Rebecca Russo
Dali - Painting on Canvas

About the Item

Homage portrait painting of Salvador Dali on canvas. About the artist: Russo approaches her subject as if she was traveling through them and on them, just barely touching their skin, understanding the unique qualities and gesture of the figure and face. This allows the us to not only see her process but connect and relate.  A bit curious and uncomfortable and yet we feel a sense of safety in her haphazard marks.  Each mark is controlled and yet, we feel a sense of freedom and abandonment. Sometimes it’s the darkness of a nostril or the odd shape of a bottom lip just hanging, just dangling, just melting.  Long fingers crawling up a face about to eat it alive. An echo beyond the surface of a face, within a lip, within an ear, within the eyes; like a flower, as it slowly begins to die it slowly comes to life. The ones that live long after they have died, shriveled, and dried; persevering. ‘I only draw what I see” said Claude Monet, and Russo does exactly that. The more she looks the more she sees and the more she's willing to let go. Rebecca has BFA.

The Silence
Located in New York, NY
Oil Portrait. The Silence is from the ingmar Bergman movie of the same title and the painting features Ingrid Thulin and Gunnel Lindblom. About the Artist: John Francis Gallagher is a Boston-based contemporary artist. Born in Drogheda, Ireland in the Boyne Valley, he emigrated to the United States at 19. John worked in graphic design, advertising and architectural rendering before turning his hand, full-time, to painting. A self-taught figurative artist, his work has a vintage style that is influenced by the so-called pulp artists of the 20th century. In his large-scale canvases, tone is given precedent to create realism. Working within a limited palette of tones, The paint is woven under, over, and into itself in layers to create a portrait that is seemingly simple but satisfyingly complex. The work has a strong quiet energy that creates space for itself in a frenetic, busy world by being the exact opposite. Often drawn from 1960s European Cinema...
