Book excerpt: Here, for the first time, is a collection of the artist Clare Rojas' abstract paintings, completed between 2012 and 2015. Known for her association with a generation of San Francisco artists that became internationally prominent through the exhibition "Beautiful Losers," much of Rojas' earlier work drew from various Russian and Eastern European folkloric subjects. While the figures have been removed from this newer body of work, it is not hard to see their lasting impact on Rojas' practice; these paintings are equally evocative of folk art, sign painting and the formalist reductions of artists like Alexander Calder, Matisse or Ellsworth Kelly. Accompanying these works is an essay by the curator and writer Jens Hoffmann.Clare Rojas (b. 1976) lives and works in San Francisco. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Everyone Has Those Spaces at Kavi Gupta, Chicago; Carved, Cast, Crumpled: Sculpture All Ways at the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago; Caerulea at Paule Anglim in San Francisco, Clare Rojas at Vladmir Restoin Roitfeld in New York; Clare Rojas at Galleri Nicolai Wallner in Copenhagen, and Pith at Prism in Los Angeles. Solo museum shows include the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco; Riverside Art Museum, CA; The Rose Art Museum, Boston; Museo De Arte Comtemporaneo De Castilla y Leon; Museum Het Domein, Sittard; Ulrich Museum of Art, Wichita; Knoxville Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.

Download or read book Landscape Painting written by Mitchell Albala and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
