About the Item
Andresen’s work focuses on the art of repair; more specifically how such actions have consequences both intended and unintended. Using a variety of materially driven processes the work hovers between two-dimensional abstraction and physical representation, each piece goes through separate phases of construction, destruction and reparation. This theme became central to his work when he was involved in a serious accident over a decade ago and had to put his body through the same stages that his work went through, in the hope that what comes from the process is stronger than what came before.
The newest body of work is inspired by various textile mending techniques throughout the world. These repairs commonly happen because of the utilitarian value or the emotional connection the wearer has to the object. For this body of work Andresen focused on veils of silk scrim, some of the lightest fabric found, and a material where the inherent fragility can be seen in each thread. Culturally veils are often found at important transitional phases in a person’s life, and in these works are composed on the canvas as if caught in the wind, a single frozen frame of something already set-in motion. Once damaged the wounds are then mended with delicate stitching drawing attention to the history of the object rather than trying to erase it, and the scars now function as a badge of honor rather than a marker of trauma.
Scott Andresen lives and works in New Orleans, Louisiana. He received his MFA from Yale University and BA from Hunter College. He has had over 50 solo and group exhibitions around the country including Lehmann Maupin Gallery, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and The Bronx Museum. He has attended residencies at Black Rock Senegal, Socrates Sculpture Park, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation while also receiving fellowships from New York Foundation for the Arts and the Pollock Krasner Foundation. Andresen’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the New Orleans Museum of Art and Museum of Arts & Design in NYC. Scott is an Associate Professor at the LSU School of Art.

Fils I Colors DCXIII - Contemporary Colorful Abstract Mixed Media Painting
By Raul de la Torre
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Barcelona native artist Raul de la Torre's vibrant abstract mixed media artworks pay homage to textiles. De La Torre allows the materials to take over during the process and collaborates with the unexpected to create works that speak to the natures of dynamism and unity. Experimentation with different materials, textures and techniques in each of his paintings has been a point of discovery and a major part of Raul de la Torre’s work. In his Fils I Colors series he attempts to find the third dimension through the use of different materials.
This colorful 30-inch high by 24-inch wide original artwork on canvas is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this artwork are painted white and it does not require framing. It is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right corner. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
The interaction between the artist, gravity, and the paint is important for the final result. A tilting technique permits the paint to be a major architect of the final result, giving it a life of its own. It results in infinite and timeless color combinations. In many cases, the different layers of color each represent a temporary state of mind, time, and even feelings, places and people. Some of them are embroidered forever in our memory turning to form part of our DNA. To represent the firmness and strength of that past the cotton is mixed with the paint in the works to form a unity.
Embroidery provides another layer as it creates thick shadows with organic shapes. De la Torre makes horizontal cuts on the canvas and covers these open areas using color matching cotton thread. When combined with light, these shapes create a more dynamic surface and offer different views of the work to various observers.
Raul de la Torre was born in Barcelona in 1964 and attended Massana Art School. About the Fils series, de la Torre remarks: “FILS I COLORS is an attempt to find life, movement and parts that are not static, that change in their interaction with the observer. The different combinations of colors represent different emotions and interpretations for each individual interacting with the works.”
Raul de la Torre's artworks can be found in the collections of The Four Seasons Abu Dhabi, the Tropicana Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, the Rothschild Family Collection, and varying Hilton properties. His works have been exhibited and collected worldwide.
Artspace Warehouse has been representing and exhibiting Raul de la Torre's original artworks since 2010. The gallery has been a 1stdibs partner since 2014 with consistently excellent reviews from clients worldwide. The gallery exhibits a large selection of affordable original artworks from established and emerging international artists with diverse backgrounds at high standards.
