Audrey Ushenko
Bourgeoiscape II : artwork in the genre of narrative realism

1991

About the Item

Painting by a contemporary artist Audrey Ushenko. Audrey Ushenko works in the genre of narrative realism. Her works are rich, complex figurative and still life paintings. They are stories of recurring human issues often prompted by a twisted reality. Ushenko’s earlier works where primarily mythological and allegorical. Her later works are focused on depicting human situations and interactions of people who are both living and dead. These paintings represent social situations, timeless stories and enduring issues that are rendered with a contemporary twist. Always a significant element in Ms. Ushenko’s work is her integration of Venetian Renaissance methods of paint application with Impressionist color and light theory. The combination of the old masters’ technique of glazing the canvas and carefully layered surfaces of paint enhance the luminosity of Ushenko’s work. Audrey Ushenko has exhibited her work extensively throughout the United States including several shows at Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC; the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, IN; The National Academy of Design, NYC; University Museum, Southeast Missouri State University, Cape Girardeau, MO among others. Ushenko is a professor at Indiana - Purdue University, Fort Wayne (IPFW), IN. She earned her M.A. and Ph.D. in Art History at Northwestern University, Evanston, IL after studying at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN and the Art Institute of Chicago, IL.

Table Top Debris II : Oil painting on canvas
Located in New York, NY
"Table Top Debris II" by Iona Fromboluti depicting flowers scattered on a table with a broken vase on the right. Fromboluti is a New York artist, whose works are often composed of unresolved narratives. The artist captures the decisive moment, a snapshot of the cresting action. The result, though abstract and intangible, leaves behind the residual poetry of a story you feel you know even if you don’t fully understand how it ends or begins. The dramatic impact of her work is heightened by a long horizontal support, inferring a monumental landscape...
