About the Item
Original ink, gouache and oil pastel figure painting by celebrated, twentieth-century California landscape painter, Ronald Shap. Sketch of nude woman standing in washes of neon pink, orange and blue. 23x18 inches on paper. Signed.
This piece is a part of Shap's Inkblot series from the 1980s and holds its place in his broader Neo-Expressionist period. With the rising influence from graffiti style / street art, he brought his subjects down to earth by first sketching them in ink, and then painting over the drawings in gouache to allow the ink to intentionally bleed. The intense color and bleeding ink produced pieces that are violently emotional, and a reaction against his Minimalist work of the 1970s. We have several pieces from this series available in our store.
There appears to be some soiling on the left edge of the paper. Please review final photo. May be invisible if well-framed.
Ronald Shap was born in Toledo, OH and lived most of his life in California. The brother of acclaimed portrait artist Sylvia Shap, he was a scholarship award graduate at the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1964 and completed graduate study in painting at the University of Nebraska and Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles in 1967. He was a visiting artist and instructor at BGSU in 1973-74 and worked out of his Los Angeles studio and taught drawing and anatomy at Citrus College until his retirement in 2005.
