THE WAY 4 - Mixed Media Painting On Jute Canvas, Abstract Artwork, Large Format

2012

About the Item

„The Way #4”, mixed media (soil, pearl glue, oil, powder pigment, rosin) on jute, 140 x 170, 2012 Series “The Way” by Marta Pokojowczyk contains mixed media paintings on jute created between 2011 and 2012. Canvases were a part of the diploma concept on the Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wrocław, entitled "The Possibility of an Island". "The Way" do not show any concrete journey but rather represents a state of being. The horizontal line expresses continuity and in the same time it shows an interval, a border dividing surface. Works can function as individual pieces or they can create larger composition where the place of each painting can be different each time. Series “The Way” iniciated a performative aspect of the discipline of Painting in which an experimental and multistage process of creation is as important as the final piece. To create these raw canvases I had ripped coffee jute sacks and sewed them again on a sewing machine. What intrests me the most is the "adventurous" surface of jute and its vulgar matter, tiny imperfections. Some parts of canvases are left with the original prints fom South America which are a part of the design of each painting. Series “The Way” juxtaposes in itself pairs of contradictions, harmony and chaos, peace and upcoming storm, continuity and interval, aestethics and vulgarity, lightness and weight. What’s more, the form of a sack, so interesting in its shape and function, is a prototype of the further woven art works - Canvases 3D. Marta Pokojowczyk born in 1985 in Wrocław, Poland, graduated Art History at the University of Wroclaw and Painting at the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Art and Design in Wroclaw. In 2014/2015 attended a transboundary program Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs in 'Helena Loermans Handwoven Textiles’ Atelier in Odemira, Portugal. Entering the discipline of weaving is the crucial point in artist’s practice which let the author to deepen the issue of the canvas as a groundwork (basis for painting). Designing 3-dimensional textile objects which interweave fine and applied arts is a transposition of the artpiece from a sphere of a pure view directly into the human environment. In 2017 Marta set up Interweave Studio - Atelier where art interlaces with craft and humanities. She is artistically connected with Wroclaw, Suprasl (Podlaskie Voivodeship) and Odemira.

  • Large Colorful MCM Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting Modernist Ralph Rosenborg
    By Ralph Rosenborg
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Ralph Rosenborg (American, 1913-1992) Mountain Weed with Two Clouds, oil on jute canvas, canvas is hand signed recto and verso, artists label and Snyder Fine Art gallery label, The painting is dated 1965. Dimensions: 24 x 36 canvas, framed size is 44.5 x 32.5. Ralph Rosenborg (1913–1992) was an American artist whose paintings were described as both expressionist and abstract and who was a colleague of the New York Abstract Expressionists in the 1940s and 1950s. Unlike them, however, he preferred to make small works and tended to explicitly draw upon natural forms and figures for his abstract subjects. Called a "highly personal artist," he developed a unique style that was considered to be both mystical and magic. His career was exceptionally long, covering more than 50 years. Rosenborg was born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 9, 1913. In 1929, while he was a high school student, he began to work with the designer, artist, and instructor, Henriette Reiss. When Rosenborg encountered her, Reiss was serving as an instructor for the School Art League in the American Museum of Natural History. She was then engaged in instructing both students and their teachers in the city school system by a method she called Rhythmic Design. She believed inspiration for abstract designs could be found in rhythms—rhythms that could be perceived in ordinary perceptions much as they are when listening to music. In May 1930 Reiss selected a drawing by Rosenborg to be shown in an exhibition of creative design by City high school students. From 1930 to 1933, aged 17 to 20, Rosenborg studied with Reiss in what Vivien Raynor of the New York Times called a "pupil-apprentice" relationship. During this time she instructed him in music appreciation, literature, and art history as well as giving technical training in art. In April 1934 Rosenborg was one of 1,500 artists to participate in the annual Salons of America exhibition, which was held that year in Rockefeller Center RCA Building. Each paid two dollars for the privilege of hanging up to three works and none was given prominence over the others. The New York Times reported that by the time the show closed a month later, some 30,000 people had viewed it. The following year he was given a solo exhibition (his first) at the Lounge Gallery of the Eighth Street Playhouse. The year after that he participated in a group show held by the Municipal Art Committee and in 1937 was given a second solo exhibition, this time in the Artists Gallery. That year he also became a founding member of and participated in a group show held by American Abstract Artists, a loose assembly of artists that aimed to promote abstract art and artists in New York. Its founders included Josef Albers, Ilya Bolotowsky, Werner Drewes, Ibram Lassaw, Mercedes Matter, Louis Schanker, Vaclav Vytlacil and Rudolph Weisenborn. At roughly the same time Rosenborg associated himself with a group of abstractionists that called itself "The Ten" (It included Ben-Zion, Mark Rothko, Adolph Gottlieb and Joe Solman) and in May 1938 joined with its other members in what would be his first appearance in a commercial gallery: the Gallery Georgette Passedoit. In 1938 he his work appeared in a group show at the Lounge Gallery, in 1939 in group shows at the Artists Gallery and at the Bonestell Gallery with David Burliuk, Earl Kerkam, Karl Knaths and Jean Liberte...
