Silver Lining

2020

About the Item

Swans in 'Silver Lining' are used as metaphors by Diana Tremaine for beauty and resilience rising above chaos during difficult times. Rich colors — blue, cream, burgundy and white — are lushly used in the romantic and definitive abstracted nature scene, where flat shapes and colors service the composition's energy. by juxtaposing hard edges with the loose juicy brushwork that the artist is known for. 'Silver Lining', 50 x 40 inch painting beautifully bridges abstraction with realism via a calming palette of color and complex layering of oil paint on canvas. Tremaine's dynamic, representational and nature-centric oil paintings reflect a search for truth and meaning. The artist develops brushstrokes and marks by adding and then obliterating some of the story in a free-association editorial process of discovering what is most important and lasting. The melancholy images echo her experiences in an autobiographical fashion, but they are also universal and touch upon and evoke our collective memories like ghosts of what was. Created with a limited palette, there is visual poetry in her surfaces, including the tension that exists when simultaneously holding on and letting go. Diana Tremaine's Artist Statement for this series, 'Navigating Crosscurrents': "I am often taken aback by the might shown by tiny little songbirds managing the winds and rains that at times surround them. In my “Navigating Crosscurrents” series, the birds stand as metaphors for the human experience while the abstraction around them represents the forces - both internal and external, natural and man-made - that act around and within each of us every day. Life is a balancing act – at times breezy and light, at others cacophonous and overwhelming. These images speak metaphorically to the delicate balance and fortitude required as we journey down our respective paths." The bicoastal New York City-born artist studied and taught in both Northern and Southern California. She later moved to Montana—in a search for spiritual space and room to breathe—where she works and lives with her family, dogs and horses. The on canvas was painted in February and March of 2020. Artist signed, titled and dated. Condition is excellent / new. A stunning and highly collectable work of art by Diane Tremaine from Andra Norris Gallery in Burlingame, CA
