Gloriane Harris Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

American, b. 1947
Gloriane Harris was born in 1947 in Santa Monica, California. She says that "the light of the ocean and the beach in Southern California is like nothing anywhere else", and is the greatest influence on her painting. Gloriane Harris earned her MFA from Otis Art Institute, mentored by, among other notables, Charles White, who is a major influence to countless Los Angeles artists. She worked with Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman on the first artists' worldwide satellite broadcast at Documenta 6 in Kassel, Germany in 1977. Harris has exhibited at museums and galleries across the U.S. and Europe, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Venice Institute of Contemporary Art, the Newport Art Museum, the Museum of Art and History, the Los Angeles Design Center, Ellie Blankfort, Santa Monica College Art Gallery, Mt. San Antonio College Art Gallery, Foundations Gallery in NYC, the Palais de Beaux Arts in Belgium, and the Fahle Gallery in Estonia. She has been curated into shows by Juri Koll, Peter Frank, John Lees and others, appeared in publications such as Art in America. She is part of the collections of Mrs. Otis Chandler, Vicky & Horace Baker, ViCA and many others. In the late 1980's, Harris withdrew from the art scene and stopped attending openings while continuing to paint daily. From the beginning of her career, Harris has taught countless artists at Otis Art Institute, El Camino College, Cerritos College, among several other institutions, exhibiting there yearly, and has now re-emerged with ViCA.

Title: Mid Century French Abstract Tree Expressionist Ink Painting Medium: Black ink and wash on paper, unframed French, circa 1950's Size: 23.75 inches x 15.75 (height x width) Condition: The work is structurally sound though with visible creasing, surface rippling and age related toning throughout the sheet. There is a horizontal fold line across the centre and light edge wear consistent with storage. The ink remains bold and stable. This would benefit from professional flattening and framing. Provenance: from a large collection in Paris Description: A striking mid-century French abstract expressionist ink painting on paper, executed in bold black gestural marks with a strong sense of movement and rhythm. The composition reads as a lively field of calligraphic brushwork, with sweeping strokes, broken textures, and clustered forms that suggest foliage, energy, or a landscape fragment without becoming literal. The confident use of black against the raw paper creates a dramatic, graphic impact, making this an ideal piece for modern interiors, particularly for collectors drawn to monochrome abstraction, post-war European modernism, and expressive works on paper. In this particularly powerful example, the abstract gestures resolve into a sculptural tree form. A thick, sweeping trunk rises from the lower edge of the sheet, curving upward into branching limbs that extend dramatically across the upper half of the composition. The bold, loaded brushstrokes create dense black passages, contrasted with dry-brushed edges that reveal the speed and physicality of execution. The central mass gives the composition weight and presence, while the upward branching creates a sense of growth and vitality. The organic structure is rendered through expressive, economical mark making, aligning closely with the spirit of post-war French Art Informel and modernist landscape abstraction. This fabulous mid century original French expressionist abstract tree painting...
