Gina Werfel
Tumble (Abstract Expressionism painting)

2017

About the Item

Tumble (Abstract Expressionism painting) Oil on canvas - Unframed This painting is from a series of large paintings based upon dolls that Werfel had found in the house where she grew up. She liked their Rubenesque fleshy figures and used them to begin to recreate the intersections of figures in old master figure paintings such as Tintoretto, Titian and Pozzo. At a certain point in the process, Werfel turned the painting so as to abstract the figures and create an all over rhythm. The identity of figures gets subsumed by the energy of the paint marks. Gina Werfel is an American abstract painter whose work uses vivid color, lyrical gesture, and complex compositional structures to explore harmonies within visual space. Raised on Long Island, she currently lives and works near Sacramento, California, where she is a Professor of Art at the University of California, Davis.

  • Volley (Abstract Painting)
    By Anya Spielman
    Located in London, GB
    Volley (Abstract Painting) Oil on canvas - Unframed Spielman uses oil paint on canvas, paper and panel in various sizes; she works on up to forty paintings at a time, moving between them as each begins to form, then isolating a work to bring to completion. Her saturated surfaces are luminous, with alternate glossy and matte layers, but also bear rough nail marks that scar and deconstruct the work. These etched lines and marks relate to an image and idea, and are often the underlying structure, the submerged language of a work. Her use of reds and pinks link to flesh and blood...
