About the Item
Briggs is s significant Post War artist who can bring substantial prices and interest with his works from the 1950's. His style during this period was "action painting" and expressive and gestural. This watercolor is particularly beautiful as it does have a underlying landscape and nature element embodied in the vibrant but organic color palette. Works like this are meant to be evocative of what the viewer brings out of them through movement and intuitive paint manipulation that stimulates the eye.
This work has lovely rich color for a watercolor and speaks of the best in fine art - not commercial art. Beautifully framed in an expensive and good quality 22 karat leaf frame.
Hard and rare to find good works on paper from this time frame that feel complete and well conceived.

Switch-It #9, 2016
graphite, watercolor, and colored pencil on paper
20 x 15 inches
Energetic and charged with visual power, the Switch-It series is movement and transition visualized. Ruello’s formal investigation of how we move through and disrupt various environments (digital, analog, and in-between) is rendered through these graphic elements. As he notes, “As a result of this disruption, the array is no longer stable or predictable — visual illusions and shifting figure/ground relationships begin to emerge.” Ruello’s work stems from an enjoyment in the tension between the stable and the unpredictable. Though not figural, his work presents elements that are recognizable from our visual vernacular. Digital screens, popular science...
