"MAINE, LIVING THE DREAM"
Flag of Maine
Oil on Linen
24 x 48 Inches (Plus Artist's Wood Frame)
Charlotte Gibbs’ "flag," "stars," and "text" paintings often reference the artist's interest in Pop art and sometimes incorporate 23 karat gold leaf in addition to oil paint, but not always. With its depiction of the bold slogan "MAINE LIVING THE DREAM" in white letters on a bright blue textured ground, "Flag of Maine" is at once lovely and memorable, particularly speaking to those fans of one of New England's most delightful states. Beautifully painted and exquisitely executed, these elegant works of rich color are sophisticated examples of Gibbs' ability to invoke whimsy while demanding serious attention, and the artist's simple white wood frames are the perfect complement .
Gibbs is often commissioned to paint variations on her 'flags' and 'stars' to customize scale, orientation, palette, and/or symbols of particular significance to the client.
Cate McQuaid, “The Boston Globe,” January 12, 2013:
“Gold brightens up the darkest days of the year at Beth Urdang Gallery, and Charlotte Andry Gibbs makes liberal use of it in her paintings. Gibbs focuses on iconography, using gold leaf and paint to re-create flags, corporate logos, and legendary works of art. While crafting a gold American flag, or a Coca-Cola or Chevrolet logo in gold feels like a too obvious jab at capitalism, all the works together draw intriguing formal connections.”
Charlotte Andry Gibbs attended Newcomb College and received a BFA in Painting from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston in 1971. She has had numerous one-person exhibitions at the Beth Urdang Gallery and has been included in over 25 group shows, primarily in the New England area where the artist resides. Most recently Gibbs had the distinct honor of being awarded First Prize in the Roddy Compeition held at the Concord Center for Visual Arts, where she was singled out among the 540 submissions by 340 artists by Katherine French, the Director.
Charlotte Gibbs’ Pop inspired text paintings are works which perfectly incorporate words and execution, graphically striking just the right notes of whimsy and commentary. Additional series of 'flags.' stars, such iconic cultural symbols as the Coca-Cola logo, and the stark geometric forms often identified with the Bauhaus and Minimalism startle our expectations of such classic imagery with their incongruous execution in the very formal medium she often opts for of 23-karat gold leaf and oil. Consistently to be found in Gibbs’ works is the artist’s keen knowledge of the history of art, her love of referencing it, and a subtle sense of humor all meticulously and crisply executed with rich color and simple white wood frames made by Gibbs that beautifully complement these paintings.
The 'flag' series (which can be read as depictions of flags and in some instances pure geometric abstractions) also includes oils that do not incorporate 23 karat gold leaf.
