson Donald Beal's work breaks new ground in a gentle but inviting manner; his use of color and light are only devices designed to accent his unique sense of observation. What sets Beal's expression apart from those of his formers, however, is the lens from which he gazes. His perspective of nature is, in a sobering yet enlightening style, reflective of himself. “I'm more interested in coming up with a voice that communicates something felt," said Beal. "Rather than (highlighting the beauty of a location), I'd rather add something that makes the viewer or myself feel something. In some way, it translates experience; it somehow gives voice to experience." …"I'm not trying to literally make the things in front of me," said Beal. "It's really a frantic, intuitive conversation, a contemplation of what's out in front of me, what it's like to be there at that moment." --Ben Runnels

- We All Have Wings, VIIIBy Tracey LaneLocated in Atlanta, GA"Nature is a celebration of the mystery, promise, and complexity of life. That is what I seek to capture in my work. I am interested in the experience of light and shadow, color and texture, the play between the seen and the unseen, between memory and imagination. As with all things in nature, there is a moment that says everything: the rapidly changing quality of light and shade in a forest, reflections moving in water, the hummingbird that suddenly appears, pauses, and then disappears, butterflies fluttering through the atmosphere. My paintings are about these ephemeral moments." An Atlanta, Georgia native, Tracey Lane had her first solo exhibition in Atlanta in 2001. Since that time, she has been shown in numerous exhibitions and has been represented by galleries in New York City, Boston, Chicago, Houston, and Santa Fe. Lane’s paintings have been featured in multiple publications, including American Art Collector and SouthwestArt Magazine, and her work is in collections all over the world. She is a fellow of The Hambidge Center for the Creative Arts & Sciences and holds a master’s degree in art history from Emory University.Category

- "Obliteration" Oil and Alkyd Painting on Wood Panels, Yellow, Red, OrangeBy Grace Graupe-PillardLocated in New York, NYGrace Graupe-Pillard has concentrated on portraiture since her early charcoal drawings which she exhibited at The Drawing Center, NYC in 1981. Her work, which has been exhibited at notable institutions such as MOMA PS1 and galleries including Cheim & Read Gallery (NY) and Carl Hammer Gallery (Chicago), has evolved from over the years from pastels to large-scale oil paintings and installations of people who she describes as “having not been integrated into mainstream society.” Her more recent paintings, inspired by selfies and iPhone photographs, attempt to convey the vitality and diversity of 21st century contemporary culture while capturing the ineffable moments in our lives. “The sensuality and radiant beauty of youth and ethnic diversity are depicted in my choice of subjects, as well as the ravages of time which are imprinted on our being. All stages of life are filled with humanity that both elevates and dissipates the spirit.” Her work has been written about in The NY Times, Art News, The Village Voice, The Star-Ledger, Newsday, Flash Art...Category
