Up To No Good Gang, Original Signed Bold Contemporary Abstract Figure Painting

2021

About the Item

Up To No Good Gang, Original Signed Bold Contemporary Abstract Figure Painting 36x36x1 (HxWxD), Acrylic Paint Reminiscent of Pablo Picasso's cubist portraits, this painting by Wyanne Thompson features a bold color scheme of bright orange, blue, purple, and green. These shades of neon are used to highlight different features on the faces of three figures that are staring back out at the viewer. Irregular eye heights and long linear noses adorn the faces that are lined up across this square composition. The eye contact the viewer engages with is slightly confrontational, and yet the shapes and colors used contain a jovial and lighthearted feel.

About The Artist: Wyanne (pronounced Y-anne) has been a full-time artist for the past 25 years. Her work is in collections all over the world including corporate and institutional settings. In late 2013 Wyanne was diagnosed with Stage IV oral cancer. She had never smoked and was otherwise relatively healthy. She lost her entire tongue and 66 lymph nodes. Speaking clearly has become a challenge. She takes all of her food and drink through a stomach feeding tube, but she is still cancer free. Wyanne considers the cancer a gift, pushing her to find the courage to express herself more honestly and boldly. She doesn’t waste a minute of the time she's been given, painting full time most every day. Her Work is Bold, Dramatic, Colorful, Contemporary, and filled with Abstract expressionism. Inspired by Helen Frankenthaler, many of her pieces are quite large and painted on raw unprimed canvas that is lovingly stained and painted in acrylics with elements of mica, pigments, glitter, and sometimes other mixed media.
