About the Item

This contemporary abstract painting by Karin Olah, titled Chambray Surf 8, is a striking seascape collage created with acrylic and hand-dyed textiles on paper. Waves of indigo, cobalt, and chambray blues are layered with textured fabric pieces—including striped elements reminiscent of shirting—giving the piece a tactile, rhythmic quality. The composition features a dramatic sky over a distant headland and shimmering water, all framed in a soft, golden wood frame with a white mat. The painting (paper size approx. 10 x 8 inches, framed size 17 x 13 x 1.5 inches) is signed by the artist and ready to hang. Artist Statement: Fabric is something that evokes an emotional response. Soft materials can make us feel calm, relaxed, cozy, and safe. I use textiles in my paintings to suggest a connection between the beautiful places in nature and the comforting touch of a well-loved quilt. Inspiration for my subject matter comes from cloud watching at the beach, the stripes of ocean waves on the horizon, a patchwork of farm fields, the meandering thread of a creek through the marsh, and quiet time at the lake. My interpretations of landscapes focus on color and mood more than realism. In these dreamscapes, the brushstrokes are fabric. Bio: Karin Olah combines her background in fashion design, a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, and an ever-growing collection of textiles to create mixed-media works that celebrate texture, place, and memory. Originally from Lancaster County, PA, and now based in Charleston, SC, she has been featured in Southern Living, Charleston Magazine, and House & Garden. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections including Mayo Clinic Florida, JW Marriott, and the Medical University of South Carolina.

"Coastal Sky, " Contemporary Abstract Painting
By Teodora Guererra
Located in Westport, CT
This contemporary abstract painting by Teodora Guererra features a light, coastal palette of blue, light grey and off-white. The artist applies thick layers of oil paint in sweeping, horizontal gestures to create a thick, textured surface. The painting is made on gallery wrapped canvas and is wired and ready to hang. Signed by the artist on the back of the canvas. Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques. Her focus has always been pushing the limits through experimentation with new materials. “As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," the artist says of her work. "I'm a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and saturate color on large canvases. My most successful work looks as if it happened all at once. It sometimes takes 7 or more paintings to produce a successful one and then it's a beautiful thing." Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY, William & Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg...
