Joanne Freeman "Flying Without a Net 1" -- Abstract Oil Painting on Linen

2020

About the Item

Joanne Freeman Flying Without a Net 1, 2020 oil on linen 42 x 48 in. (freem158) This contemporary oil painting on linen features bold blue, red, and green geometric shapes on a white background with abstract mid-century flair. "My drawings and paintings utilize geometry and are influenced by architecture and design. They were initially influenced by the symbols and signage found on the streets of New York. That early visual language emerged into a reductive formal language with roots in modernist aesthetics and ideology. My current abstract oil paintings combine controlled mark making through the use of loose grids and tape with random lines and shapes. The scale and proportions of the paintings relate directly to my body proportions and my own arms reach. My minimalist approach to lines and composition enhances the more painterly aspects of color and spatial relationships. A duality of control and spontaneity is inherent in my marks and as the scale increases, the paintings relate to both the personal and surrounding architectural space. My drawings are made with gouache on handmade Indian Khadi paper. The source for the work can be found in the geometry of the city and the effects of light and shadow. They also reference graphic popular culture, specifically the simple direct designs of midcentury media. The loose geometry and idiosyncratic compositions I utilize, amplifies the simple interplay of space and color while also celebrating the odd gesture or random thought." -Joanne Freeman

    Grey & Tan Abstract Expressionist Textural Mid-Century Abstract by Peter Witwer Heavily textured, expressive composition by Peter Witwer (American, 1928-1968). Over the top of a heavy base layer of plaster, Witwer has added various layers of oil paint, creating a massive amount of depth and texture. Sections of red peek out from underneath various shades of tan, grey, and black. Spots of blue and purple are used sparingly, hidden in the composition. Presented in a wood frame. Canvas size: 20"H x 40"W Frame size: 26.63"H x 46.63"W Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Provenance: Without a will and a family that had little interest in his art, nearly all of his possessions and close to 100 paintings were turned over to SF’s Conservators Office. His friend, Albert Richard Lasker, purchased all of Peter’s possessions (including the art) and has taken care of them until this day, always sensing there was something remarkable about the collection. Wanting Peter’s work to finally be seen, Richard came to Lost Art Salon with Peter’s story after reading about the new gallery in a July, 2005 issue of the SF Chronicle. Born George Peter...
