About the Item

Enter the enchanting realm of "Western Light" by the gifted artist Kate Salenfield. This original abstract landscape painting, rendered in oil on canvas, is a testament to Salenfield's prowess in the realm of abstract expressionism. The canvas serves as a captivating portal to a world where nature's beauty is reimagined through a lens of emotion and abstraction. "Dreams" unfolds with a carefully curated color scheme, predominantly featuring lush greens and serene blues. The verdant hues seamlessly blend, creating an immersive atmosphere that captivates the viewer's senses. At the heart of this composition stands a line of beautiful birch trees, their golden round leaves casting a warm glow in the radiant Western Light. Salenfield's masterful interpretation of abstract expressionism transforms the birch trees into poetic forms, each stroke evoking a sense of movement and vitality. The gold round leaves, catching the shimmering light, add a touch of magic to the scene, creating a harmonious dance between nature's elements. The inclusion of a serene blue water element enhances the dreamlike quality of the painting, providing a tranquil foreground that complements the vibrant energy of the birch trees. The careful balance of green, blue, and gold in "Western Light" creates a visual symphony that resonates with both emotion and aesthetic grace. This exceptional painting is not only a visual delight but also a signed testament to Kate Salenfield's artistic vision, poised and ready to adorn the walls of discerning collectors. "Western Light" invites viewers to bask in the radiance of Salenfield's imagination, where the beauty of birch trees and the serenity of blue water converge in a timeless dance. For those eager to make "Western Light" a part of their collection, this captivating artwork is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online. Immerse yourself in the luminous world painted by Kate Salenfield, where the magic of nature is captured in a mesmerizing interplay of color and form. Artist biography: Surrounded by artistic inspiration from a very early age, Kate Salenfriend learned most of her technical skills from her great-grandfather, Stewart Robertson, the registered California portrait painter, who began teaching her while she was still just a toddler. Growing up in the agricultural San Joaquin Valley, Salenfriend developed a deep and lasting connection to the land around her, along with a sensitivity to the time of day, season, and atmosphere. The resulting alchemy from her experiences of the California landscape, her solid connection to the environment around her, and her own artistic point of view, gave rise to her first professional work, the now highly-collected series of Cypress trees, “Order from Chaos.” Completely at home in the Napa Valley, where art and nature abound, Salenfriend’s interpretation of the natural world is complementary to the natural beauty surrounding her. During a trip to Italy, Salenfriend found inspiration in the timeless beauty of the crumbling reliefs of Pompeii, which now inform the sculptural texture and layers of oil paint in each of her works. Salenfriend evokes the glimmering artworks of Austrian symbolist, Gustav Klimt, through the impeccable layers of gold, copper, and silver colored leafing she uses to create her stunning landscapes. The interaction between ambient light and the delicate metal leaf mimic nature’s transitional seasonality, the emotions that confront us when taking in these scenes, and a perpetual sense of motion and progression. Kate Salenfriend’s works have been exhibited widely throughout the Napa Valley, including the collections of Francis Ford Coppola Winery (formerly Chateau Souverain), Darioush, Skipstone Ranch, Bouchaine Vineyards, the Getty Family Trust, and can be found in the public and private corridors of Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA, as well as being widely collected throughout the United States.
