About the Item
This 13" x 13" oil on birch panel painting is by Oklahoma artist, April Dawes.
This painting presents a composition centered on a solitary figure, whose arms are raised in an expressive gesture close to the head. The artist employs a semi-abstract approach, characterized by loose and gestural brushwork, yet still representative.
Dawes utilizes a limited color palette, dominated by dark, earthy tones with subtle highlights. The dramatic interplay of light and shadow suggests the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that enhances the figure’s three-dimensional presence.
The figure’s garment appears to be composed of a lightweight, flowing, sheer fabric, rendered with broad, sweeping strokes that evoke movement. The background, while indistinct, serves to emphasize the figure through tonal contrasts, ensuring a compelling visual hierarchy.
April Dawes graduated from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma in 1999, receiving a BFA with a double emphasis in Graphic Design and Oil Painting. Following graduation, she spent several years working as a web/graphics designer for a technologies company and as a graphic designer for a marketing and advertising firm. She worked as a freelance graphic designer and commission artist until the birth of her first child in 2003. April immersed herself into the role of raising and caring for her children. Art remained a driving force in her life, painting and drawing when time would allow. Since 2016, she has been actively pursuing her art career with a renewed sense of passion and purpose. In 2017, April had her first solo exhibition at S.P.Q.R. Arts Space in Colorado Springs. Since, she has had additional solo shows and has participated in multiple group exhibitions in both Colorado and Oklahoma. When not in her studio, April enjoys teaching, spending time with her family on their farm, hiking and camping.
April creates figurative oil paintings that focus on themes of identity and connection relating to the human condition. Through the expressive and emotive nature of the human form, she explores the impact of key life experiences, society and community on the shaping of personal idenities, with the aim of creating an emotional connection with viewer.
