About the Item

"Door #19 (Smile)" (2018) by Francesca Reyes Original oil, acrylic, pastel and graphite on wood panel; measures 8" H x 6" W x 1" D From the artist's door series, depicting doors that she has photographed mostly in Philadelphia where she lives and works. There are three dozen pieces in this series. This one shows a bright blue door and building wall and doorway with black outlines and a smiley face drawn in white pastel that looks like chalk. Francesca captures light and shadow, detail and texture in the most appealing ways to convey the interesting visual nature of the architectural subjects she's depicting. Oil Painting / Miniature and Small-Scale Paintings / Representations of Architecture / Bright Saturated Colors / Figurative Art / Minimalism and Contemporary Minimalist Certificate of Authenticity included Framing available upon request Statement from the Artist: "Through the lens of landscape, my work investigates conceptual understandings of habitat while exploring the formal properties of drawing, painting, and ceramics. My most recent ceramic series, Light Diaries, much like my paintings, acts as a love note to the city. These clay vignettes are a union of fragile objects and fleeting moments; sunlight kissing the cornice of a rowhouse, the subtle gradient of a morning sky, a window staring at a brick wall. While I move through the world and different stages of my life, I am continuously searching for places of respite. Light Diaries is an amalgam of observations and impressions from my surroundings. There are things that feel familiar, tugging at some tucked away memory, while others seem new and wholly unique. As a ceramicist, I’ve learned to surrender a certain level of control, allowing each clay painting to become an unexpected balance of intention and chance."

    Urbex is the English acronym for urban exploration and is an activity that consists of searching for and locating abandoned infrastructure with the goal of visiting, photographing and conveying its contents, with particular involvement of methodologies from geography, anthropology, sociology to cultural studies. 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. We often speak of a "brain drain," but in this case we are truly happy to be able to say that this is a "return," and an important one: an artist of international caliber who has decided to entrust her return to her homeland to Almach Art...

  • "Fence Jumper", oil painting, figurative, boy, flight, field, outside, summer
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "Fence Jumper" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a boy, a young lad leaps over the fence, seen here mid-flight. It's clearly important to the boy. His focus and sense of achievement ring out. Drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes render the scene, but also note the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact. From Will Hudson...

  • "A Vision at Sea", acrylic painting, storm, water, dream, poetry,
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    "A Vision at Sea" is an acrylic painting with graphite on wood measuring 22" high by 28" wide. It is a fraught moment for man and dog in the boat – they may be the Vision of the title but they are also struck by a vision they alone can see. Note the antlers at the front of the boat, the harsh and ragged shoreline, oars in the water – arguably in the tradition of storm-tossed poets at sea, fighting the Fates as much as the power of Nature. Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos and Disasters of War, and the personal mythologizing of the late paintings of Philip Guston. Such works echo throughout Williams social surrealist re-visioning." – George Del Barrio, Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY Dale Williams...
