2023
About the Item
An Oil painting of boats in a marina. Above, the suns rays pierce through the clouds.
American realist painter Carl Bretzke is particularly adept at nocturne scenes which ooze in darkness, reminiscent of Edward Hopper. Bretzke remarks: “What most people don’t notice is, as the light drops off, the color of light changes. You must see WHERE the color changes and where the light is coming from.” In "Division Street at Night," Bretzke illustrates several light sources. The brightest being a pair of oncoming headlights—two glaring white orbs which cast luminous beams up to the dark sky and reflect against the road. This stream of white light allows the viewer to see the rich blue within the blackened night sky. Streetlamps adorn the perimeter of the road which radiate spheres in a burnt yellow-orange hue. An ornamented flowerpot adorns a triangular isle of grass, backlit by another pair of headlights, and a bright storefront window.
Bretzke’s work exudes a cinematic quality that evokes a more positive and connected iteration of Edward Hopper’s deep dive into the American experience.
