Gail Chase-Bien Figurative Paintings

American

Gail Chase-Bien has a way of creating boundless worlds within the edges of the canvas. Her nature-inspired abstract, landscape and figurative paintings blur the distinction between background and foreground, inviting the viewer’s imagination to structure the piece. She brings softness, subtlety and suggestion to the edgy world of contemporary art.

Chase-Bien was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1946. She attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, receiving a bachelor’s of fine art in 1977 and a master’s of fine art in 1980. She held her first solo exhibition at Highlight Gallery in Mendocino in 1985 and continued to show steadily throughout California during the rest of the ’80s and ’90s.

Chase-Bien’s collection of work is a tribute to nature and the play of light upon the colors of the landscape. At the same time, her paintings are a meditation upon the human spirit and an invitation for introspection. Each piece takes her anywhere from a few months to years to make using oil paints on linen.

Chase-Bien currently lives and works in Napa County. Her ethereal paintings are held in many private collections and are exhibited at galleries and museums across California and beyond.

We show these pictures to give you an idea of the size and sphere of the paintings. About the artist: Frank Dekkers, an outdoor painter, but not a "square painter" as we know him. His studio is located "everywhere", or at least outside where this artist is inspired by the landscape. A special way of summarizing leads in his paintings to a very strong and simplified image. These works invite you to walk into the landscape and to keep looking. A book has been published about Frank Dekkers, which is included when purchasing a painting...
