About the Item

"(sequoia) back river yellow" is an abstract landscape painting featuring hues of yellow, pink, green and black. Katherine Sandoz is inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis, Vincent Van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Neil Welliver. Katherine Sandoz is a Savannah, Georgia, based multi-disciplinary artist working in painting, fibers, wall treatments and public art. Sandoz creates richly woven abstract landscapes inspired by landforms and native flora. Utilizing passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers of water-based media, these dynamic compositions allow the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once. Sandoz’s "(sequoia)" is a new series of paintings that examine the idea of 'locus amoenus,' a literary tool which describes an idealized, safe place, a place containing trees, grass and water. 'Locus amoenus' is at once a green world, a feminine place, an expression of a universal spirituality that is nature. A 'hortus conclusus,' or enclosed garden, is also a paradox in that nature is not, can not be, enclosed or walled. All the paintings in Sandoz’s series evoke an idealized landscape while reminding us of the artifice of the picture plane. The title, "(sequoia)," is taken from the name of the giant trees that grow in northern California. They are the tallest trees, as well as the heaviest by weight, in the world. The initial design and underlying structure for the 28 works in the series originate from a single painting of a large redwood tree stand, yet each painting has evolved into a new distinct landscape. The word 'sequoia,' in this case, is used to connote a sense of something immense, larger than ourselves, and as connected as the trees themselves. While the locations of each of the paintings are specific and unique, the architecture of the works also allows the viewer the possibility of “any place” being presented. Sand dunes become mountain cliffs, grasses become clouds, a painting can be hung north south or south north. In this way, the viewer draws connections that are both intellectual and emotional as they compare, contrast the formal aspects of the works, observe or ignore the paradoxes woven into the surfaces. Through the intellectual, emotional and physical landscape of these paintings, we might better recognize the natural world, our place in it, that we are more enmeshed than we allow. The paintings at once offer a salve for the experience of disease, discord, unrest, but they also spur us to be future-facing, to hold ourselves to a higher standard, one that is modeled by the great sequoia. As her cousin Swiss sculptor Edouard Marcel Sandoz once said, “In art, one has to love everything: nature, science, one's fellow man.” This credo holds true as Sandoz develops multi-layered vistas that offer the viewer opportunities to experience and explore the landscapes and botany of the United States. As with painters like Richard Diebenkorn and Agnes Pelton, Sandoz returns again and again to the work of the greatest designer and inspiration, Mother Nature. Sandoz studied French and International Relations at Mount Holyoke College prior to receiving an MFA in illustration and an MFA in painting at SCAD. She is a former professor of illustration, also at SCAD. Sandoz’s work hangs in private and public spaces worldwide.

Stark Canyon - Modern Original Colorful Abstract Landscape Painting
By Jodi Fuchs
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Jodi Fuchs creates modern abstract expressionistic artworks with undeniable energy. Years of inquiry into the metaphysical aspects of life have influenced her studio practice. This is where the act of creation is the muse. By following intuitive impulses, Fuchs' work speaks to the chaos and stillness (and the reconciliation of these two forces) inherent in the human experience. This original 24-inch high by 36-inch wide artwork is an acrylic composition on canvas. It is Fuchs’ fascination with the pure creative force: understanding it, harnessing it and expressing it, that fuels her painting process. This painting is signed on the back. The sides of this artwork are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U. S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Born in New York in 1964, Jodi Fuchs is an award-winning contemporary abstract painter living in Los Angeles. Her education about color and pattern came on the job while working as a decorative painter for 20+ years. One hundred thousand wine labels by Georges Duboeuf have been adorned with her art. Fuchs' work has been featured on 50+ TV and film productions, graced the lobbies of hotels from New York to Miami to Portland Oregon, and has been exhibited and collected worldwide.
