About the Item

ANOTHER DAY is an original limited edition woodcut and screen print by the American painter and sculptor, Otto Neals. The woodblock used to print ANOTHER DAY was hand-carved by Otto Neals and printed in shades of brown, light blue, beige, and black on archival Rives BFK printmaking paper, 100% acid-free, enhanced with hand-colored accents. ANOTHER DAY is a dramatic, contemporary black couple portrait portraying a man and woman standing back to back, the woman's arm raised up and pointing in front of her. She wears a stark white, bell-sleeved dress and large teardrop shaped dangle earrings and bangle bracelet, set against a dramatic natural wood grain patterned background, a large potted plant positioned on the table in the foreground. The man dressed in a warm brown colored suit, wearing white shirt and necktie, his dignified male profile looks straight ahead to the left of the composition adding visual interest and mystery. Print size - 25 x 20 inches, unframed, mint condition, pencil signed by Otto Neals Image size - 19.75 x 15.75 Edition size - 100 Otto Neals(b.1931) is an American painter and sculptor originally from South Carolina. Before he was five years old, his family left the South and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where he still resides. All of Mr. Neals’ schooling was in Brooklyn, where he studied commercial art at George Westinghouse Vocational High School. Neals describes himself as a self-taught artist although he studied briefly at the Brooklyn Museum Art School with Isaac Soyer and printmaking at the Bob Blackburn Printmaking Workshop with Krishna Reddy, Mohammed Khalil, and Roberto DeLomanica. He was introduced to stone carving by sculptor Vivian Schuyler Key, who presented him with his first set of stone carving tools. The Prospect Park Alliance and Ezra Jack Keats Foundation commissioned him in 1995 to create a bronze sculpture entitled “Peter and Willie”, based on the works of author and illustrator Keats. For this work, which is located in the “Imagination Playground” in Prospect Park, Mr. Neals was presented with the New York City Arts Commission’s “Award for Excellence in Design”.

About his art, Neals said, “My talent as an artist comes directly from my ancestors. I am merely a receiver, an instrument for receiving some of the energies that permeate our entire universe and I give thanks for having been chosen to absorb those artistic forces.”
