Get in Gear - Geometric Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Paper

1986

About the Item

Get in Gear - Geometric Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Paper A bold abstract painting in red by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). A large gear (possibly a transmission flywheel flexplate) is used to form the basis of this painting. The pressed image had been modified with water and additional layers of paint to create the impression that the gear is burning or in motion. Signed and dated in the lower left corner: R. de Silva - 86 Paper size: 30"H x 22.25"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's. He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg, Alice Robertson Carr, Deborah Eve Alastra, Russell Kelly, and Diana Mark.
