David Konigsberg
Sprite and Anemone (Whimsical Oil Painting of Winged Create in Pink Flowers)

2022

About the Item

Sprite and Anemone (Contemporary Oil Painting of Whimsical Winged Creature Emerging from Pink Flowers) by David Konigsberg oil on panel 55 x 44 x 1.5 inches no frame required - painting is wired on reverse for easy installation This painting is an exquisite example of the artist's unique ability to capture the very whimsical side of nature. Widely known for painting expansive views of the Hudson Valley where the artist often embarks on extensive hiking trails, Konigsberg also takes to painting fairy creatures, often faceless, meandering across fields or surrounded by a flurry of flowers. These creatures are unassuming and quiet, the translucent quality of their wings is hardly perceivable, and their presence is always welcome. The fanciful treatment of the soft pink petals of the anemones in the background are beautifully lush and romantic. David Konigsberg’s paintings reveal the visceral realities of nature. The landscapes that serve as the subject in his most recent work suggest a narrative of reflection and distance with pared down horizon lines, mountain ranges and land masses. Konigsberg explains, “In this, the most isolating era of my life, one aspect has remained unaffected: my penchant for frequent, solitary wandering, whether in the region around me, in coastal New England, or the microenvironments I cultivate in my own backyard. The natural world has long been the backdrop and source of my narratives, and this present body of work is clearly no exception. My paintings derive from both memory and photographic record—and of course the tenor of the moment in a time of profound events and challenging moods.” David Konigsberg is a conceptual realist who works across media and painting genres to portray transitional spaces, metaphoric moments and alternative histories. A long-time member of the Gowanus and Red Hook artist communities in Brooklyn, he is now based in Hudson and employs the area's landscapes as the setting and sometimes subject of his work.

    By David Konigsberg
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Vase in the Window (Impressionist Floral Still Life of Magenta Pink Peony Flowers in a Vase Against an Off-White Window Scene) by David Konigsberg oil on panel 50 x 36 x 1.5 inches no frame required - painting is wired on reverse for easy installation Signed by the artist, verso This painting is an exquisite example of the artist's unique ability to capture the very whimsical side of nature. Widely known for painting expansive views of the Hudson Valley where the artist often embarks on extensive hiking trails, Konigsberg also takes to painting more intimate and commonplace household objects. A coffee pot, salt and pepper shaker, or as in this case, a simple bouquet of long stemmed pink peonies careening over the side of a green vase; his use of oil washes capture both fluidity and structure. The fanciful treatment of the flowers calls to mind French Impressionist Toulouse Latrec...
