James O'Shea
One (Square Abstract Gouache Painting on Wood Panel in Peach, Beige & Rose)

2013

About the Item

Abstract painting on wood panel in tones of peach, beige, rose, and purple 18 x 18 x 1 inches gouache on wood panel Wire on the back from simple hanging Pairs well with Ref: LU227743852 James O'Shea has been praised for years for his work as a colorist. His expert handling of the gouache produces layer upon layer of transparent color to create compositions that are once architectural with organic gestural, strokes. Fields of pale pink, citron and pale purple are intercepted with unexpected pops of seafoam green, neon pink and pale sky blue. Mr. O'Shea's a true master of mediums, this artist works in oil, gouache, fresco secco, acrylic and collage. Inspired by West Coast painter and printmaker, Richard Diebenkorn, O'Shea has unique color combinations and compositions that could resemble aerial views. Notes 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. 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.

  • Chasmanthium Insignias: Abstract Encaustic Painting with Green, Earth Tones
    By Allyson Levy
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Abstract encaustic painting with a green, earth toned palette. Made with natural plant material (Northern Sea Oats) "Chasmanthium Insignias I" made by Allyson Levy in 2021 encaustic and plant material on wood panel, 24 x 24 x 1 inches Lightweight, hangs with one d-ring, Signed, verso This modern abstract encaustic painting by Allyson Levy is made with Northern Sea Oats and green encaustic, sealed with a layer of neutral wax on a wood panel. The artist begins by finding the organic material in her 4-acre garden in upstate New York which she then arranges and embeds with encaustic on a wooden panel. The brown, earth toned sea oats are laid in a linear pattern on a wood panel with a surface of green encaustic and then sealed with clear wax. The encaustic wraps around to the sides of the panel, revealing some bumps and downward drips, accumulated during the natural drying process. The piece is lightweight and hangs on one d-ring. About the artist and her work: After moving to the rural town of Stone Ridge, NY seventeen years ago and starting a 4-acre botanical garden with her husband, mixed media artist, Allyson Levy, has found endless inspiration in the plant kingdom that surrounds her. The garden itself, named “Hortus Conclusus”, consisting of thousands of rare plants and edibles, remains at the epicenter of Levy’s art making. A fascination with earth’s bounty is expressed with her works in encaustic. Assorted organic material such as leaves, seeds, branches, insect wings...
