Gerdine Duijsens
Black Tie - Large Original Spirited and Evocative Figurative Artwork on Canvas

2014

About the Item

Gerdine Duijsens’ spirited and evocative figures are instantly recognizable and unforgettable. Through lush, bold colors and energetic marks, her paintings emit a sense of pleasure and contentment. Their candid nature brings delight into the rooms in which they hang. Enjoyment is at the heart of her figurative artworks, and the people she creates are always savoring the moment. We can’t help but be charmed by their lust for life. This large one-of-a-kind 63 inch high by 40 inch wide vertical artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. Duijsen's painting includes wonderful textures created with an intriguing balance of bold, colorful brush strokes and thin black lines, adding a distinct character to the people and their surroundings. She captures the essence of each figure through her abstract treatment of the artwork. The sides of this unique artwork are painted black. It does not require framing. Gerdine signs her paintings on the bottom in black, blending the signature with her captivating brushwork. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by Los Angeles art gallery Artspace Warehouse is included. Gerdine Duijsens was born in Utrecht, Netherlands, and studied at the Art Academy and the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgium. The work of Gerdine Duijsens is a synthesis between figurative and abstract art. In their unguarded moments, Gerdine displays her characters with slight derision as their vulnerable and insecure selves, when in their seemingly unobserved moments they briefly try to escape from a world in which status, knowledge, protocols, and power keep them prisoner. Her people are "bon-vivants," somewhat blasé, comical, cheerful, and bored. The partying, dining, happy single, and Botox paintings have become Gerdine's trademarks and have generated a steadily growing club of collectors internationally. We recognize the people on the canvasses, they're our families, they're our friends, they're us. They move us and make us laugh. We love them and want to have them with us. We want them with us because they make us happy.

  • "Entangled" Abstract painting 47" x 31.5" inch by Maged Mikhail
    By Maged Mekhail
    Located in Culver City, CA
    "Entangled" Abstract painting 47" x 31.5" inch by Maged Mikhail ARTIST BIO: Maged Mikhail was born in the Upper Egyptian city of Sohag in 1982. He studied at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo, to graduate in 2004 with a major in Monumental Sculpture. His apprenticeship with the renowned Artist, Adam Henein, for nearly six years after graduation, was a cornerstone in his artistic development. He then received the Ministry of Culture’s full production sponsorship in the period between 2008 and 2011. During that time, he worked with different materials, sculpting in plaster, bronze, and stone, as well as producing ink drawings on paper. To this day, he works with all these mediums. Mikhail’s work focuses on ancient civilizations and collective heritage and seeks to understand their connection with everyday contemporary life. This direction began to take shape in his work starting in 2013. By 2016 he had developed an approach to Ancient Egyptian art and found his way of transforming it into abstract and contemporary sculpture. His current influences are two main elements: Architecture (Ancient Egyptian, Coptic, and Islamic) and Hieroglyphic symbols. The influence of architecture can be seen in the clean, geometric lines of his compositions and also in his approach with monumental pieces of public art. The Hieroglyphics are integrated into Mikhail’s work as abstracted sculptural interpretations. A sculpture then becomes a word to be both reads and viewed as an image. 2004 Bachelor of Fine Arts, Cairo, Egypt 2005-2010 Studied Sculpture under Egyptian Artist Adam Henein 2008 -2011 Egyptian Ministry of Culture Scholarship Exhibitions 2020 Solo exhibition, Karim Francis Gallery...
