Embracing Uncomfortable

About the Item

Embracing Uncomfortable by artist Brenda Zappitell is a pink and cream contemporary abstract made of flashe and Acrylic with cold wax on panel 60 x 60 and is priced at $16,000. Brenda Zappitell creates abstract expressionist works not only born out of intuition, but also serendipitously influenced by nature and her life experiences. Her mark-making, though serendipitous, reflects these influences. “My paintings emerge from the emotion I feel in the moment my brush touches a blank surface. I am a very physical and spontaneous painter. Moving back and forth with decisive brush strokes and dynamic gestures, I work rapidly to capture that ephemeral feeling in tangible form.” Born in 1964 in South Florida. Zappitell lives in Delray Beach, FL with her family. She creates abstract expressionist works not only born out of intuition but also serendipitously influenced by nature and life experiences. Although mostly self taught, she has attended classes and workshops in New Mexico, Mexico and Florida. Her work is in both private and public collections, including MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, The St. Regis Hotel in New York City, The Hardrock Hotel in Tampa, FL, The University Of North Texas Business Leadership Building and a private collector whose collection includes Joan Mitchell, Cleve Gray, Milton Resnick, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hoffman, Larry Poons, Jules Olitski, etc. Artist Statement My paintings emerge from the emotion I feel in the moment my brush touches a blank surface. I am a very physical and spontaneous painter. Moving back and forth with decisive brush strokes and dynamic gestures, I work rapidly to capture that ephemeral feeling in tangible form. I begin without expectations and work on a subconscious level that disregards logic. Guided by a primal inner voice, I surrender control to the paint, the brush and a visceral process of creative discovery. I apply many layers to my paintings leaving evidence of early marks as a sense of my progression. I observe everything in my life in great detail and am heavily influenced by nature, in particular the sky. My mark-making, though serendipitous, reflects these influences. I want the viewer to believe that my vision expands beyond the work itself to a universe I have created. Painting in the genre of Abstract Expressionism, I feel a strong affinity for artists such as Joan Mitchell and Willem De Kooning, whose work also emphasizes action and emotion over ideas. Like these artists, I strive to capture the fleeting, spontaneous quality of " EDUCATION BSW 1986 Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL JD 1990 University of Miami School of Law, Coral Gables, FL ART EDUCATION 2008 Painting Workshop, Taos, NM 2006-2009 Santa Fe Community College, Santa Fe, NM 1991-2002 The Boca Raton Museum of Art School, Boca Raton, FL 1991 Life Drawing and Painting Workshop, San Miguel De Allende, Mexico SOLO & TWO PERSON EXHIBITIONS 2013 Fresh Paint Art Gallery, Juxataposed Gestures, Lisa Bartelson and Brenda Zappitell, Cullver City, CA 2013 Gallery Orange, New Orleans, LA 2013 Exhibit By Aberson, Brandon Reese and Brenda Hope Zappitell, Tulsa, Ok 2012 Darnell Fine Art, Brenda Hope Zappitell, A Chronicle of Gratitude, Santa Fe, NM 2011-12 Rosenbaum Contemporary, Brenda Hope Zappitell: An Exhibition of Paintings, Boca Raton, FL 2011 Darnell Fine Art, Brenda Hope Zappitell & Rudy Gonzales, Santa Fe, NM 2010 Darnell Fine Art, Fragments, Claire McArdle & Brenda Hope Zappitell, Santa Fe, NM SELECTED GROUP EXHIBITIONS 2014 Littlejohn Contemporary, Group Show, New York, NY 2014 Art Pam Beach 2014, represented by Rosenbaum Contemporary, West Palm Beach, FL 2013 Turner Carroll Gallery, Idle Hands, Santa Fe, NM 2012 Page Bond Gallery, HAZE: A Summer Group Exhibition, Richmond, VA 2012 Exhibit by Aberson's, White, group exhibition, Tulsa, OK 2012 Art Palm Beach represented by Rosenbaum Contemporary 2011 Los Angeles Art Show, represented by Rosenbaum Contemporary, West Palm Beach, FL. 2010 Rosenbaum Contemporary, Season Preview, Boca Raton, FL 2009 Artprize, Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital, Grand Rapids, MI 2009 Center For Contemporary Arts, 8th Annual Collect: Inside 8, Santa Fe, NM 2009 The Taos Gallery , International Group Juried Exhibition, Taos, NM 2009 The San Diego Art Institute, The Museum of The Living Artist, 50th International Award Exhibition, San Diego, CA, Juror: Julia Marciari Alexander 2008 Center for Contemporary Arts, 7th Annual Collect: Inside 8, Santa Fe, N 2002 Cornell Museum, Inspirations 2002, Delray Beach, FL 2002 The Boca Raton Museum of Art, 16th Annual Art Festival, Boca Raton, FL 2001 The Boca Raton Museum of Art, 15th Annual Art Festival, Boca Raton, FL 2000 The Boca Raton Museum of Art, Artist Guild Biennial Exhibition, Boca Raton, FL 1999 The Boca Raton Museum of Art, Images, Artist Guild Gallery Exhibition, Boca Raton, FL AWARDS, HONORS & PUBLICATIONS 2013 Professional Artist Magazine, A Sense Of Place, Five Abstract Artists Reveal How Environment Influence Their Work, written by Brenda Hope ZappitellApril/May Issue. 2012 Professional Artist Magazine, Balancing a Family Life and A Creative Life, written by Brenda Hope Zappitell, Dec/Jan 2013 Issue 2012 Professional Artist Magazine, Inside The Artist’s Studio: Six Professionals Share Their Studio Spaces, Part 1 & 2 with Alex Couwenberg, Alyssa Monks, Robert Kingston, Johnnie Winona Ross, & Laura Schiff Bean written by Brenda Hope Zappitell, Sept. & Oct.
