About the Item
Modern, abstract wood construction painting in mint green, teal, navy and sienna.
Encaustic on wood panel
12 x 12 inches
James O'Shea has been praised for years for his work as a colorist, producing layer upon layer of transparent color to create compositions that are architectural with organic gestural, strokes. This square work has a stunning palette in many shades of mint and yellow ochre, with accents of taupe, clay, and canary yellow. The work is constructed of several pieces of wood panel, giving it a slightly uneven, handmade quality.
Carrie Haddad has been exhibiting Mr. O'Shea's work in the gallery for more than 15 years. A true master of mediums, this artist works in oil, gouache, fresco secco, acrylic and collage.
About the artist:
O'Shea's compositions of layered colors and shapes, seeming architectural and yet organic, are inspired by experiences near his studio on the Hudson River. The artist's interest in the energy surrounding nature's changing of seasons is clear as each color and shape come to represent a particular time of day or year. O’Shea finds revelation in observing the world while it’s deep in hibernation during the winter months. With foliage shed from the trees, therein lies nature’s defining qualities – branches that are finely etched against blue and gray winter skies, animals that are exposed to the elements, their tracks in the snow leaving proof of scurried movements. These characteristics of the land can only truly be known when it is cold and summer’s distractions are put to rest.
James O'Shea was born in 1952 in Buffalo, New York. He lived in London from 1970 to 1975 where he attended the City and Guilds of London Art School studying with Eric Morby. He also attended Goldsmith's College and the University of London, where he majored in printmaking. Moving to New York in 1975, he spent 10 years life drawing and investigating color. He experiments in most media, and is now primarily interested in oils and encaustic paints. In 2004, he exhibited his work at the Charter Oak Cultural Center in Hartford, Connecticut, in a one man show. In 2006 he exhibited at Paesaggio Fine Arts’ 100 Pearl Street Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut. O’Shea has also shown at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY, and the Guildhall in London. His work is included in many private collections. Mr. O’Shea divides his time between New York City and the Hudson River Valley.
