2019

About the Item

Abstract landscape painting of a white cloud in a light blue sky over an expansive dark brown country field "West Wind," painted by David Konigsberg in 2019 18 x 24 x 2 inches Ready to hang, sides are painted white so framing is not necessary Wire backing for installation Artist signature, verso This modern landscape painting of a gesturally painted country field under a light blue colored sky was painted by Hudson, NY based artist, David Konigsberg. Here the artist uses the classic Hudson Valley landscape as a backdrop for a lofty cumulus cloud that blankets an expansive dark brown painted field. Paint is applied in smooth gestural layers, creating a soft and atmospheric effect. The oil painting is completed on wood panel and has sturdy wire on the back for easy installation. About the artist and work: David Konigsberg shares a renewed reverence for his surroundings in the Hudson Valley, where he has made his home for the past four years. Known for a conceptual realism that has, in the past, used landscape as a backdrop—and everything from angels to fantastical flying machines as characters and metaphors—with this series the artist moves the backdrop forward, in paintings that are more frankly personal and quietly revealing. An avid hiker, Konigsberg draws from long walks in farm country and frequent climbs among the peaks of the nearby Catskills and Taconics. Still, while his references are specific to the region, these paintings transcend location to enter a realm that is tranquil, deeply spiritual and universal. Beyond subject matter, the magic of the work can be found in Konigsberg’s handling of paint, in both the gestural brushwork that propels his characters and the use of layers to create illusions—for example, of haze or morning mist in an environment filled with atmospheric drama. David Konigsberg is a conceptual realist who works across media and painting genres to portray transitional spaces, metaphoric moments and alternative histories. A long-time member of the Gowanus and Red Hook artist communities in Brooklyn, he is now based in Hudson and employs the area's landscapes as the setting and sometimes subject of his work. The artist’s work has been exhibited throughout out the United States and has been featured in The New York Times, Chronogram and Brooklyn Journal and numerous art and culture blogs. David Konigsberg lives and works in Hudson, New York.
