About the Item

"Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London is a reconstruction of the an Elizabethan playhouse first built in 1599. I saw "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern" in a live theatre when I was a teen. The play was based on the characters from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" and in opening scene, they flip a coin over and over, always seeming to end up "Heads" and it went on for about five minutes of flipping the coin. What are the chances? I believe 50/50 regardless of statistics may predict. Anyway, back to Shakespeare whose words taught me that the English language has evolved over time, and being a history nerd, I love watching the ol' movies with ol' English in the mix and one of my favorites is "A Knight's Tale" in which Geoffrey Chaucer shows up as a scribe (the author of "The Canterbury Tales"). So to say that I love this building is not enough, which is why I paint it.
I’m sure Shakespeare never would’ve anticipated these colors. Randomly place colors. Something like a dream. Getting a straight line on these textured canvases is not easy. I don’t mind them a bit warbled or crooked, it just highlights the texture. My favorite part of this is the thatched roof." - Lisa Bisbee

Artist biography:
Lisa Bisbee is a contemporary cityscape artist based in New York City. In her ongoing series of over 50 oil paintings titled "Bright Lights Pink City," Bisbee captures snapshots of urban architecture within a dreamlike atmosphere. Her work portrays both ordinary moments of daily city life and iconic landmarks such as the Guggenheim, Brooklyn Bridge, and Washington Square Park. Navigating the concrete jungle is an exhilarating experience for her, teeming with anticipation at every street corner. She aims to encapsulate the magical sensation of seeing the city with fresh eyes, imbuing her artwork with the essence of this exciting perspective. Through her art, she invites viewers to embark on a journey that renews their connection to the vibrant spirit of NYC, sparking a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation for its enchanting allure.
Bisbee's NYC series of over 50 oil paintings depicts her adventures through the city, using vivid colors to showcase a vibrant metropolis. Influenced by her study of art history, particularly the Fauvism movement, she adopts the movement’s unique arrangement of colors—offbeat and unreal. She blends this concept with the exciting energy of New York City, aiming for the vibrancy to pop off the canvas much like how modern technology allows filters to alter photos and edit reality. Her palette includes neon pinks, fluorescent oranges, deep purples, bright yellows, and blues. Using Gapka oil paint from a small handmade artisan paint company, the colors achieve incredible saturation.
Each painting in Bisbee's series serves as a snapshot of her urban expeditions through the city. Inspired by her photographs, she translates the experience of being in New York into joyful, vibrant oil paintings. Her work illustrates urban architecture and city life, from typical moments at crosswalks to landmark destinations like the Guggenheim, Brooklyn Bridge, and Washington Square Park. She captures experiences like viewing the skyscrapers from the East River ferry or seeing NYC from a bird's-eye view at sunset, depicting these moments with a blend of excitement and anticipation.

“In my artistic pursuit, I find immense joy and gratitude by infusing moments with a touch of romance. Through carefully constructed scenes in my oil paintings, I have the power to transform reality into uplifting and inspiring depictions that pay homage to the inherent goodness found in people, places, and things. Regardless of whether I’m faced with gritty or overlooked settings, I dedicate myself to envisioning their metamorphosis into spaces filled with dignity, fun, frolic, happiness, and wonder. By offering fresh perspectives on familiar sights, I create vibrant and surreal renditions of the natural world that invigorate attitudes and foster a deep appreciation for our beautiful human existence. By employing a vivid color palette and whimsical lines that dance in rhythmic patterns across the canvas, I envision of a better world infusing life into my brushstrokes to vividly express the emotions stirred during my urban escapades in the heart of New York City.”-Lisa Bisbee

Artist Biography:
Born in 1954 in Perpignan, Denis Ribas draws inspiration from his Catalan heritage and a childhood infused with his father's passion for nature. Painting exclusively outdoors, Ribas uses pure linen canvas, manually nailed, stretched, and coated. The paint itself adheres to multi-centenary techniques, with supplies sourced from Bruno Charvin's workshop, Denis Ribas' preferred and exclusive supplier. Notably, a yellow hue in the palette has been christened "Jaune Ribas."
The thickly applied paint and the expansive color palette harmonize to create a captivating piece of contemporary art. Each painting is a single, uninterrupted creation, reflecting Ribas' commitment to never altering a finished piece—a testament to the spontaneity and authenticity of his artistic process.
