Black and White(Boxers) 36" x 48" Figurative Contemporary Brushstrokes

2024

About the Item

Black and White, oil on canvas 36" x 48 " Shevlino says he is often drawn to subjects which convey both a sense of movement and which have a narrative that resonates with me. Boxers embody both qualities for me. Visually there is terrific energy in the subject, but I’m also intrigued by the struggle between the two figures trying to overcome one another. This oil on canvas painting by Shevlino link traditional representation with abstraction. Through Shevlino’s sensuous application of paint, his use of broad brushstrokes followed by a tightening up of the composition, and his making of spontaneous, gestural marks, the artist creates living, breathing figures that not only stand before us, but move, beckon, and dance. David Shevlino was born in Jersey City, NJ in 1962. A graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the University of Pennsylvania, he also studied at the Art Students' League in New York. Growing up near NYC, Shevlino was exposed to art as a teenager. He began making trips to art museums at age 15 and developed a love of traditional figurative painting. His early work was very traditional and classically inspired. However, after many years of experimenting, Shevlino began exploring a looser paint application which straddles the line between representational painting and abstraction. This "in between" area is where the painter feels most comfortable and best able to express his artistic voice. His paintings are characterized by broad brushstrokes, a sensuous application of paint and an obvious feel for tonal harmonies. At the same time, the artist demonstrates a firm sense of control, tightening up the composition through his deft modeling of the human form. Shevlino has exhibited work nationally in both solo and group exhibits over the past two decades and currently lives in NC. Additional Paintings by David Shevlino are shown in the images.
