This pop art inspired abstract still life painting of bright flowers against a solid black background was painted by Hudson Valley artist, Joy Taylor, in 2022. Here, the natural forms are distilled into bold shapes with powerful hues of orchid purple, bright orange, pale blue, yellows and greens. Taylor's colors ooze richness and her shapes are bold yet organic. Trained as a collage artist, she often employs unusual materials, spatial or color relationships to challenge viewers’ assumptions about the world around them.
Joy Taylor’s paintings transform botany into a personal vision. Her recent series on canvas, playfully titled the “Boo-K” paintings, defy traditional still life depictions that often seek to tame and order the objects of the world. On the contrary, Taylor’s subjects are never still. Her floral forms have the crisp, clean qualities of cut paper; sharp, decisive lines slice through blocks of pure pigment to create defined edges of leaves, vines and blossoms. The colors are constructed as well as the form. Her exuberant palette of oranges, blues, magenta and green echo the complimentary colors favored by the Fauvists. Color is an element in and of itself in her work. This balance of sparkling color and form is irrepressible, at times disconcerting and even dangerous in its boldness.
Artist Statement
My work manipulates forms in a flattened picture plane, with imagination, rather than realistic observation, at play. I’ve built many a painting of a make-believe arrangement of flowers in a nonexistent vase on a table that’s just a curved arc, if it’s there at all.
These days I’m zooming into the deep center of my imaginary composition, where I create large shapes in transformation: leaves become flat saucers, stems thin lines that turn into fat shapes, reflections an abyss of receding color. My flowers writhe, contort, sag, and subvert the very space they inhabit. They bridge the gap between reality and abstraction.
I’ve made a few rules for myself to follow:
Scale it Up (so I can go deeper into the composition)
Simplify (for greater clarity)These rules keep me focused on my determination to give agency to the shapes I create.
Still life paintings have always removed Nature from outdoors and rearranged it inside, so we can look at it more closely and ponder its process of change, from bud to flowering to decay. I take the genre in a new direction as I invent shapes and colors, re-creating Nature in my mind and on my canvas. It’s an external expression of an internal dialogue – what does this shape become if it’s foreshortened? How do petals spiral into being? Can I see through what’s on top to what’s beneath? What is a leaf-like shape that isn’t the color of a leaf? Is it something else?

- Meet June (Abstract Expressionist Oil on Canvas in Grey, Pink and Green)By Jenny NelsonLocated in Hudson, NYSquare abstract expressionist oil painting on canvas in stone blue, green, dusty pink, and brown, with hints of orange throughout 'Meet June' painted by Hudson Valley artist, Jenny Nelson, in 2023 Oil on canvas 30 x 30 x 1 inches, with white painted sides Excellent condition, ready to hang Signed, verso This square abstract expressionist oil painting was painted by Woodstock, NY based artist, Jenny Nelson, in 2023. The colorful abstract composition is completed in an expressionist style with loose and gestural brushstrokes in calming tones of green, stone blue, and brown. The contrasting patches of dusty pink, teal, and brighter greens pop against the subtle pale gray background. Color is applied in light layers which is noticeable in the faint yet visible under tones of the painting. The oil painting is unframed, with white painted sides so framing is optional. The artist's signature is located on the back of the painting. To say that Jenny Nelson’s paintings are a celebration of process as much as their final, balanced composition would be an understatement. Each one of Nelson’s compositions is a unique roadmap into how her brain operates. Curious, experimental, persistent, dedicated; hers is a confidence built over years of sustained diligence in the studio. Based in Woodstock, NY, Nelson has developed a unique language of artistic expression. Paintings in this series present improvisational, gestural strokes balanced with structure and open space. “By layering, adding and subtracting, a history develops on the canvas. Shapes have a story to tell. Lines that have been obliterated and resurrected have an emotional charge. What started as a wild party ends up as a contemplative, carefully edited composition, involving precise modifications, while hopefully leaving some life force intact”, says the artist of this process. Artist Statement: My work has always been anchored in drawing. I spent years drawing and painting from life. This instilled a strong sense of space and structure. At some point I became more interested in the negative space surrounding the objects I was observing and modifying the objects themselves. I began to organically develop an abstract language, but the sense of structure and organization remained constant in the painting. I apply paint in layers using palette knives, brushes and oil sticks. I initially draw loose gestures and a variety of spontaneous marks. Often traces of previous layers remain visible, allowing colors to interact in ways I could not have anticipated. This process leaves me feeling quite lost a lot of the time, and I have had to learn to become comfortable with that feeling. This sometimes builds to frustration, and I will scrape off much of what was applied, but the result of doing this is often something wonderful that moves the painting forward. I view the painting process as a collaboration between myself and the materials. A conversation starts that has a beginning and an end, but everything in between is unpredictable. It seems at first some exciting things may show up but it’s important to disregard these first, too beautiful bursts, work over them, and develop something deeper from them. As the painting evolves, shapes and lines solidify, and I begin to see how the parts affect the whole. This way of layering, adding and subtracting, creates a history on the canvas. Shapes have a story to tell. Lines that have been obliterated and resurrected over and over again have an emotional charge. This process that started as a wild party ends up as a contemplative carefully edited composition, involving precise modifications, while hopefully leaving the life force in tact. About the artist: Jenny Nelson attended Maine College of Art in Portland Maine, and is a graduate of Bard College, where she received a scholarship to the Lacoste School of the Arts in France. She has been living in Woodstock, New York for nearly two decades, including a Residency at the Byrdcliffe Art Colony from November 2004-08.

