About the Item

Crossing Over 40.0 x 24.0 x 1.75, 12.0 lbs Acrylic Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "Crossing Over (CO) is a medium sized original abstract diptych acrylic painting on panels by artist Marlene Struss, protected with satin polymer varnish, signed, wired, and cradled in stained wood. A fascinating organically patterned surreal landscape lies at the bottom of the picture like a perished body under a foreboding green sky fraught with bolts of yellow. The impression is one of stark and mysterious beauty on an unearthly plane. CO was used by Park Pictures for Bank of America; By Plane Meets Paper in Insecure, Season 5; ABC Studios used CO on the set of How to Get Away with Murder Season 6; CO appeared in Warner Bros. production B Positive; CO was used by Palmar Productions in Costume Party; Epoch Films used CO in Zillow; Topanga Productions used CO in Call Your Mother; Mesquite Productions Inc. used CO in For All Mankind, Season 3; CO appears in the Netflix production Hot Dummies; Guys with Books put CO in its project Purple Hearts; 20th Century Fox used CO in How I Met Your Mother." About the Artist: Marlene Struss grew up in California dreaming of being an artist for as long as she can remember. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Santa Barbara in 1973, working with such esteemed instructors as Irma Cavat and Howard Warshaw. Over the years Struss has created bodies of work in media including printmaking, surrealistic montage, realistic pastel, painterly collage, digital paintings, and, at the present time abstract acrylic paintings on panel. Because she strives to succeed without succumbing to artistic trends and dictates, she has developed a highly individualistic style of painting that can be described as biomorphic abstract expressionism. Struss has made steady progress in her career by exhibiting broadly throughout the United States, some foreign countries, and online and being involved in the arts community in Santa Barbara, California. Among the awards she has received are the Individual Artist Award in Assemblage from the Arts Fund of Santa Barbara in 2004 and the Best in Show Award at the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art in its Tri-County Juried Exhibition in 2019. Presently she is represented by 10 West Gallery and the Corridan Gallery and is a member of the Abstract Art Collective in Santa Barbara. She is also represented by Marina Kieser, art consultant catering to the movie and television industry, in North Hollywood. Struss's work can be seen in many television productions, including Man with a Plan, The Big Bang Theory, Mom, Lucifer, NCIS LA, By the Book, New Girl, The Better Half, Grey’s Anatomy, Ballers, and more. Her artwork has appeared in several publications, including Studio Visit, Vol. Two; National Association of Women Artists, Inc. 122nd Annual Exhibition; and Kennedy Publishing Company’s Best Of California, Vol. 1 and Best of America, Vol. 1.

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
