2020

About the Item

"Ongoing" is an original acrylic painting on canvas by Alayna Rose, signed by the artist in the lower left. Influenced by Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler, Rose's works feature an abstract and gestural use of color that seems to follow the movement of the artist in media res. There is a great chromatic depth to Rose's works; while the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows dominate much of the canvas, beneath one can see pinks, greens, and even some dark grays adding a richness to Rose's already brilliant palette. The title of the composition is also something of a pun: the composition could be 'ongoing' in the sense that the artist could still be adding new elements to the composition, or 'on going' could also be interpreted as commenting on the phenomenon of leaving. Acrylic on canvas 24 x 36 inches Signed "Alayna" in lower left Alayna Rose is a painter, jewelry designer and former illustrator. Her paintings are abstract, painterly, and in vibrant color. They teeter between figuration and pure non-representation, following in the legacy of the Abstract Expressionists of the mid-twentieth century. Indeed, she studied with Kenn Kwint, a nationally recognized Wisconsin painter, as well as Gary Rosine, former department chair of Cardinal Stritch University’s Visual Studies Program. She was also mentored by one of Wisconsin’s most celebrated sculptors - Mary Nohl. Her paintings and watercolors have been shown at several Midwestern institutions and she is represented by the David Barnett Gallery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her fashion jewelry has been featured in exclusive boutiques from Hawaii to the East Coast. In 1987 she was featured as an outstanding new designer in Accessories Magazine. Her copper enameled designs have been exhibited in shows in New York City, Chicago and other major venues in the United States. Between 1990-2007 she was Vice President of a design company that specialized in illustrations for patent applications, trademarks and technical art.

'Dreaming while Sunbathing at the Beach' original signed acrylic painting
By Ariel McClearin
Located in Milwaukee, WI
Part of the artist’s ‘The Chaos of My Mind’ series, Ariel McClearin’s ‘Dreaming while Sunbathing at the Beach’ is an original signed acrylic painting on canvas board. The painting’s rich palette coupled with the contrasting dynamism of hard and soft geometric shapes evokes the dreamlike state of sunbathing referenced in the title. A series of striped angles recalls the patterned designs of beach towels, while a flock of v-shaped birds takes flight in the outline of a human in the lower right corner, possibly the prone figure of the sunbather themselves. acrylic painting on canvas board 14 x 11 inches Signed and dated in ink on reverse Framed in a modern profile silver-finish float moulding ARTIST STATEMENT: I was born in Rock Falls, Illinois where I lived until I was fourteen. I began living in Germany in high school and, during that time, was able to travel across Europe: Italy, France, England, Belgium, The Netherlands, Mallorca, and Switzerland. I am at my heart a performance artist and spent my adolescence participating in musicals ranging from “Into the Woods” to “Guys and Dolls.” Since leaving the performing arts after high school to pursue my business degree, I have been exploring with fashion design and have aspirations to start my own fashion line. Designers like Kate Spade and Minju Kim have inspired both my fashion – and my paintings – with their unique sense of patterns and color composition. I maintain a love of dance and spend time at the ballet watching shows such as “Swan Lake” and “Giselle.” I started painting as a creative outlet during quarantine this year. I wanted to capture a range of emotions that I was unable to express in other creative outlets. I like abstraction and pattern for its ability to reflect emotion as well as for how it allows for open-ended interpretations. I draw inspiration from artists like Kindah Khalidy...