- Birches III: Contemporary Minimalist Painting of Slender BirchesBy Frank FaulknerLocated in Hudson, NYBirches III: Contemporary Minimalist Painting of Slender Birches by Frank Faulkner 60 x 48 inches, acrylic on canvas Vertical orientation The Birch Tree paintings are an elegant and sophisticated body of work painted by Frank Faulkner in 2010-2012. Several birch trucks intertwine; their white bark starkly illuminated against a dramatic, dark ground.against a dark ground. The Birch Tree is the symbol of new beginnings, regeneration, hope, new dawns and the promise of what is to come. The tree carries ancient wisdom and yet appears forever young. Born in Sumter, South Carolina in 1946, Frank Faulkner received his B.F.A. from the University of North Carolina in 1968, Phi Beta Kappa, and his M.F.A. from the same institution in 1972. Faulkner’s work quickly won him numerous grants and awards, including an individual artist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1974. He was selected for the Whitney Biennial in 1975, which prompted him to settle in New York. There, he came to the attention of Dorothy Miller, Curator Emeritus of the Museum of Modern Art with a legendary eye for new talent. Since then, Faulkner has continued to garner acclaim and awards. He has been featured in dozens of one-person exhibitions (not to mention group exhibitions) in this country, as well as in Japan, Switzerland, and Germany. Faulkner’s work is owned by leading museums (the Smith College museum in Northampton, Massachusetts, for example, the National Museum of American Art and the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C.) and by renowned collectors such as Nelson Rockefeller, Baron Leon Lambert, Phillip Hanes and Abba Eban...Category

- Castilleja cruenta standlBy Penelope GottliebLocated in Palm Desert, CAA painting by Penelope Gottlieb. "Castilleja cruenta standl" is a contemporary painting, ink, acrylic and oil on canvas panel in a variety of bright, bold colors by American artist Penelope Gottlieb. After receiving her BFA from the Art Center College for Design in Pasadena, Penelope Gottlieb went on to earn her MFA from the University of California in Santa Barbara where she currently lives and works. Gottlieb’s artistic repertoire is thoroughly modern and includes innovative paintings as well as compelling media design, for which she received an Emmy in the field of motion picture title design in 1993. Gottlieb’s more recent works showcase a unique synthesis of her modern graphic design background and the vintage botanical renderings of natural scientists. However, her paintings are also unique in their perspective on the traditional floral still life. Stylized flora and fauna are depicted as emanating from a comic book explosion, illustrating what the artist refers to as “the dire state of the planet” as faced with species extinction and the resulting biological and ecological ramifications. These violent representations of the artistically typified placid natural world are intended as “visual eulogies for lost plant life.” The particular specimens that Gottlieb depicts are in fact extinct and she is able to recreate them only from historical drawings and botanist’s descriptions. Although avant-garde and aesthetically unique, Gottlieb’s paintings delineate clear influences from the renowned artists of Pop and Expressionist art. The composition of many of her paintings is reminiscent of Kandinsky’s canvas-filling outpours while her bold color palette and black outlines recall Lichtenstein’s comic book panels. Her work is also closely related to a more contemporary group of artists, including Alexis Rockman...Category
