Enrique Climent Paintings
1897-1980
Enrique Climent was a Spanish painter and graphic designer, who was present in the Spanish Pavilion of the International Exhibition of Paris in 1937, and two of whose works are conserved in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, as part of the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, Spain. He was exiled in Mexico, the country in which he died at 83. He has been associated with the driving group in Spain of the "New Art". Born in a bourgeois family of the Valencian capital, despite paternal opposition, Climent studied at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts, and with a scholarship received in 1919, he traveled to Madrid to complete them in San Fernando. In the capital of Spain, he participated in the gathering of Ramón Gómez de la Serna, for whom he illustrated some greguerías, and in the avant-garde activities of the then-called first Escuela de Vallecas, associated with the Society of Iberian Artists. He also collaborated as an illustrator of Blanco y Negro magazine and illustrated books by Elena Fortún, Azorín, Juan Manuel Díaz Caneja and Manuel Abril. In 1924, he had been to Paris and stayed there for two years, where he came to design some stage sets for opera shows. He participated in three of the exhibitions of "Los Ibéricos" (San Sebastián in 1931, Copenhagen in 1932 and Berlin in 1933) as well as in the International Exhibitions of Contemporary Spanish Art in Paris and Venice in 1936. He was one of the Spanish exiles who in 1939 landed in Veracruz, after the crossing of the Sinaia, along with other intellectuals and artists (such as José Moreno Villa, Arturo Souto or Remedios Varo. In Mexico, Climent approached his avant-garde style to the realistic tendencies of the decade of 1940 but without agreeing with the pictorial ideology of Mexican muralism. From 1964, he alternated his Mexican residence with stays in Altea (Alicante). He died in Mexico in 1980. Four years after his death, the Palace of Fine Arts of Mexico dedicated a monographic exhibition to him. In Spain, it was rediscovered following the exhibition of drawings by exiled Spanish artists, gathered by Javier Tusell, as the protagonist of that exodus. From his Mexican period, mostly kept in the collection of his daughter, Isabel Climent and other private collections is the portrait of Juan Gil-Albert (1940) preserved in the Provincial Council of Alicante.

Divide
By Doug Freed
Located in Tulsa, OK
Divide by artist Doug Freed is a deep blue contemporary abstract landscape oil on canvas painting that measures 72 x 96 and is priced at $18,000.
Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the gray area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields.
Artist Statement
For nearly twenty years, I made non-objective grid structured paintings. I started to see references to landscape in these works. I've literalized those references by painting oil landscape vistas of horizons, clouds and bodies of water. These paintings consist of two or more vertical panels. Usually one panel is landscape imagery. The adjacent panels are often atmospheric voids with vestiges of recognizable landscapes.
I try to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. My intent is to create paintings imbued with a meditative, spiritual presence suggesting issues about time and ecology. I do this by softly modulating color, tone and value. The color varies from quiet, monochromatic works to fully orchestrated chromatic ones. By blending from one hue to another I create color which makes its self gradually felt, weeping forth. In this manner, I create illusions of mysterious emanations of light, places where ones eyes and spirit are invited to linger.
I try to imbue my work with a monumental presence, epic in both size and scope. I do this by orchestrating the separate elements of color, texture and structure into a harmonious whole. I seek a somewhat reductive image rich in value and contrast. The surface of the work is devoid of textural incidence. I don’t want anything to
distract from the illusion of depth so I deny any marks which would hold the viewer on the surface of the painting. In my luminescent multi- paneled oil paintings I try to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. The
compositions are about ambiguities of form and void, foreground and background and surface and deep space.
My roots lie in tonalism, color field painting and minimalism. However, my work contains an ever-present awareness of the dramatic use of light of the post-renaissance chiaroscurists. It combines a classical awareness of structure with a romantic use of color always in combination with a unique sense of ambiguity.
My work continues in its evolution of style the search for an abstract means of probing the ambiguities of physical and spiritual experience of light, and its power to foster a more intense life of the spirit through profound emotional experience of form, color and composition.
