About the Item

River of Palms 48.0 x 32.0 x 1.5, 20.0 lbs Acrylic paint Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "This collection of paintings was my reflection on the New Orleans landscape. Each features different views of the region’s subtropical ecology and urban landscape, including the Mississippi River and surrounding swamplands. My design process dissects elements of the surrounding landscape and collages them back together. I layered each feature atop the previous, cropping and obscuring what came before. This emulates the natural and artificial processes of change in landscape over time. The river plays a main character in the historic drama and in these paintings, creating and destroying ecosystems on its path to the gulf and centering our trade economy. It is the most important geographic feature in the region and the lifeblood of the people here. By collaging together these native elements of Southern Louisiana I celebrate the beauty of living with these natural features and consider how our modifications to natural systems, including levees, navigation canals, and drained wetlands will portend for the region’s health in the long run. I was led to this series by my sustained interest in topography and systems – natural systems, man-made systems, and the relationship between the two. In my previous work, I digitally collaged shapes, textures and color of aerial topography from around the world and then layered them one by one reflecting on the process of transformation. In the newer series, I wanted to pull more specifically from the landscape of this region and introduced mixed perspectives that are more psychological than aerial, incorporating plants, topographical, and features that make New Orleans unique." About the Artist: Anne Blenker spent her earliest years in Santa Rosa, California where she was informed by the natural beauty of the Pacific coastline. She studied fine arts painting at Pratt Institute in New York City. After moving to New Orleans in 2013 Anne discovered a fascination with aerial topography. Her work draws on the ever-shifting contemporary landscape for inspiration, seeking to understand the processes and the changes they create. Anne have shown in New Orleans at Parse Gallery and Brand Gallery among others.

In The Tropics, Original Framed Contemporary Abstract Painting, 2022 48" x 24" x 1" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas 50" x 26" x 2" (HxWxD) Framed Hand-signed by the artist This long-format painting by artist Novi Lim features a nature-inspired abstraction that looks like it could be straight out of a fairytale. A gorgeous deep teal color engulfs the canvas, while lighter whites, blues, purples, and peach tones undulate upwards, creating both the illusion of light drifting through the scene, reminiscent of the aurora borealis, and taking shape as leaves or flower petals.

The Palms #2 (Abstract painting)
By Robert Baribeau
Located in London, GB
The Palms #2 (Abstract painting) Charcoal on paper - Unframed. Baribeau constructs his paintings layer upon layer, building color, form and texture into viscous, impasto compositions, on supports that are themselves often thick, and even sculptural. He scratches and scrawls across his surfaces, infusing visceral emotion and energy into the work. His imagery is so layered and dimensional that even his works on paper convey a sense of texture and depth. Critics have connected Baribeau to a range of aesthetic positions, including everything from Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art to the 19th century Hudson River School, and compared him variously to the likes of Robert Rauschenberg, Joan Mitchell, Cy Twombly, and Willem de Kooning. In truth, Baribeau employs a distinctive aesthetic voice that is personal and instantly recognizable, despite its multiplicity. His visual world is one where primordial, organic nature collides with the geometric, manufactured world, and where certain signature visual cues, such as black and white stripes, checkerboards, dots, and flashes of neon color appear and disappear. His work is included in several institutional collections, including those of the Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY; Morgan Stanley...
