Josette Urso
Piano, Coral Pink, Orange Circle, Sage Green, White, Navy Blue Abstract Patterns

2021

About the Item

This colorful abstract painting is composed of carefully combined sections of various textures and areas of pattern, circles, dots and undulations, in exuberant, cheerful color. Little moments in shades of pink, orange, coral, sage green, navy blue, yellow ochre and white, happening within the layers of oil paint make the work especially rewarding. Signed and titled on verso. Josette Urso makes paintings working directly and urgently in response to her immediate environment. Her approach involves moment-to-moment extrapolation governed by intuitive leaps of scale, color and wayward geometry. Contrasts and cross-fertilizations unfold and are cumulative, nonlinear, free-flowing and interpretive. Space becomes an ambiguous and malleable substance; its manipulation and acrobatic mark-making become a kind of gymnasium of expertly-placed color and shape. “For me, painting parallels the act of seeing and is the most direct link to private time with the physical world. Despite the urgency of my process, as I work, time still slows down. My work becomes a record of this exploration and a reflection of my inherent energy and reason for living.” - Josette Urso, 2017 The artist is the recipient of grants from The Adolph and Ester Gottlieb Foundation and The Pollack-Krasner Foundation, The Basil H. Alkazzi Award, USA and has been honored with residencies at Yaddo, UCross Foundation, and The Millay Colony for the Arts in the United States, as well as residencies in Spain, Germany, Ireland, Cambodia and Taiwan. Urso’s artwork has been acquired by numerous museums and private collections worldwide, including The Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY, Tampa Museum of Art, Tampa, FL, Stadtmuseum, Schwandorf, Germany and Springfield Museum of Art, Springfield, OH, to name a few. She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

  • Hot Air, Horizontal Pink, Yellow Abstract Mountain Landscape Hot Air Balloons
    By Shane McAdams
    Located in Kent, CT
    In this horizontal landscape painting on panel, a sense of wonderment and whimsy is conveyed in McAdams' blending of fantasy and realism. The artist's unique ballpoint ink process creates striations of bright pink, blue, and yellow in vertical stripes across the background. Hot air balloons float through a colorful striped sky, while layers of resin suggest depth within the surface. A vast mountain range is depicted in oil along the bottom of the composition. Signed, dated and titled on verso. McAdams’ work is about landscape in the broadest sense. The artist grew up in the desert southwest...
