About the Item

The Kiss - Abstract Figurative Composition in Acrylic on Paper A bold abstract painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). Figurative Abstract of two lovers embracing. A large section of red is divided in two by a dark blue streak. This shape is a repeating theme in De Silva's work. Above the red section is a brown cap, with white accents. This piece was created as a glass press transfer, meaning that the artist created the composition on a piece of glass and then pressed it into the paper, leaving a textured effect. Signed and dated in the lower right: R. de Silva 86 Paper size: 19"H x 12.5"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.
