About the Item
Richard Saba, the American abstract painter, is best known for works that relate to Lyrical Abstraction and Abstract Expressionism. He is renowned for his colorful palette, appearing vastly open yet concise and analytically conceived.
The artist’s abstract works juxtapose geometric forms with organic splashes, much like celestial bodies seen through the Hubble Telescope. His use of light, color and non-objective shapes shift through the canvas in a mysterious labyrinth of depth. The subtle color tones and range of Saba’s paint handling give his work its distinctive character. Each canvas is an event, caught at the optimal moment creating spectacular unpredictable compositions.
Saba received his MFA from the University of Washington and attended the prestigious Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture. His works have been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art and the National Academy of Design Museum in New York and can be found in many collections including The Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art. Saba has also been the recipient a Ford Foundation and a Pollock/Krasner Grant.

Richard Saba
Birthplace: Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1946 Education: Minneapolis College of Art & Design, B.F.A. 1968 Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, 1967

1965 Ford Foundation Grant Eric Gibson, the contributing editor of Studio International, writes: Richard Saba's work is rooted in the expressionist aesthetic, in particular that of Abstract Expressionism. His particular idiom consists of gesture painting in which vibrant but nuanced color plays a prominent role, the whole ordered by a vestigial Cubist structure. What sets his paintings apart from expressionism new and old is his effort to make his abstract language speak to broader issues about life and human values. That he succeeds is evident in the emotional scope of his work. It runs from broad and confident to restrained and introverted, and is possessed of a range and suppleness rare in contemporary painting. Such is his success at invoking more than simply the conditions of painting that are moments when one feels he has come as close to narrative art as abstraction can. Richard Saba earned his M.F.A. degree from the University of Washington after receiving his B.F.A. at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. His work is in public and corporate collections such as the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, IBM Corporation, and EF Hutton. He has been featured in one-person and group exhibitions across the United States throughout the last 30 years.

By Carlos Tirado
Located in Atlanta, GA
Carlos J. Tirado (born on April 3, 1964 in Caracas, Venezuela) is an artist, painter and sculptor who has developed a very personal and precise line of work linked to Neo-Pop art. With plenty of personal art exhibitions, Tirado has participated in numerous collective exhibitions, receiving different awards such as “III Premio de Escultura” del Certamen Aires de Córdoba in 2004 and other recognitions, among them, at the Venezuelan Embassy in DC (2005), and the X Latin Art Festival of Atlanta (2005).
Childhood
Tirado grew up in an upper-middle-class family environment. His inclination for the arts started from an early age. At 8 years old, he was already experimenting with tridimensional forms, creating molds out of cast lead from pieces previously gathered on the streets. These first artistic experiences led by his inquisitive nature, provided the ground to continue exploring the possibilities with different materials like wood, waste and plaster. His childhood games were centered around painting and sculpting, which played an important role that ranged from recreational to aesthetics.
When Tirado turned 12 years of age, his parents agreed for him to attend private art classes with professor Javier Hernandez in Caracas. Later on, he realized that Art was a profession that required investment in materials, reason that led him to work at a furniture store painting landscapes and figurative art to decorate the exhibit room. He created numerous paintings of Caracas’ famous mountain: El Avila, and other art pieces that not only served as a source of income, but more importantly, led him to deepen his figurative expression.
In 1985, he started drawing comic sets for a renowned newspaper El Diario de Caracas, alongside Jorge Blanco...

Artist's Commentary:
"When I painted this piece my intention was not to create a face. I just wanted to paint and use the time to relax and release the days tension. With this piece when you change the angle you might be able to see another bizarre abstract face. One face is of a lady and the other is of a bearded man! It's a definitely a great conversational piece!"
About the Artist:
Karen Reid is an artist known as K.Marie. She is originally from London, England and has been living in the United States for over twenty years. She now resides in Florida with her two daughters. Karen grew up in a historical environment exposed to a fusion of all kinds of art forms like music, dance, sculptures, and paintings. Using her gift, she took part in dance, singing, and poetry, but the only thing she did not partake in was painting and drawing. She appreciated it but she never believed that it was an ability she had. Fast-forward just last year May 2021 her friend - artist Shante Brooks gave her art materials and encouraged her to paint. Facing her fears, she painted and grew more comfortable as time went on and was able to turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece. Karen has stated that she is inspired by every aspect of her life - her paintings are a true and full expression of her in art form. Just this year she was invited to be featured as one of the artists at Crossroads Talent Florida and Art...
