About the Item

Mixed media painting by Rajan Seth. This painting is made with ink in the colours of Prussian blue, and shimmering metallic gold. The idea behind this work is to depict the differing tones of the ocean, waters that are deep and dark, vs the shimmering gold waters that are seen in more shallow and tropical settings.

London artist Rajan Seth has been creating waves with his atmospheric abstracts. A qualified accountant, Rajan become abundantly aware that his chosen career path lay not in numerical spreadsheets, but in complex canvases; his analytic mind had a creative calling that he simply could not ignore. His unconventional style of ‘painting without a paintbrush’, using tools such as palette knifes and paint scrapers allow him to build layers, texture and contrast into each of his pieces. Combining this with his passion for incorporating metallic colours into his work and his use of mixed media has enabled him to develop a unique approach which has become notable for its soft yet compelling structure. My inspiration is drawn from my surrounding environment. Painting is about feeling, and I want people to draw different conclusions when they see my Work”. Rajan has worked with a number of clients and celebrities including Fearne Cotton (TV), James Anderson (England Cricketer), Luke Evans (Actor), Ashley Walters (Actor) to name a few. My paintings explore the relationship between elements such as the skies, the oceans,the natural environment such as the formation of rocks, cliffs, and weathered material. In my work, I aim to bring together certain properties of each of these elements to create an experience and understanding of the world and the contrasting relationships between each of these ideas. The use of texture in my work is formed using material which has been subjected to the forces of the weather, and I love to use ‘untouched’ and ‘natural’ material in my work to form the basis of all my paintings.  The use of ink in my work has been a work in progress that I have been experimenting with over the past year. The use of this new medium has proved to be invaluable to the message and direction that I would like my work to take. On each of the works, I manipulate the Ink using air from my mouth as I want to form a stronger relationship with the canvas and the way that the ink Is manipulated. In this body of works, I have aimed to bring together certain properties of the natural environment and materials. The marks and the movement in the paintings have been made purposefully to evoke emotions of nature and the rhythm of the outside forces.  I have worked with materials to ‘crack’ the surface of the paintings to add elements of physicality and the deterioration of surfaces which is current in the natural environment and particularly on surfaces closer to the coast.

  • Abstract Expressionist Virtues Landscape Venetian Plaster Painting Shawn Dulaney
    By Shawn Dulaney
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Shawn Dulaney The Virtues IV Handmade paint on venetian plaster on paper, signed and titled verso 22 x 30 in. (sheet), 28 1/4 x 36 1/4 in. (frame). Shawn Dulaney’s paintings are layered constructions of color, spacious abstractions that read like cloud banks, flows of water, magnetic fields charged with monumental energy. Dulaney spent her childhood on a vast Colorado plateau looking west to the Rocky Mountains and has travelled widely, immersing herself in landscape. Her work captures the experience and feeling of place. Doug McClemont of ArtNews writes that Dulaney’s paintings “concern the earth, and the unyielding hand of nature”. Her work has been described by William Zimmer of The New York Times as belonging to “a very strong tradition, that of 19 th -century Northern European Romanticism in which nature was seen as corresponding to human emotional states.” He says of her work, “Ms. Dulaney makes it clear that her inner life is very much a part of each painting, and this alone distinguishes it from most abstraction…Shawn Dulaney is deliberately out for grandeur, but she is also out for intimacy. Her paintings take advantage of their innate ambiguity and declare themselves to be very current in the thinking that lies behind them.” "The kind of painting to which Ms. Dulaney's work is most closely related, at least superficially, is the Mark Rothko branch of Abstract Expressionism, in which a sense of deep space is sought." Dulaney makes handmade paints consisting of acrylic medium and powdered pigments allowing her to get a wide range of saturations and transparencies as they spread out on Venetian plaster and linen over panel. “Her surfaces”, as described by Dominick Lombardi-also of The New York Times, are “exquisitely painted and a pleasure to see.” Dulaney continues to travel between New York, the American Southwest, and the United Kingdom, as well as having recently been awarded the Pink House Artist Residency on the Beara Peninsula in Ireland. Her paintings capture the ephemeral and evoke the Celtic notion of a “thin place”, a place of energy where the veil between this world and the eternal is thin. A working artist for over 4 decades, Dulaney is represented by Sears Peyton Gallery, Weber Fine Art, Carrie Haddad Gallery and Beth Urdang Gallery. Exhibited widely, her paintings can be found in extensive public and private collections including those of the Hunterdon Museum of Art in NJ, the Venetia Resort in China, J Crew in NYC, as well as in the private collections of author Annie Proulx, actor Steve Buscemi, talk-show host Conan O’Brien and musician Stuart Copeland. Her work has appeared in episodes of TV’s Enlightened, Portlandia and Sex & the City, and the films It’s Complicated (2009), Interview (2007) and John Wick...
