David Dew Bruner
Portrait III (Fauvist, Modigliani Inspired Abstract Portrait in Antique Frame)

2023

About the Item

Fauvist-style, Modigliani inspired, abstract portrait of a man in a dark brown antique wood frame with linen inlay "Portrait III" by Hudson Valley based artist, David Dew Bruner 20 x 16 inches, 27.5 x 23.5 inches framed signed on verso The frame exhibits some wear consistent with age, which is an intentional decision made by the artist. David Dew Bruner's most recent series of Fauvist-style portraits are subtly expressive, light hearted, and contemplative. Bruner applies an array of media to the canvas in thick and gestural marks that give dimension to the portrait. The model's elongated face, undoubtedly an ode to the paintings of Modigliani, is set against a light backdrop which further accentuates the artist's use of bold form and color. Lush and colorfully rendered in cool tones of blue and green, Bruner's portrait is well complemented by the dark wood of a vintage frame. Altogether, this item seamlessly joins the modernism of Bruner's painting with the more classical affect of a vintage frame.
