"Small Abstract #138" Expressionist Oil in White, Blue, Green, Yellow Ochre

2020

About the Item

"Small Abstract #138," Oil on Canvas, 8 x 8 Inches, is a brilliantly colored, gorgeous and lush abstraction, very expressionist and fluid in style in shades white, blue, green and yellow ochre.Holt has an exquisite sense of color and a masterful touch, these works shimmer and sparkle. There are numerous related works from this series in this 8 x 8 inch size, so groupings are also a possibility for installations. The artist also considers them as studies for larger paintings that can be commissioned in any size and is presently at work on a series of 30" x 30" and 36" x 36" canvases inspired by some of these smaller paintings. The paint surface is heavy impasto. Linda Holt was raised in Philadelphia and lived in England, Alabama and Virginia before attending the Paris American High School and graduating from Skidmore College with a BS in fine art in 1970. She received an MFA in Painting from the University of Pennsylvania where she studied with Neil Welliver. Holt’s paintings have been seen in 19 one-person exhibitions, over 50 group exhibitions, and in addition to numerous private collections, Holt’s paintings are included in many public collections including the Wichita Center for the Arts, Wellington Management, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Fidelity Investments, Mass General Hospital, and the Seaport and Reef Hotels. Selected reviews include articles in “The Boston Globe,” “Art New England,” and the “Houston Chronicle.” Holt was awarded the Nathaniel Saltonstall Purchase Prize in Drawing, has been a Trustee and Visiting Artist at Montserrat College, a Guest Critic at FIT in New York, and a Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. The artist resides in Boston and has been represented by the Beth Urdang Gallery since 1995.

  • Woman, 1986 - oil paint, 142x114 cm., framed
    By Damiano Bernard
    Located in Nice, FR
    Oil on canvas, signed back Bernard Damiano ne découvre sa ville natale, Coni, qu'en 1935, après neuf années d'émigration familiale avec son père Pietro (1895-1964), sa mère Rosa (née en 1897) et sa sœur Angela2, en Alsace, puis à Vallauris. En 1940, en même temps qu'il fait l'apprentissage du métier de taillage de la pierre dans l'atelier Revello à Coni, Bernard Damiano se lie, par des affinités artistiques et littéraires, d'une amitié durable avec le futur poète et linguiste Sergio Arneodo : plus tard, ils s'attacheront communément à la valorisation culturelle et spirituelle d'un village du Val Grana, Sancto-Lucio de Coumboscuro3. Trouvant un emploi de tailleur de pierre et de marbre à Tende (Alpes-Maritimes) en 1948 (c'est là qu'il rencontre son épouse Giselle2), puis d'ébéniste à Nice en 1951, il vit successivement à Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Vallauris, puis de nouveau Nice où, dans un atelier situé dans un sous-sol de la rue Benoit Bunico4 dans le Vieux-Nice, il peint tout en étudiant les peintres de la Renaissance et les impressionnistes. Lors de sa première exposition personnelle (Nice 1958, suivie rapidement de participations à des salons), Bernard Damiano reçoit les encouragements du peintre niçois Sylvain Vigny (1904-1970) avec qui il restera en relations. Sa vie à Nice est interrompue par deux années à Paris (Bernard réside alors rue Saint-Vincent, au cœur de la vie montmartroise), coïncidant avec sa première exposition personnelle dans la capitale, de 1966 et 1968. Il obtient la nationalité française en octobre 1974 et se partage dès lors entre Nice et San Remo2. C'est précisément au cours de la décennie 1970 que la peinture de Bernard Damiano est dite s'éloignant d'une parenté avec Jean Dubuffet, l'Art brut ou le mouvement Cobra pour, dans « une touche nerveuse et une pâte triturée »5, puiser son style dans la suite de l'expressionnisme6. Cette proposition est toutefois énoncée avec réserve : à l'instar de l'espagnol Eduardo Pisano, Bernard n'a jamais daté ses œuvres, reprenant et retouchant même souvent un même tableau pendant plusieurs années. C'est peut-être dans l'usage du « trait-couleur et du flamboiement des chairs...
