Manarola, Original Framed Contemporary Colorful Abstract Mixed Media Painting

2020

About the Item

Manarola, Original Framed Contemporary Colorful Abstract Mixed Media Painting 60x50x2 (HxWxD), Mixed Media Bright colors burst out towards the viewer in this abstact mixed media work by artist Stacey Warnix. Large planes of creams and taupes are contrasted by bright orange, yellow, and blue forms that overalp and one another, playing with the idea of depth and creating an interesting illusion of perspective. Perhaps it is the golden tone exuding from the left side of the composition, or the series of orange, red, purple, and pink squares that echoe from its center, but there is something ever so slightly reminiscent of the works of Gustav Klimt. It is as if a Klimt painting had the brightness and saturation turned up, was made to fit the contemporary art world, and was completely abstracted. Artist Commentary: This painting is part of the artist's Millefiori Collection. Italian for a thousand flowers, Millefiori embraces the artist’s love of flowers and travel. Gestural marks and movements combine to form a composition that varies with the viewer’s tendencies: a loosely splayed flower at the micro-level might be experienced as an enveloping abstract landscape by someone with a more macro viewpoint. In creating each piece, the artist builds innumerable layers of translucent color to yield delicate, ethereal tonal effects over raw Belgian linen. Structurally, the artist renders compositions loosely inspired from hazy, fleeting memories of places and moments experienced during extensive international travels over 30 years. By limiting mark-making to imprecise, free-flowing movements, the lack of contextual representation conveys a sense of ambiguity and universality. These intentionally vague abstract works straddle a space that feels both familiar and imagined, like a bewildering daydream. This painting ships ready to hang in a whitewashed solid wood float frame. About The Artist: Stacey Warnix is an American lyrical abstraction painter who uses gestural methods to render large-scale, non-representational paintings over raw textile. Her paintings explore the experiential affect of nuanced color and scale, utilizing contrasting layers of disparate translucency and texture to subtly shift the perception, light reflectivity, and luminosity of nature-inspired color fields. Introduced to representational oil painting as a preschooler by an artist grandmother, Stacey created paintings and collages throughout her childhood, winning frequent awards, but she ultimately pursued a professional career in law and finance. In 2014, she left that career to dedicate more time to a home restoration business and started painting large scale abstract artworks for use in projects. Within weeks of posting a few paintings to social media, Stacey was invited to sell artworks in an upscale home décor boutique, and from that unplanned, very unintentional start, her art practice quickly grew. Preferring a vague composition that can be anything to anyone, Stacey experimented with gestural abstraction and became enamored with the process as a meditative escape. Today, Stacey paints mainly large-scale paintings incorporating a wide range of media over raw grounds. She paints to escape a world of precision, finding respite in abstract forms, textures, and tones.
