Mixed Media Painting by Steven Colucci
About the Item
Steven Colucci’s iconoclastic approach to performance and the visual arts
have not only long blurred the boundaries between these disciplines, but have
challenged its most basic assumptions. The title of this show references a
most rudimentary dance move --the plié --and our assumptions of what to
expect in relation to this. Also the suggestion that we can simply press a
button and a preconceived outcome will be courteously delivered --a form of
prefabricated belief in itself. Steven Colucci’s artwork turns such basic
assumptions on their heads. Finding early inspiration in the New York school
of abstract expressionists such as Jackson Pollock with his action painting,
and then further by his professor --a then young Vito Acconci while studying
at the School of Visual Arts, Steven Colucci went from exploring the raw
existentialist experimentation of New York’s early painting and performance
scenes, to investigating the other end of the spectrum --the rigorously
measured and controlled disciplines of pantomime and ballet; studying in
Paris under the tutelage of world-famous Marcelle Marceau, and engaging
with the concepts of dramatic movement pioneer and intellectual Etienne
Decroux. Colucci has explained the difference between the extremes of
pantomime and dance as being that pantomime forces movement via an
internal capacity --movement directed inward to the core of one’s self --a
source requiring extreme mental and physical control. Dance by contrast is
an external expression; likewise requiring great precision, although instead
an extension of self or sentiment that projects outwardly. While such
historical ‘movement’ disciplines serve as foundation blocks for Steven’s
artistic explorations, it is the realm in between that he is best known for his
contributions --an experimental movement and performance art that
simultaneously honors, yet defiantly refutes tradition; rejecting a
compartmentalization regarding art and movement, yet incorporating its
elements into his own brand of experimental pastiche. Colucci’s performance
works manifest as eerily candy-coated and familiar, yet incorporate
unexpected jags of the uncanny throughout, exploiting a sort of coulrophobia
in the viewer; an exploration of a cumulative artifice that binds human
nature against its darker tendencies; highlighting traditions of artifice itself -
the fabricated systemologies that necessitate compartmentalization in the
first place.
It is evident in Steven Colucci’s paintings that he has established a uniquely
distinctive pictorial vocabulary; a strong allusion to --or moreso an extension
of --his performance works. Colucci’s paintings depict a sort of kinetic
spectrum, or as he refers to them “a technical expression of physicality and
movement”. Whereas the French performance and visual artist Yves Klein
used the human body as a “paint brush” to demarcate his paintings and
thereby signify a residue of performance, Colucci’s utilization of nonsensical
numbers and number sequences taken from dance scores, as well as heat-
induced image abstraction depicting traces of movement likewise inform his
vocabulary. In the strand of the choreographed, yet incorporating moments of
chance, Colucci’s paintings represent an over arching structure; a rhythm of
being and state, yet detail erratic moments --moments that denote a certain
frailty --the edge of human stamina. Colucci’s paintings dually represent a
form of gestural abstraction --and also the reverse of this --a unique
anthropomorphization of varying states of movement – that sometimes
present as a temperature induced color field, at others are juxtapositions of
movement and depictions of physical gestural images themselves. Colucci’s
use of vernacular and found materials such as cardboard evoke his mastery of
set design, and also reference a sort of collective experience of urbanity and
the ephemeral. Such contradictions seem to permeate not only Steven
Colucci’s artwork, but also are reflected in his person – one who grew up in
New York’s Bronx during a zeitgeist moment in visual and performing arts in
the 1960s – one who shifts with ease from happenings and experiments in
New York City, to his meticulously choreographed megaproductions at
Lincoln Center or starring in the Paris ballet, to his elaborately constructed
paintings. Colucciis an artist that transcends both performance and the
picture plane.

My eyes on you -Mixed Media Painting by Steven Colucci
By Jackson Pollock
Located in New York City, NY
Steven Colucci is a perfectionist. As a painter, he describes himself as “a dictator, a controlling ballet master with a stick,” dispassionately choreographing his composition to achieve the exact result he desires. The paintings of the “Sea Series,” largely completed in 2010, are actually the culmination of 4-5 years of practice for the artist, during which he consistently developed and refined the language and formal elements that visually distinguish the series, sometimes repeating the same image for months until he was satisfied.
Colucci’s methods and philosophy reflect his experience with movement as a performing art. While he studied with and admires Vito Acconci, Colucci is no proponent of conceptualism, finding his voice in the intense discipline of traditional forms, explaining, “If you don’t practice art like a classical pianist, every day, you can’t execute your concepts.” After completing his studies at New York’s School of Visual Arts, he moved to Paris, where he studied and performed mime and ballet, working closely with Marcel Marceau, who also painted, and Etienne Decroux, a sculptor as well as the originator of the form “classical mime,” which has roots in the sculpture of Rodin.
If the word “sea” in the title of a painting conjures for you images of little easels and landscape canvases featuring sandy beaches, waves, and vast horizons, think again – Colucci’s oceanic visions are experiential, viewing them you are often looking down at the sea, within it, or even dreaming of the ocean. Water, deep or shallow, still or fast-moving, rules how we see light and subjects, as the artist works to reflect what he calls “the spirit, the soul of the water.” In “Deep Blue,” he conjures this anima via a window through levels of roiling currents of rich dark waves and dancing highlights, inviting the viewer to experience the sea as a vibrant and enveloping sensual entity.
Colors, too, differ from the subdued palette of the seaside afternoon painter. Often his choices originate in what Colucci describes as the rhythm of color present in Afro-Carribean art and design. In the paintings, these hues express the water’s likeness to the seamless flow of the Dominican culture’s music and dance, which he so enjoys during frequent visits to Upper Manhattan’s El Barrio district, a movement with the melodic line that he so simply and perfectly employs in the delightfully sexy “Swimming with the Fish.”
As our bodies, like the sea, are largely water, Colucci’s water visions...

Richard Texier Mixed Media Painting
By Richard Texier
Located in New York, NY
Fantastic mixed media painting by Contemporary French Artist Richard Texier. A combination of watercolor, ink and collage on paper this work was is called Marges. Signed upper right corner and dated. This painting was once part of GE's corporate art collection. Colors may vary slightly. Image size is 13 inches high by 8.50 inches wide.
Today Texier is regarded as one of the best living artists of his generation. He began painting at a young age and his keen interest in the history of astronomy is largely inspired by the creation of his own personnel cosmography. Known for both his paintings and sculptures he has installations throughout the world. His works are to be found in numerous important public and private collections, both in France and abroad. Many major museums around the world have exhibited his work including the National Museum of Taiwan, the National Museum of Luxembourg, the Marine Museum in Paris, the Botanical Museum of Brussels, the House of Culture Moscow and the Shanghai museum of Fine Art.
He has also graced the covers of Decorating Magazines especially in France.
HIs current contemporary large scale paintings retail between $28,000 and $64,000 both at auction houses like Christie's and Artcurial as well as galleries. His sculptures have even higher price points including two that reached $404,00 and $915,00. In addition he has also worked with Daum creating unique glass sculptures.
Since November 6, 2015, his red bronze sculpture: Angel Bear, more than 7 meters in height which portrays a bear with wings, is placed on the Gare du Nord square in Paris. It evokes the downward spiral of polar bears due to global warming, one of his favorite themes.
