About the Item
Abstract painting in tones of deep blue, violet, forest green, and beige
acrylic on canvas
36 x 36 x 1.5 inches
white painted wood stripping covers all sides
This contemporary painting from Hudson Valley artist is a wonderful example of the artist's discerning choice of color composition. Richly pigmented earth tones of maroon, dusty violet, pale teal, brown and blues are magnificently layered with bright pops of citron and pale pinks. Gestural brush strokes and medium - light application of medium
Mr. O'Shea's a true master of mediums, this artist works in oil, gouache, fresco secco, acrylic and collage.
Notes about the art:
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. O’Shea allows loose brush strokes to mimic the bare bones structure of the landscape, finding perhaps his greatest pleasure in supplying the color. Palettes shift from a deep, blue-ish grey in the late winter to a bright, candied pastel in the early summer. O’Shea suggests the most delightful and unexpected color schemes; intense hues of blue are interwoven with bouts of rich maroon, a pairing that urges preparation for the cooler months.
