About the Item
Figurative abstract style black, white, and blue acrylic painting of the Greek Goddess, Nike, "Winged Victory of Samothrace" with an antique wood frame with carved detail
"Nike Descending IV," by Hudson Valley artist, David Dew Bruner, made in 2020
acrylic on canvas
19 x 15.5 inches, 27 x 31 inches in an antique wood frame with a carved elaborate leaf motif
Signed by the artist, verso
Excellent condition, the frame exhibits some wear consistent with age, which is the artist's intent
This abstracted figurative acrylic and graphite painting on panel was made by Hudson Valley artist, David Dew Bruner, in 2020. The artist captures Nike in mid-flight with white wings spread behind her in a victorious stance. The white figure is contrasted on a black and blue background with wispy details of acrylic paint. The brushwork and pencil markings are gesturally applied, which lends an abstract, wind-swept effect. The painting is completed on canvas and is complemented with an antique wood frame with carved leaf details. The artist collects antique frames and hand picks them for his artwork. The frames do exhibit some wear consistent with age, which is an intentional decision on behalf of the artist.
About the series:
David Dew Bruner presents a new series of paintings and drawings inspired by the iconic Greek statue of the winged goddess, Nike. Now prominently displayed at the Louvre in Paris, the riveting marble sculpture from 190 BC has symbolized victory for millennia, and became an uplifting visual reminder to the Stottville, NY artist that the triumph over the corona virus is within reach. Studying a small-scale replica in his home while undoubtedly listening to the news in the background, Bruner captured the figure flying triumphantly forward, which under a modern lens came to “signify the arrival of the vaccine and the restoration of hope”, says the artist. In keeping with his past work that reinterpreted famous paintings like Velazquez’s Infanta Margarita and Morandi’s bottle still lifes, Bruner reworked the winged goddess with his signature enlivened markings in graphite and acrylic in studies ranging 5 inches to 6 feet tall. The final compositions are complemented with antique frames hand selected from the artist’s collection.
About the artist:
When he’s not designing stained glass or city park gardens, David Dew Bruner unleashes yet another facet of his talents via graphite drawings. A wealth of knowledge, both studied and intuitive, Bruner finds inspiration in many of his artistic predecessors. In his process he retains a resonating detail from a particular series of work and then reinterprets and reassembles the influence into his own drawing experience. Oftentimes, drawings are the accumulation of up to four pre-existing images, as an ode to Rauschenberg's erased DeKooning piece, drawn and erased any number of times until the pinnacle of Bruner's vision is achieved. Bruner has the eye of a hawk, and his years spent in dealing antiques means he knows a treasure when he finds one. Therefore, his studio, once an old train depot in Valatie, NY, has been tastefully converted to not only house his personal collection of art and mid century modern fixtures, but also to store a stockpile of vintage and modern frames. As he zealously produces one inspired work on paper after the next, he predestines a frame for each drawing before it is completed. In recent years, the artist has made two new series inspired by Morandi's bottle still lifes and Francis Bacon's portraits. The likeness of each artist's subject is expressed on paper, re-envisioned through Bruner's characteristic style of excitedly applied graphite that produce shard-like fragments embedded with deep interwoven marks. David Dew Bruner will also feature work inspired by Richard Lindner’s figures and Velasquez's Infanta Margarita.

Little Blue (Abstract Geometric Mixed Media Encaustic Work on Wooden Panel)
By Donise English
Located in Hudson, NY
Little Blue, 2020
Encaustic & collage on thin edged board
12" X 12"
This abstract geometric composition on wooden board features a playful geometric motif that is inspired by the artist's interest in architecture and blueprint drawings. The geometric forms are made in a more painterly, gestural manner rather than with a hard edge. Paint is not heavily built up upon the surface but it certainly exhibits a tactile quality which is characteristic of the artist's aesthetic. English's work celebrates the quirky, unexpected qualities of shapes and colors.
About the artist:
Donise English is a Poughkeepsie-based artist who received her MFA from Bard College and is currently a Professor of Studio Art at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY.
Artist Statement:
I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
