Christine Averill-Green
"Sea Glass/Ocean Mist, " Abstract Painting

2020

About the Item

This abstract painting is what the artist refers to as, "a contemplation of the power and peace of the ocean." Colors of purple, sandy beige, sky blue and complementary orange are added in layers and later scraped back, in a process much like the rise and fall of a tide. The end result is a soft, serene painting with hits of shiny metallic highlights, and clear glass that looks like a calm ocean against the sky. This painting has clean sides and is wired and ready to hang. Averill-Green has been exhibiting her artwork in galleries and museums in Upstate New York for over 40 years. She received her B.A. in Art and an M.S. in Art Education. Artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Euan Eglow, Antonio Lopez Garcia, and her teachers Catherine Kehoe and Stanley Bielen have influenced Christine's artwork. "Most of my work is influenced by medieval frescoes (the gold and color combinations) and Asian art (the simplicity)," Christine says of her work. "Above all, in every single painting I do, I abide by the words of Claude Monet: "When you go out to paint, try to forget what objects you have before you, merely think here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow and paint it just as it looks to you."

  • "Blue Mojito, " Contemporary Abstract Painting
    By Teodora Guererra
    Located in Westport, CT
    This contemporary abstract painting by Teodora Guererra features a bright blue palette. The artist applies thick layers of oil paint in sweeping strokes for a highly textured painting that moves from a deep shade of blue at the bottom of the composition and becomes lighter as the paint is applied at the top. The painting is signed by the artist on the back of the gallery wrapped canvas, and it is wired and ready to hang. Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques. Her focus has always been pushing the limits through experimentation with new materials. “As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," the artist says of her work. "I'm a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and saturate color on large canvases. My most successful work looks as if it happened all at once. It sometimes takes 7 or more paintings to produce a successful one and then it's a beautiful thing." Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY, William & Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg...
