About the Item

Dina Brodsky is a contemporary realist painter. Known for her miniaturist style, her highly detailed depictions of urban interiors, natural environments, and unsuspecting human and animal subjects are evocative of renaissance portraiture and landscape. Brodsky often paints on small circular surfaces, forcing viewers to move closer to the work. She was drawn to miniature painting from her study of Islamic miniature art and medieval illuminated manuscripts, whose techniques she combined with those of classical painting. She is amongst a group of contemporary realist painters, such as Timothy Barr and Hollis Dunlap. Born in 1981 in Minsk, Belarus, she moved to the United States at the age of 10, and received her BFA at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2006. Dina has had solo exhibitions in London, New York, Massachussetts, and Florida. She has taught in several institutions, including the Castle Hill Center for the Arts, the Long Island Academy of Fine Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

  • The Blue Elephant. Mid-Century Gouache on Handmade Paper.
    Located in Cotignac, FR
    Mid-century gouache on handmade paper of a blue elephant in landscape by French artist Valeriane, signed to the bottom left and dated to the bottom right above a star of David. A charming rendition of a blue elephant in wonderfully rich and playful colours. Striking a jaunty pose with front leg raised and placed against a forest backdrop. Modern in style this painting is reminiscent of American modernism with hints of pop art and the intense colour fields of Andy Warhol. Typically in the modern style there is a lack of perspective and forms appear to be flatly superimposed, even outlined at times to highlight this effect. In addition the colour palette is intense with primary blue...
