Joseph Maresca
Technicolor Sunset: Impressionist Painting of Mountains & Barge on Hudson River

2021

About the Item

Impressionist style landscape painting of a blue barge on the Hudson River with the Catskill Mountains in the background "Technicolor Sunset and Barge on the Hudson", painted in 2021 by Joseph Maresca oil on wood panel 13 x 13 inches with a light wood frame Excellent condition and ready to hang Joseph Maresca has a view of the Hudson River from his studio window. He often finds himself staring out the window at barges and sailboats that float north and south along the currents. Inspired by this setting, the artist created a series of boat and small landscape paintings. He works on a small surface and builds up lots of texture with layers of thick oil paint in bright jewel tones. Flashes of vibrant color light up the sky; his dramatic and unabashed use of color is akin to the saturated skies we often witness at dusk in the Hudson Valley. He loves the process of painting and the development of a tactile surface that counterbalances the idea of space, while keeping the tension between idea and flat space on the edge. Minimal in form, and sundrenched in color, this painting is fitted with a custom blonde wood floater frame. Born in Brooklyn in 1946, Joseph Maresca earned an industrial design degree at Pratt Institute and a master's degree in art education from New York University. He has experience teaching at the college level and has shown paintings in galleries and various museums across the country. He is included in numerous public and private collections amongst them Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CT, New Acquisitions, Katonah Museum, The Industrial Muse, and he has included in various publications, The Tool As Art , published by The National Gallery in Washington, DC (Traveling show). Currently Maresca is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY and Michelle Rosenfeld Gallery in New York City.

  • The Sailor is a 11 x 8" oil Cuban-American Water Impressionism
    By Reynier Llanes
    Located in Houston, TX
    REDUCED FROM $3000 The Sailor is a 11 x 8" oil painting by Cuban-American artist Reynier Llanes who lives in Miami. It is framed. It is oil painted on a wood panel . The Sailor floats in the frame. The background of Reynier Llanes is unique in style , subject matter, and medium. The artist says this about Field of Flight The characters in my paintings emerge from stories and their journeys are inspired by my own experiences and daily routines. My inspiration comes from literature, music, cinema, and daily life. My daily routine enables me to meditate and use my creativity to serve these stories and inspirations. I begin my mornings with sketches and watercolors. This is the time I use to keep inventory of my ideas and to allow them to further inspire me. Many of these characters have been depicted in my work before, whether in a different geographical location or in a different state of their physical evolution. I use a variety of mediums in my work including oils, watercolors, coffee, and charcoal. They are all equally important to me as they allow me full expression, each in its’ own sector. I use a great deal of symbolism in my art to give depth to the subjects that I wish to express. I want my art to tell a story in a manner that stimulates the imaginations of others, especially of things never seen or expressed directly. As an observer it is clear to see that we are all in pursuit of life’s mission of working, loving, and belonging. I begin my paintings by building layers of textures and color values, and then subtly add dimension and depth. Through the use of colors and highlighting I am able to enhance the atmosphere with mood, character, depth and mystery, and bring special attention to my subjects. It is the creative process of using these materials and methods that feed my soul, life, and being. I believe it is our mission as intellectuals to have a voice in our society, for our work to have a footprint in history, and to be a reference for future generations. BIO: Reynier Llanes was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba in 1985. He attended the city’s school of art (Instructores de Arte) for four years and completed his studies in 2004. Llanes was tutored by one of the country’s most recognized realist artists, Juan Miguel Suárez. In 2005 he moved to Havana where he continued his studies and collaborated with various artists. The capital was a thriving mecca of art and culture and the museums the grounds for inspiration. In 2007 LIanes availed himself of an opportunity to emigrate from Cuba and moved to the United States, first settling in Naples, FL. In Naples he began to introduce his work in a major exhibition entitled “Strange Visitor” at the Kapo Maestro Gallery. In 2009 he relocated to Charleston, SC where he had the honor of being granted an artist in residency at the Jonathan Green Studios. Llanes was awarded a "first purchase award" for a piece now in the art collection of the city of Charleston 2011 at Moja Art Festival Juried Exhibition Award. In 2012 Oxford America recognized him as one of the "New Superstars of Southern Art." The art of Reynier was nourished by the rich southern culture and he began to collaborate with various museums and art centers. His work was featured in a traveling exhibition The Vibrant Vision Collection at the Morris Museum in Augusta, GA and the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, SC. Llanes is also an avid art collector in his own right, focusing on works by artists from Cuba, and particularly those from his native province of Pinar del Río. A selection of works from his collection was exhibited at City Gallery in Charleston in 2013 and in the Art Museum in Myrtle Beach in 2015. In 2015 Llanes relocated with his family to Miami in order to take advantage of the city’s international art market and vibrant cultural life and to be closer to his home country. South Florida is, of course, home to a large community of intellectuals, collectors, and fellow artists who have welcomed Llanes into their cosmopolitan scene. His first solo exhibition in Miami took place at Miami Dade College West, this exhibition was entitled “Preserving Cultural Heritage” and it featured a large collection of coffee paintings. In 2017 he met Bill Meek...
