Mary Titus
'Passing By' by Mary Titus - Large Colorful Figurative Abstract Painting

2022

About the Item

Mary Titus’s "Passing By" is an expressionist figurative work that captures the fleeting moments of life. Measuring 60" x 72", this acrylic on canvas features a shadowy figure traversing an abstract landscape, rendered in a symphony of warm and cool hues. Swaths of creamy whites and grays form a reflective surface, implying a transient path for the bold, red figure. Titus’s palette is emotionally resonant—vivid oranges and reds evoke a sense of urgency and passion, while the blues and whites offer a calming counterbalance, suggesting a contemplative narrative. The abstract background blurs the lines between reality and imagination, inviting the viewer to ponder the solitude and universality of the human journey. The title, "Passing By," reinforces the transient nature of the composition, echoing the temporal nature of human experience. About the Artist: Mary Titus, a celebrated abstract painter based in Carmel, California, was born in Florida in 1950. She relocated to Carmel in 1983 and has since become a prominent figure in the local art community. A self-taught artist, Titus excels in various mediums, focusing mainly on large abstract and impressionistic paintings using acrylics and mixed media. Her work has been featured in numerous prestigious solo exhibitions, including venues like the Alkozoma Hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the Coast Gallery in Pebble Beach, California. Her art is collected globally, with pieces in the King’s Palace in Jeddah and other notable locations worldwide. In addition to her painting career, Titus has made significant contributions as an art educator. She has taught at the Longboat Key Art Center in Florida and currently instructs private students, imparting her vast knowledge and techniques. Her diverse experiences include guest appearances on TV shows and participation in a scientific Alaskan expedition, illustrating wildlife interaction. Titus's commitment to art extends beyond creation; she also actively shares her skills and insights, influencing both professional painters and beginners. Her unique style and dedication to art have made her a respected and influential figure in the world of contemporary and abstract art. Original, one-of-a-kind. Available at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
