Derrick Greaves Paintings

British, b. 1927

Derrick Greaves is one of the most eminent British painters of the last half century. Greaves initially gained acclaim in the 1950s, when he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale along with the other Kitchen-Sink painters with whom he was associated with John Bratby, Edward Middleditch and Jack Smith. His work has developed from the social realism of the 1950s to a more heraldic style that paralleled 1960s Pop Art, from an imagery based on nature and observable fact to more studio-bound imaginative constructs.

Dreamer (Contemporary, Abstract Painting in Earth Toned Brown Palette)
By Christopher Engel
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract painting on curved canvas in warm, orange and yellow palette oil on canvas on unique artist made stretcher 36 x 74 inches This curved canvas was painted by abstract artist Christopher Engel in 2006. The abstract expressionist style painting contains dramatic splashes of canary and golden yellows, crimson, and coral against a dark umber background. A sturdy wire spanning the back of the painting provides for instant, professional-quality hanging. Christopher Engel is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY. Artist Statement: The Fan Shaped Paintings evolved from the process of mixing paint in paper coffee cups. As I noticed the intriguing arrangement and patterns of color and shapes in the mixing cups I began to set the cups aside to save those images. Years later, I began unfolding the stacks of cups I had saved to see the images and patterns of color. I was also attracted to the fan-like shape of the opened cups. The spontaneous nature of the color and shapes on my palette of “coffee cups” became the genesis of the creation of the Fan Paintings.
