"Everyone Has Gone, " an Abstract Oil on Canvas signed by Deidre Schanen

2004

About the Item

"Everyone Has Gone" is an abstract oil painting on canvas by Deirdre Schanen. Working in the color-field tradition established by such artists as Helen Frankenthaler and Mark Rothko, Schanen layers blues, greens, and purples to depict the gamut of emotions that characterize a departure. oil on canvas 58" x 68" canvas "My paintings reflect my childhood on the shores of Lake Michigan," writes Schanen. "They explore the tension of the lake’s serene vastness with the complex confusion of the rocks and detritus washed up upon its shores. My art reflects my world filtered through my heart. I do not plan my art but, rather, develop it as I work. Something in me knows where I’m going. Painting for me is a state of being. I paint what I am. I begin with pencil or ink markings and paint drips. I continue to add layer after layer of glaze, paint and markings. The underpainting is as important to me as the final layer of paint. I perform a dance with my canvas through these spontaneous interactions. I never know where it will lead me or when my dance will be finished."

  • Anne Russinof, Amaryllis, 2016, Oil on canvas, Color Field, Abstraction
    By Anne Russinof
    Located in Darien, CT
    Russinof uses large brushes to create highly energized gestures that intimate various patterns and forms in architecture such as frames, cornices and baroque ceiling vaults. The paint-ings are process-based in the sense that one is aware of drips and the accretion of layers, and also flirt with their role as objects by virtue of the gesture’s relation to the painting edge. Color serves to create a window onto natural space and light, even as the forms themselves acknowledge their own framing. She often thinks in these works of Renaissance portraits where the sitter’s forearm rests on the very edge of the frame, inviting intimacy, with a tiny landscape...
