Hot Chimera - Red Leaves Magenta Pink Branches Botanical Tree White Mylar, 2015

2015

About the Item

Layers of foliage in vibrant, eye-catching shades of reddish orange with shadows of deep burgundy grace light pink branches on the pristine white background of this contemporary botanical painting in acrylic on Mylar mounted on acrylic panel. Framed in a solid white wooden float frame. Signed and titled on back of frame. Battenfield’s meditative painting process begins with the artist’s close attention to the graceful forms of unfolding leaves and blossoms, and to the twisted boughs and branches of trees. The artist painstakingly translates her photographic studies into drawings on large sheets of translucent Mylar, taking care to stay true to the original images. The artist makes hundreds of color studies before arriving at the palette for each painting. When applied to the Mylar, Battenfield’s ink-like pigments reassert themselves, separating and forming unexpected, distinctive abstract, transparent and opaque patterns. The finished painting on Mylar is mounted on a panel that allows light to play behind the pristine painted surface. Jackie Battenfield earned a BS from Pennsylvania State University, PA and an MFA in Visual Art from Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Award (1991) and the Warren Tanner Award (1996). Her work is represented in more than 1000 collections worldwide including the New York Public Library, NY, The Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, Brunswick, NJ, Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, NJ, Palmer Museum, Penn State University, University Park, PA, Museum of Art at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ and the United States Embassy Collections, Brazil, Cambodia, Croatia, Jamaica, and Peru. She currently lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

After French Tapestry, Embroidery Painting, Brick Red, Gold, Ivory, Cherubs
Located in Kent, CT
In this painted embroidery, an ornate french tapestry in brick red, gold and ivory with royal blue details on is carefully painted in colorful dots in acrylic and gouache on Duralar mounted on panel. Signed and dated on verso. Kirstin Lamb’s gridded, meticulously detailed paintings on transparent acetate are labor-intensive paintings of labor-intensive textiles and patterns. To create these embroidery paintings, Lamb starts by generating a digitized grid and painstakingly painting each individual gridded stitch by hand using acrylic and gouache on a wet media acetate. The process creates a one-to-one relationship of mark to stitch, the act of each brushstroke serving for the stitch of a needle. Lamb’s embroidery paintings draw patterns from French floral wallpaper of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, while others draw inspiration from vintage embroidery patterns...
