Richard BritellThe Memory of So Beautiful A Day (Red Abstracted Landscape Oil Painting)
About the Item
70 x 40 x 1.5 inches
vertical, monochromatic red landscape oil painting on canvas
This large vertical rusty red and orange monochromatic landscape oil painting imparts feelings of romance and nostalgia while being definitively modern in color and composition. In the foreground, tall trees with their delicate foliage pepper the bright orange sky. In the background, a valley plunges into the horizon line. Mr. Britell's dreamy landscapes are dominated by a single color; their monochromatic hues of deep red, orange and yellow reflect off of loose brush strokes and gentle handling of the paint, a departure from this artist's typical hard edge realist painting technique. The edges of the work are painted so framing is not necessary.
About the Artist: Richard Britell, a career painter, studied at Pratt Institute with Philip Pearlstein and Walter Erlebacher. His first show in NYC at Staempfli Gallery was sold out, and reviewed in the New York Times. Britell’s new works revolve around large, dreamy cityscapes tending toward abstraction. The artist currently lives in Pittsfield, MA.
Richard Britell is represented by Gallery based in Hudson, NY.
