About the Item

Caroline Besse creates unique vibrant paintings on paper using crushed minerals that she carefully sources as pigments. She mixes Chinese ink with crushed minerals that she carefully applies onto Japanese washi paper to create unique luminescent and vibrant colorful composition. As the light reflects onto the paper, the individual colors and dimensions of the minerals come to life. Her paintings are then mounted on panels to create individual artworks or are applied directly on walls or wood panels to create unique accent in luxury homes. Besse has invented a new language, mixing Western and Eastern techniques that she has learned over the years. Her perception of colors is influenced by Goethe and Steiner’s theories while her artistic practice is rooted into the Chan tradition which puts the body at the center of the inner and the outside worlds. The conscious, the subconscious, the body, and the soul: all these elements speak to one another in Caroline Besse’s paintings, resulting in a final product which is both visceral and holistic. Since the beginning of her career, Caroline Besse has developed an eco-responsible approach and a deep concern for the raw materials she uses.
 The choice of natural materials - colors, binders, glues and papers - are consubstantial to her artistic approach. Her portfolio boasts high-end projects for Van Cleef & Arpels in Paris, Maison Cartier in Miami, Rimowa in Hong Kong, the French embassy in Bangui, Central African Republic, as well as interior designers and private clients. For each site specific commissions she creates personalized and individual proposals, bathing the space into the poetry of unique custom made colors of crushed minerals. In 2022, she is awarded the prestigious Grand Prix de la Création de la Ville de Paris, awarded annually to an artist based on the quality of their work. She is now represented by the Muriel Guépin Gallery in New York City.

Crusade - red warm toned grey color stripe abstract contemporary oil painting
Located in New York, NY
In this abstract oil painting, Dintino brings about images of bloody battles, or crusades. The red is angry and at some points dark, though he juxtaposes that with a bright and influential light. This light is quite god-like, which makes sense when put in the context of the Crusades. The blurred colors in this piece almost read as 'nostalgic' or historical, that the image of the past is so old that it has blurred with age. Dintino's work has to do with the melding of title and piece. His paintings all illustrate his ideas and words through visuality and color. Creating large panoramic pieces makes his work atmospheric and immersive, allowing the viewer to literally feel the title of his painting. This is quite a synesthetic approach to making art and allows ideas and words to sing. Born in San Francisco, California in 1964, Patrick Dintino grew up in Sunnyvale, in the south bay area. He went to college in San Diego earning a BA degree in Industrial Arts from San Diego State University, and co-founded Artists in Motion art...
