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.

Paloma's Dance - Original Oil on Canvas Abstract Figurative Dancer Painting
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Mark Acetelli’s oil and mixed media paintings awaken the viewer’s sense of exploration and adventure; they demand a new discovery. His artworks exhibit a chemistry of complexity and spontaneity, a lyrical abstraction of frenzied marks, many of which previously lay hidden, buried beneath strong layers of self-taught expression. Those truths, first obscured and then obvious, aim to engage the viewer, allowing them to explore their own interpretation. His figurative abstract artworks are represented by Artspace Warehouse in Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including London, New York, and Hong Kong.
This original oil painting on canvas measures 20 inches high by 16 inches wide. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted black and it does not require framing. It is signed by the artist on the front of the artwork and titled on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included.
Mark Acetelli was born in Detroit into an artistic household. Mark’s mother herself was a painter and some of his earliest memories were the smell of turpentine and oil paints. Growing up surrounded by his mother's work, she inspired and encouraged him to become an artist.
Acetelli’s paintings are inspired by the intensely personal introspective journey of life, from the ever-changing complexities of love, loss, birth, and death. The context of his work he describes as, “Absence and Presence” pertaining to how someone or something can be physically gone, but the essence still remains. Capturing the physical mixed with spirituality on canvas. His application of paint is an extension of that thought process. He works by continuously building up and tearing down, layer upon layer, adding and subtracting. A visceral dance between the conscious and the unconscious until the emotion is expressed.
Acetelli’s paintings may go through multiple incarnations with the past lying just beneath the surface, adding to its overall dimension and depth. In his work, Acetelli seeks to evoke a feeling rather than depict a defined image. He uses primarily oils and encaustics to create thickly layered canvases with emotive bursts of color. Creating a world where imagination and reality come together. Acetelli’s works can be found in many private and corporate collections around the world, including Bill Withers...
