Tom Irizarry Studio
Brooklyn Blaze 1986

2024

About the Item

Back in the day, the glorious 1980's was a time of unequaled freedom, that we once took for granted. This picture captures the sky ablaze of a hot summer day - sunset over Downtown Brooklyn painted in genuine natural vermillion and mineral orange. Detail images show my palette made from a variety of historic and natural mineral pigments. The carnelian ring photo is a good example of the beauty of minerals, though carnelian is not used as a pigment, it's properties are similar to mineral pigments. The colors and content capture the passion of the 80's in NYC, a time of flourishing new music and art and a great time to be in NY. The buildings in these paintings are specific and few. This was the Downtown Brooklyn skyscape of the 1980's. It was my view for over 30 years, until the development and towers came. Brooklyn Blaze 1986 captures the changes that were to come and memorializes this scene in a painting. It holds a special place in my heart. oil on canvas, 20 x 30 x 1.5 inches, 2024.

"Iva" Oil Painting 39" x 39" inch by Andrey Remnev
Located in Culver City, CA
"Iva" Oil Painting 39" x 39" inch by Andrey Remnev ARTIST BIO: "My birth place is Yakhroma town, in the vicinity of Moscow. It is situated on high hills, from where broad Bruegelian vistas are open. The uneven terrain with significant differences of high and low; a canal between the Moskva river and the Volga; small rivers, woods and villages; a nearby ancient town of Dmitrov, which is equal to Moscow in age; ships cruising the canal and trains outdistancing them – all this I saw from my window since my early years. It was a view that embraced all the diversity of the world. This is why I can say that the impressions of my childhood and youth – beautiful nature and remarkable people – are the most important ones. In the museum of Moscow's St. Andronic Monastery I copied the best examples of the old Russian painting...
