Charles David Francis
Cosmos and Tree Original Abstracted Composition

late 20th Century

About the Item

The Cosmos and Tree - Original Abstracted Composition by Dave Francis Unique and thought-provoking abstracted composition with cosmos and oak tree by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). Blended fluorescent colors in a tilted pane evoke the vividness of James Webb Telescope images of the galaxy. The bleeding out of the colors around the pane add movement creating the feeling that the cosmos is balancing en pointe. Counterbalanced by a stenciled large oak tree symbolizing the microcosmic life on earth, this painting invites the viewer to ponder and think about what they see. Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work. New acid-free mat Image size: 23.50"H x 16.65"W Paper size: 23.75"H x 16.68"W Mat size: 30"H x 24"W Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution."

Doledrum ( Industrial Environmental Pollution
Located in Miami, FL
Out of many come one. A huge back mountain is formed out of scores of gas spewing smokestacks. The foreboding back mass fills most of the pictorial area. As one gets closer to the canvas, the complexity of the mass if revealed in low on contrast as we see the diverse variety of the stacks with accompanying petrochemical architecture. Above the stacks, plums of air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides rise gracefully into the atmosphere. The artist focuses less on the by-product of the stacks and more on his giant pollution machine that he has so astutely rendered. The work is mostly monochromatic but the artist has indicted a red tonality of a sunset/sunrise that offsets the charcoal blacks and grays. ______________________________________________ Submitted by Tamarind Institute Ian Davis...
