'Midcentury Science of Material Traces, ' George Oswalt, Oil on Canvas Painting

2014

About the Item

This 32" x 28" oil on canvas painting, 'Midcentury Science of Material Traces,' by artist George Oswalt features a redheaded nude woman standing near a black toy figurine with the face of a Raggedy-Ann doll floating in the sky above her. In the distance, a mid-century style home sits on a hill near two trees. George Oswalt had his first one-man show in 1974 and since has shown in national and regional exhibitions including group and one-person shows. He received his MFA in 1993 from the University of Oklahoma and has taught art in both high school and college over a 30 year period. Oswalt authored an art review column for the Oklahoma Gazette and is currently painting full time. He is included in both private and public collections including the Fred Jones Art Museum in Norman,Oklahoma; the Goddard in Ardmore, Oklahoma; the Mabee-Gerrer Museum in Shawnee, Oklahoma and the Oklahoma State Museum of Art in Stillwater, Oklahoma. "My paintings of figures and objects in vivid color are meditations on living in a hybrid world which has manifested into visual poems of beauty, yearning, time and space. I have spent years working in several series of paintings that deal with weightlessness, loss and life transitions. The imagery is intended to take the viewer on a journey of human yearning which is not merely marked by striving towards something but also by escaping from something." -- George Oswalt

  • 'Can Hats Favor Fire? Can a Hat Aspire to Higher Things?, ' by Mark Gilmore
    By Mark Gilmore
    Located in Oklahoma City, OK
    The full frontal female figure is suspended in mid-air with both arms in motion, seemingly about to jump off the canvas. The blurred figure is set against a clear, graphic backdrop of reds, black and other dark tones with a turquoise rectangular box framing the torso of the figure. A simple black wooden frame frames the work. "I have been active in telling stories with images for over 45 years. My fascination with shapes and textures are my earliest memories and everything I have done in my adult life has revolved around these interests. I learned a lot about color, composition and story telling by stripping all sentimentality from these elements and using them for more than 25 years as a designer. Although I enjoy the challenge and variety of commissions, my own work is very personal. My work has always been about expressing the otherness and mystery just underneath everyday life. Reacting to the ephemeral nature of life and mortality. All of my personal paintings are just different ways of expressing one moment, one feeling. I’m describing a place I’ve never been with a language I’ve never spoken but I’ve spent my whole life trying to get there because its my home." -- Mark Gilmore...
