Betsy Podlach
'Roses' by Betsy Podlach - Red and Pink Flowers - Still-Life Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Betsy Podlach's 'Roses' is a vibrant expressionist still-life painting that encapsulates the ephemeral beauty of flowers. The artist employs a bold, impasto technique, where thick applications of paint create a textured surface that adds depth and movement. The bouquet, a medley of roses, blooms vividly in shades of pink, red, and soft white against a muted background. This contrast highlights the flowers, making them seem as though they're illuminated from within. The spontaneous brushwork and the lively palette evoke a sense of joy and admiration for natural beauty. There's an intimate, tender quality to this work as if the artist is sharing a cherished, fleeting moment with the viewer. 'Roses' is not just a visual feast; it's an ode to the simple yet profound pleasure of gazing upon a vase of freshly cut flowers. About the Artist: Betsy Podlach is a figurative painter deeply rooted in tradition, yet her approach is refreshingly modern. Drawing on the principles of abstract expressionism, Podlach seeks to create space and light on the canvas using color, lines, and forms that evoke a magical synthesis of the physical and the spiritual. Her work reflects the influences of both Italian Venetian masters and American abstract expressionists, with the likes of Titian and Jackson Pollock being her most notable mentors. She has studied with key figures from the New York school of the 1950s and has also spent significant time painting in Italy and Paris. Podlach’s work is not just an expression of form but a deeper communication of human experience, aiming to convey emotions, force, and movement without the use of words. She embraces life's complexities and seeks to reflect them in her work, making her creations a vivid embodiment of her love for life and art. Some of Betsy's paintings were printed on apparel at Marni's 2019 Milan Fashion Show. THE NEW YORK TIMES: "IN BETSY’S SENSUAL PORTRAITS, IS AN UNDERCURRENT OF LOVE. In all the works, the soul of the narrative rests in the models’ eyes — often closed — and in their lips, painted in the embellishment of feminine beauty and emblematic of profound, not carnal, desire." The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal. Keywords: Betsy Podlach, flowers, roses, still-life, painting, beauty, vase, textured, pink, red, white, pleasure
