Sharon Sieben Mixed Media

American, b. 1934

Prolific contemporary painter Sharon Sieben regards her artistic process as a form of communication, with the viewer and as an inner dialogue with herself. She is known for her Abstract Expressionist paintings that use bold splashes of color and a loose, fluid technique.

Born in Indiana in 1934, Sieben enjoyed a creative childhood, painting and playing music. As an adult, her artistic proclivities were put aside when she focused on a career in manufacturing operations and raising a family.  

In later years, Sieben returned to her passion for art. She is largely self-taught, with her inspiration coming from her world travels, in which she learns from fellow artists’ workshops and through viewing the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cézanne.

When creating her abstract figurative paintings, nudes and landscapes, Sieben prefers working with oil paint but also incorporates other materials such as acrylics, gouache, charcoal and graphite. Recently, Sieben has explored watercolors, as demonstrated in her contemplative watercolor paintings Moment in the Sun and Depleted.

Sieben’s paintings have been exhibited throughout the United States in galleries and at venues including the New York Expo, the World Showcase of Arts in Las Vegas and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona.

She is currently based in Mesa, Arizona, where she continues to create vibrant and imaginative work.

Artist: Sharon Sieben
Respite, Original Painting
By Sharon Sieben
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
A face surfaces within the abstract expression of artist Sharon Sieben's striking contemporary portrait. Cold wax mixed with oil constitutes a compelling image of her model in a meditative state. Sharon reminds us that sometimes, especially after a busy day, a quiet moment is most welcomed. "The subject in this portrait would agree," says Sharon.


About the Artist
Sharon Sieben prefers working in a loose, fluid technique and finds inspiration in the most unexpected things. Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art. She especially admires the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne because of how they broke tradition. When she's not making art, she enjoys reading and playing classical guitar...

Located in Ibadan, Oyo
Shipping Procedure FREE Shipping Worldwide Ships in a well-protected tube. This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Fela’s Demonstration Of Craze: Nothing has changed since Nigerian Afrobeat music pioneer, Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, known professionally as Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or simply Fela, gave his own epic and hilarious breakdown of Democracy [1980]. As Nigerians all over the world remember and celebrate Democracy Day on June 12, yearly. Fela described Democracy as simply Demonstration of Craze. Looking at it critically, it makes all the sense that there is to be derived from the word. Nigerians have not only been crying from time immemorial, it is not a different scenario today as the same hands are still running the cabal. Nothing has changed, despite the ‘change’ mantrum.

Untitled
By Michael Goldberg
Located in Austin, TX
Waterline Fine Art, Austin, TX is pleased to present the following work: Oil, pastel, and paper collage on canvas. Signed and dated verso. 52.75 x 47.75 in. 54 x 49 in. (framed) Gilded floater frame. Provenance Compass Rose, Chicago Born Sylvan Irwin Goldberg in 1924 and raised in the Bronx, Michael Goldberg was an important figure in American Abstract Expressionism, who began taking art classes at the Art Students League in 1938. A gifted student, Goldberg finished high school at the age of 14 and enrolled in City College. He soon found New York’s jazz scene to be a more compelling environment, and he began skipping classes in favor of the Harlem jazz clubs near campus. Goldberg’s love of jazz would become a lifelong passion and a key component to his approach to composition in his paintings. From 1940 to 1942, like many of the leading artists of the New York School, Goldberg studied with Hans Hofmann. In 1943, he put his pursuit of painting on hold and enlisted in the U.S. Army. Serving in North Africa, Burma, and India, Goldberg received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star before being discharged in 1946. After his service, he traveled and worked in Venezuela before returning to the United States, settling back in New York and resuming studies with Hofmann and at the Art Students League. Living downtown and frequenting the Cedar Bar, Goldberg befriended many of the artists of the New York School. In 1951, his work was included in the groundbreaking Ninth Street Show, co-organized by Leo Castelli, Conrad Marca-Relli, and the Eighth Street Club, and featuring the work of - among others - Hofmann, Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline. In 1953, the Tibor de Nagy...
