"Madame" by Frida Willis - Contemporary Figurative Painting with Woman and Snake

2022

About the Item

Frida Willis (Swedish, born 1971) "Madame" 2022 Oil paint, Canvas, Stretcher bars The artist signed the back of the painting. In 'Madame,' sister piece of 'The Queen,' Frida Willis ventures again into the realm of contemporary figurative abstraction with breathtaking results. This striking masterpiece is a captivating exploration of the symbiotic relationship between humanity and nature, portrayed through the powerful imagery of a woman with a snake elegantly wrapped around her neck like a living, sinuous scarf. The canvas is awash with a rich palette that tells a story of contrasts and connections. The woman's form emerges from the depths of black, her skin a canvas of red, white, brown, and blue, each color suggesting a facet of her identity and experience. Her presence is commanding, evoking a sense of both vulnerability and strength. About the Artist: Frida Willis, the Swedish-born artist, uncovered her passion for art at a young age due to her mother's artistic love. Frida followed her unfulfilled dreams, even if arts was nothing that was taken seriously and not even talked a lot about in her little village of 3000. Fast forward to the present and her works now are in the homes of The American Art Gallery's most valued patrons. Her abstract works are large in scale, powerful in perception, and always both vibrant and extremely textured - allowing for a third degree when one is viewing them. Her works are ever-improving and filled with more and more emotion with each iteration.

Woman, Dog & Spring Flowers Figurative Abstract Painting with Petroglyphs
By Cindy Kane

This unique monumental piece, created in 1987, has a netherworld primal quality depicting a petroglyph-like blonde woman and her animal spirit dog bending toward a flower-strewn earth. Additional petroglyph vignettes add mystery to narrative. Signed and dated "Kane '87" upper right. Unframed. Image size: 66.5"H x 84"W. Her early works were influenced by her memories of these hieroglyphs, and embellished with symbols from her dreams. “I hope [that viewers] get what I get from my work, which is enjoyment, visual satisfaction, and a story — whatever their own story is,” she said. “I can’t give them one, but I can tell my own, and the story they take with them is something personal.” Her early work was influenced by the experience of living and working at the bottom of the Grand Canyon National Park, where she had the opportunity to document Anasazi Indian pictographs in pen and ink drawings.
