About the Item

ABBY GOLDSTEIN Untitled, 2012 8.0 x 11.3 inches; framed in white frame 13 x 16.1 inches watercolor and pencil on paper pencil signed recto American artist, Abby Goldstein has been fascinated by the graphic quality of city maps and focuses on their 'inherent reliance to describe, where we are, where we are going and where we have been'. This work on paper serves as a great example of the artist's inclinations towards gentrification and the detailed intricacies, as well as the geometric organization of an expanding world. Abby Goldstein received a BFA from Pratt Institute, NY and a MFA from the School of Visual Arts, NY. She is an Associate Professor of Art and heads the Graphic Design concentration at Fordham University, NY. Artist statement: The visual language and design of maps fascinate me. The minutiae and reduction of complex information into lines and shapes found in mapmaking makes up the vocabulary of my recent work. In these drawings I focus on creating fragmented maps with microscopic enlargements of cities and centers. The detail within the circles suggests that more lies beyond the imaginary borders. The grid acts as a device to establish a structure that I can move within and against; and abstract forms organically grow out of the accumulation of details; building a web of texture and movement.

  • Specifically Nowhere, Yellow (Abstract Geometric Painting with Grids on Yellow)
    By Donise English
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Large abstract geometric painting with intricate line work in pencil and gouache on a bright yellow background "Specifically, Nowhere (Yellow)" made by Hudson Valley artist, Donise English, in 2022 gouache, acrylic, pencil, and colored pencil on paper, mounted on panel 48 x 48 inches unframed, 50 x 50 inches with a dark brown stained wood floater frame Surface is protected with four coats of an archival UV protective varnish Signed, verso Excellent condition and ready to hang This large abstract geometric painting was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Donise English, in 2022. The composition begins with a bright yellow background overlaid with intricate line work in graphite and colored pencil. Thousands of hand drawn lines serve as a backdrop for a bold geometric form in a dusty violet and dark gray gridded pattern that references "an imagined city grid", says the artist. The painting on paper is mounted to wood panel and complemented with a dark stained wood floater frame. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. The surface is protected with four coats of an archival UV protective varnish. More about the work: Donise English emphasizes lines, grids, and fields of subtle color to evoke imagined places and invented structures. While precise lines and straight angles are often associated with themes in architecture and urban planning designs, English conveys a geometric motif guided by intuition rather than a ruler. Variations on grids retain flaws and unmistakable traces of the artists’ hand; her style of draftsmanship shies away from intellectualism and instead makes her compositions feel very personal. Each design is intensely intricate, incorporating gouache, acrylic, pen, graphite, ink and colored pencil. Artist Statement: My work is about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
