About the Item
This amazing large 1963 abstract landscape mixed media composition is by Greek artist Valerios Caloutsis. His work is similar to Lucio Fontana, Spatialist. This movement focused on the spatial qualities of sculpture and paintings with the goal of breaking through the two-dimensionality of the traditional picture plane. Spatialism demonstrated a relentless interest in the relationship between surface and dimensionality. This is demonstrated by Caloutsis' painting, making holes in the picture plane and slicing through canvas in order to expose the dimensional space beneath. A stunning large composition from his time in Paris and an exceptional example of his work.
Signed, dated 1963 and inscribed verso.
Provenance. Christies London.
Condition. Mixed media on canvas, large image size 40 inches by 32 inches and in good condition.
Housed in a surround frame, 42 inches by 34 inches and in good condition.
Valerios Caloutsis (1927-2004). Greek artist Valerios Caloutsis was born on the island of Crete in 1927. After studying at the school of art in Athens, he came to England in 1952 and was for a while a student at St. Martin's School of Art. In 1953 he moved to Paris where he attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and settled in the French capital. He achieved success, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, with fiercely abstract works in a variety of media. In Paris in the late 1950s he had solo shows at Galerie 93, Salon de Mai and Salon de la Jeune Peintures. Caloutsis exhibited at the New Vision Gallery London in 1960, a work from which was shown at Bede Gallery, Jarrow's 1984 retrospective assessing the New Vision Gallery's influence, and had four solo shows at the Redfern in the 1960s. His work was also included in the major exhibition 'The Years of Defiance: The Art of the '70s in Greece' at the National Museum of Modern Art, Athens from December 2005-May 2006. Caloutsis is represented in the permanent collection.

"Ocean Waves #09" Mixed Media Painting
Located in Denver, CO
Ana Hefco's (US based) "Ocean Waves #09" is an original, hand made mixed media painting that depicts an abstracted color field of blue, teal and beige, that is reminiscent of an aerial/satellite image of a coastal beach where the waves crash on shore.
Artist Bio and Statement:
Born and raised in Bucharest Romania, I am a self-taught dreamer and artist. To dream is my path and to paint is my dream.
Lack of control is not my strong suit, but in the painting process things are different. The resin (also known as liquid glass) has a mind of its own and I learn to mindfully let go every time I paint. I allow those liquid color induced emotions I feel to drive me and take lead of my hands and at the end of the process, it’s just music and bliss. My inspiration is always nature's force, balance, perfection in purpose and beauty. It can be a place I travelled or sailed to or just a feeling floating on our boat docked in a Turkish marina or just on anchor nearby a Greek taverna on a remote tiny island in the Mediterranean or Aegean Sea. It can be this artist as a little girl reading...
