2023

About the Item

"Hills & Valleys" is a beautiful and bright abstract acrylic painting created by San Jose, CA based artist, Betty Franks. This square painting features warm tones of pinks, yellows, orange, earthy reds, grays and beige. "Hills & Valleys" is 36"w x 36"h unframed and is ready to hang. Fields of Flowers Exhibition: Fields of Flowers immerses viewers in the vibrance and expressiveness of Betty’s large-scale, abstract paintings. Taking inspiration from hikes in the California mountains and walks within neighborhoods, Betty’s work explores the chaos, balance, and beauty found in nature where color, texture, and form create complex dialogues. It was while picking wildflowers during walks with her mother in Croatia that she was inspired to translate that experience into layers of acrylic paint, pencil markings, energetic brushstrokes and colorful forms. At first chaotic, it is in this arena that Betty uses intuitive mark- making, layering to both reveal and conceal, and changes in hue to bring a careful balance between order and disorder. Betty Franks was born in Toronto, Canada, and raised in San Jose, California. She is a self-taught abstract artist who started painting when she turned 50. Although it seemed late in life to take up painting, the timing was just right for her.

  • 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...
