Steve Balkin Lyrical Expressionism Large Painting on Canvas

2016

About the Item

Large scale painting by Steve Balkin titled “Entre Nous”. Balkin is known as being the creator of “Lyrical Impression” which is clearly displayed and defined in this example. He is also well know for his associations with Andy Warhol as well as his friendship with Robin Williams which is believed to have originated at Balkin’s toy store ‘Burlington Toys’ on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Balkin has been well known for his photography as well as his dealings in vintage toys most specifically toy soldiers. Balkin was also a model in his earlier Warhol days being one of the '13 beautiful boys' in Warhols 13 Most Beautiful. Balkin also stars in the 2009 Documentary:  13 MOST BEAUTIFUL / SCREEN TESTS REVISITED which is a film recreation of one of Andy Warhol's seminal SCREEN TESTS.  Thirteen original subjects of Andy Warhol's screen tests re-perform them 45 years later: Steve Balkin, Randy Bourscheidt, John Giorno, Bibbe hansen, Sally Kirkland, Billy Linich, Taylor Mead,  Throughout Balkin's multidimensional life- he has painted. Upon his passing in 2023 a cache of these paintings have been unearthed. His painting ambitions, though lifelong had not been fully realized in his lifetime. He was known to have said: “I will be famous when I die”. This does indeed seem to be prophetic as these paintings are becoming sought after by collectors and are inching towards collecting the value in numbers that Balkin attempted during the handful of public gallery shows that he had during his lifetime. Seen here is a beautifully done painting on canvas that is signed, dated, and titled on the reverse. "Enter Nous" "2016"

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
