Libby Ramage
Gambling on Love, Original Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Exploring a narrative on the hazards and uncertainties of love, the artwork conveys the idea that letting oneself fall into affection is a gamble. The wood bark in the foreground resembles a hand, signaling a warning to stop. A bird in the upper left corner takes flight in fear, while a devil observes and anticipates the choices of the reclining figure. Artist Libby Ramage uses charcoal and pastels on handmade paper, incorporating a collage of wood, a potato bag, and fabric.


About the Artist
Libby Ramage infuses a playful and whimsical mood into her works. In fact, she credits the children she works with for greatly influencing her aesthetic. She often uses children’s abandoned work in her collages. Libby currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Rauschenberg. She believes collectors should buy from the heart.
