About the Item

Katherine Borkowski-Byrne’s “Yin-Yang” is a colorful abstract expressionist oil painting 38 x 60 x 1.5 inches on linen with thick and thin spontaneous brushwork, drips and splashes. Calligraphic marks are intermixed with painterly painting. This piece, representing ancient Chinese philosophy, began with two large opposing shapes, representing Yin and Yang, facing in separate directions with marks making moves away from each other. Primary colors of reds, blues and yellows were added to the first layer. Later the two opposite shapes were joined with the addition of more lines with oranges and greens. With quick strokes, white and black lines were added to create one shape with Yin becoming Yang and Yang becoming Yin. Hints of the two separate shapes still remain. This emotionally raw painting changes dramatically in different lighting and will continue to reveal surprising details. “Yin-Yang” has a vibrant overall composition. It hangs well without a frame with sides painted white and the signature on the reverse. Katherine paints while listening to opera and translates the many layered-music into many-layered paintings. She is influenced by the art of the New York School of Abstract Expressionism with it’s focus on being in the moment and the use of fortunate accidents and experimental techniques. Katherine’s work is in many corporate and private collections. She is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.

"The Quiet Spot 3", Abstract Landscape, Twilight, Blue, Aqua, Oil Painting, 2022
By Anita Loomis
Located in Natick, MA
“The Quiet Spot 3” is a 25 x 25 x 1.5 inch oil painting on linen canvas by Anita Loomis that offers a sultry and dreamlike abstract landscape at twilight. With a modern romantic sensibility, the rich aqua blue tones, the composition speaks to stolen moments of solitude in private places. The is an opportunity to collect one of Loomis’ less frequently offered tonal works. Shifting shadows can be seen thru the veils of color; a treatment that lends the scene a truly quiet feel. The silky reflective surface and black gallery painted edges provide a formal finish. This painting is signed on the back. Anita Loomis is a painter who works from her studio in Kittery, Maine. Communication and the natural world are key subjects of her paintings. Her occasional tonal landscapes offer views of imagined natural spaces for escape and contemplation. Anita Loomis creates paintings that explore facets of human dialogue and relationships. Through painting, humor, and a deep curiosity about human imperfection, she investigates what it means to navigate communication with people who see the world through different cultural lenses. Loomis paints to shine a light on the common threads that connect our human experiences and spotlight the value of empathy. Loomis earned her BA in Studio Art from Framingham State University in Massachusetts, and her MA with a concentration in Arts Management from the University of Central Florida. She worked in the field of architectural stained glass for fifteen years and has focused on painting since 2004. She lives and works in Kittery, Maine. Her work has been exhibited at Miller White Gallery, South Dennis, MA; Fountain Street Gallery, Boston, MA, and various exhibitions in New England, Pennsylvania...
