Landscape: abstract black, white, green and grey American West landscape

1989

About the Item

Dramatic, large scale black, white, green and grey Western American landscape with river, grassy banks, trees, and rolling clouds filling the sky. Hang in minimalist, modern, and contemporary living spaces. Paper 35 x 52 in. / 90 x 133 cm. Monotype on heavyweight off-white paper. Signed by the artist and dated 1989 lower right in pencil. Annotated "G" verso upper left. This large-scale landscape pictures a flowing river flanked by grassy banks. A small path runs parallel to the river, and behind it, a rocky bluff topped by shrubs and trees. Dramatic clouds sweep across the top of the composition, meeting the landscape along a faraway, flat horizon. The translucency of the ink is showcased by the artist's loose, painterly brush strokes and gestural highlights, which create rich layers of texture. Born in 1955 in Detroit Michigan, Michele Zalopany is a contemporary American artist best known for her large-scale watercolor and pastel paintings based on photographs found in digital picture collections, old books, and flea markets, etc. Found photographs and film screen shots that had originally served other purposes -- family snapshots, police photos, real estate, travel documentation -- when rendered, directly from the image, with traditional art materials, take on additional meanings, such as socio-psychological-political content. She exhibited in the 1989 Whitney Biennial and her work is included in more than 25 institutions including the Museum of Fine Art, Boston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Yokohama Museum, Japan; Royal College of Art, London.
