Figure Painting

 

 



Jenna Gribbon


Such a gift for composition 
She must 
 see the world as painting non- stop

Jenna Gribbon

And so much joy in her youthful body
(Presumably a self portrait)

Jacob Collins

What a projection of personality 
of a person you would like to know.

Collins speaks about the lack of institutional patronage 
for  "authentic American painting" on Youtube
to which i dared append a comment.



Henry Taylor,  72 x 96, 2016
The times they ain’t changing fast enough

Most of his paintings aren’t this good.
Presumably, this subject moved him.


Iian Faulkner, Leaving Venice, 2020

The elegant woman and the expensive luggage make a fine duet
on the canals of Venice

Alex Kanevsky

A bit more about the  painting than the woman.
I guess she’s singing in the tub




Alex Krause, 2012,  20 x 28

Depicting an aesthetic response to a painting,
and I feel just like her as I look at this one.
So right in so many ways.


Nina Chaney Abney, Hobson’s Choice, 2017, 84 x 120

As confusing, disturbing, and pointless as street violence can be.
Full of sound and fury and signifying nothing.


Larry Francis, 24 x 48, By the River

American scene painting still going strong.
Feels like a Dvorak symphony. 
Love the central blue stripe with the yellow square  in the middle.
A nice pairing with a very different kind of American scene shown above it.
