Dina Brodsky
Raven 1, realist gouache on paper miniature bird portrait, 2023

About the Item

We are thrilled to present one of our first works on paper of 2023 by Dina Brodsky - the striking Raven, in her signature tondo format. Like most of her miniature works, the charm expands upon a closer look and the colors and details reveal themselves. The artist explains: “I don’t like painting on white paper, and the tone helps break it in. The warm underpainting helps keep the blacks and greys of the raven from becoming dull and muddy. Because of the complementary colors, a mixture of black-and-white gouache ends up looking blue on top of the red (and when I mix in a bit of actual blue it looks really vibrant. There are only 4 colors in this painting - carmine (red), ultramarine blue, ivory black and titanium white."

The Remains, A series of 10 works An insect approaches a crumpled paper doily to eat what remains of a party. This series explores the moment when the trimmings become debris and presumptions of human control are upended. The text-like marks on white vertical rectangles are deliberate, but indecipherable. They appear as if a poem, written in an ancient language, that honors this eternal cycle of destruction and regeneration. Winifred McNeill...
