The Return of Spring (Modern Abstract Acrylic Painting in Pink, Yellow, & Gold)

2019

Monochromatic and minimalist dark abstract painting on canvas Acrylic on canvas, 24 x 32 inches This contemporary, horizontal painting was made by Manhattan based artist, Betsy Weis in 1999. The abstract painting, composed of a primarily dark palette, contains subtle shades of blue, white, and light beige in rectangular formations behind a sheer veil of black acrylic paint. Minimalist in nature, the work concentrates on an ethereal sense of space and depth. This painting on canvas is currently unframed and is ready to hang as is. For painter Betsy Weis, the wild and beautiful essence of nature has been a prevailing inspiration for her work. This influence is not unfounded considering the artist grew up in the coastal region of the Pacific Ocean and studied the work of Titian, Giorgione, and Friedrich. Her use of acrylic results in an eerie, almost dream-like haze that evokes one’s own connection to nature. Through this veil, the viewer is left to contemplate the mystery of nature and the continuous evolution of the human memory, from the past into the present. Weis has shown with the gallery for more than a decade and resides in New York City. Betsy Weis is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery based in Hudson, NY.
