About the Item
This small portrait of gallerist David Barnett is an intimate example of the watercolors of Estherly Allen. She was a student of George McNeil, an important Abstract Expressionist, and his influence is visible in Allen's handing of the watercolor medium. In the image, the gestural swaths of color add a sense of spontaneity to the portrait, capturing the saturation of light during the height of the summer day.

Artist's Statement: Walking outside my door bordering the Prescott National Forest I gather objects in the landscape and on the path of everyday life. It is impossible not to find a treasure. This is the impetus and fuel I use to build my mixed media sculptures and collages. With the addition of wire, adhesives, paper, and more, new forms emerge in a spirited improvisational dance. A no-thought logic brings direction into focus. Propelled by this intuitive freedom the unconscious reveals endless curious beautiful worlds of figures, faces, and places. The real becomes abstracted, the unconscious evokes the surreal. Ease and connection from the inside out reinforce the foundation of my oneness with nature and my creative process.
Allen is from Wisconsin and currently lives in Arizona with her sculptor husband, Gene Galazan.
