Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green Abstract Contemporary Landscape Painting

21st Century

About the Item

Red, blue, yellow, and green abstract impressionist landscape painting by Houston, TX artist Marthann Masterson. The piece depicts a dark landscape of a plane with warm-toned skies. Signed by the artist at the bottom right. Unframed but framing options are available. Artist Biography: Marthann Masterson uses her exploration and transcendence–whether she is creating a representational piece or an abstract dialogue of light, color, and space. The artist says her path has been guided by fate. Her creative expression first came in the form of culinary arts. She built a successful career catering to dignitaries, royalty, and even rock stars. But it was when she was asked to run the cafe in the Museum of Fine Arts Houston that her attention was drawn to fine art. Marthann Masterson received formal instruction in painting at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Later she was mentored by artist Alfredo Scaroina who introduced abstract techniques to her. In addition, she has attended many workshops including studying under Audrey Phillips and twice painting in a workshop in San Miguel de Allende. Today, Masterson, a third-generation Houstonian, can be found in her studio at the Silos in Sawyer Yards where she has painted for many years. She counts Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock as her influences–and strives to obtain a visual harmony similar to theirs–derived from the juxtaposition of precision and randomness. Both artists have inspired her to explore vibrancy and freedom in her work. Masterson’s paintings have been recognized for their passion, precision, and elegance. Recent exhibitions include a group, juried show at the Woman’s New York Caucus of the Art and solo exhibits with Octavia Art Gallery New Orleans and the Winter Street Studio Gallery, both in Houston. Her piece, “On the Outside” inspired a ballet by the Sarasota Ballet in Florida. The painting won an international competition sponsored by the nonprofit organization Embracing Our Differences and was seen by over 40,000 people. Masterson explains that, for her, art is a visual language, meant to awaken interest and inspire an audience. She uses art to share her emotions, sometimes hidden deep beneath the surface, and hopes others will find inspiration in her work.
