About the Item
"Beach Day" by Betsy Podlach captures the serene introspection of a day spent by the shore. In this 45" x 38" oil on linen, the expressionist influences are clear, as Podlach forgoes strict realism to emphasize the emotional resonance of the moment. The subject, adorned in black swimwear, is rendered with loose, flowing brushstrokes that suggest rather than define her form, set against a backdrop of warm yellow and cool blue hues that evoke the sand and sky. The painting’s subdued palette and the soft focus of the figure create a sense of nostalgic calm, reflective of a breezy, sunlit day by the sea. This work continues Podlach's exploration of human experience through expressionist techniques, inviting viewers into a contemplative space that is both personal and universal.
About the Artist:
Betsy Podlach is a figurative painter deeply rooted in tradition, yet her approach is refreshingly modern. Drawing on the principles of abstract expressionism, Podlach seeks to create space and light on the canvas using color, lines, and forms that evoke a magical synthesis of the physical and the spiritual. Her work reflects the influences of both Italian Venetian masters and American abstract expressionists, with the likes of Titian and Jackson Pollock being her most notable mentors. She has studied with key figures from the New York school of the 1950s and has also spent significant time painting in Italy and Paris. Podlach’s work is not just an expression of form but a deeper communication of human experience, aiming to convey emotions, force, and movement without the use of words. She embraces life's complexities and seeks to reflect them in her work, making her creations a vivid embodiment of her love for life and art.
Several of Betsy's paintings were printed on apparel at Marni's 2019 Milan Fashion Show.
THE NEW YORK TIMES:
"IN BETSY’S SENSUAL PORTRAITS, IS AN UNDERCURRENT OF LOVE.
In all the works, the soul of the narrative rests in the models’ eyes — often closed — and in their lips, painted in the embellishment of feminine beauty and emblematic of profound, not carnal, desire."
The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal.
