The Splender of Autumn Colors By Vitello

New fall colors arriving by Arthur Vitello. Here's a sneak preview of the works coming to the Westport River Gallery, Fairfield County. His originals have been described as the quintessence of traditional art with a contemporary flair. The sincerity and simplicity of his compositions are brought to life by the exquisite texture he is able to achieve by overlapping many layers of paint. He draws viewers via the work's simplicity, and intrigues them by the texture. His texture is created by initially using  acrylic, and then using multiple layers of oil. Arthur is able to create color fields so rich in texture as to make the viewer feel engulfed in his work as a part of the piece. Other works.

Cerealism on Display Featuring Michael Albert

Pop artist Michael Albert has been making art since his college days at NYU, where he studied business. He became interested in art after visiting museums in NY and began his own artistic pursuits. After 7 years of drawing, he began an exploration of collage. His first collages were inspired by the need to use materials he had no other practical use for, including old labels & the leftover stickers. Soon he began to use the extra photos he had accumulated to create ‘cubist-type’ collage portraits of family & friends. One day, due to his reluctance to throw away a Frosted Flakes cereal box, Albert created his first ‘Modern Pop Artwork‘, a collage he titled, ‘Portrait of an American Classic’. This led to a series of these ‘Pop Cubist’ portraits of famous brands, including a collection of over 500 original Cereal box collages alone. Albert describes the Cereal Box collages, see example at left, which he calls ‘Cerealism’, as “a cross between Picasso’s Cubism and Warhol’s Pop."  All original art is handmade without the use of computers.

Jean Pierre Dubord Reflects French Love & Life

Jean Pierre Dubord has his own original approach to painting. His palette is rich in its tones, and is fresh, uplifting and sometimes makes you smile. Jean Pierre Dubord is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards. Dubord’s canvases reveal his own intense joy of life and his love of the rhythms of nature is distinguished by a nuanced use of color. The artist’s mastery of his secrets of imprisoning light on canvas and the very delicate poetic strain in his painting may be traced to the impressionist masters, but it bears a very personal touch as well. Several new originals are available by the master artist. His work is available at the Westport River Gallery in Connecticut. Click for new pictures.

Adventures on the Islands & Bryant Park

New works from Brian Sage have arrived, and reflect his professional journey into impressionistic depth. His works are more vibrant, deeper, stronger, colorful, and reflect his self-imposed exile in an effort to get better. His two new works are 24x30, and the subjects include island boating adventure and Bryant Park in New York City. Sage works hard to master the light, reflections and even flow of every picture he tackles. He's a perfectionist with an approach that might include hundreds of pictures before he approaches his canvas. His work is sparked by the images he sees, and even the impressions he gleans from what he feels. He is represented in the region exclusively by the Westport River Gallery.

Dominique Dorie's Lush French Countryside

That special wall may just be right for one of the largest paintings on display the Westport River Gallery. The picture by Dominique Dorie is 58x45 and features a lush landscape. Though Paris is the center of art in France, working there can lead to many distractions. At the age of 24 Dominique Dorié needed surroundings with greater calm and quiet, so he moved to a small village on the edge of the sea in Normandy where he worked to improve his handling of both light and color. The artist who hung his work on the fences surrounding the church of St. Germain des Pres has traveled a long distance. In 1985 he exhibited his work in the Salon de Criel and in the Salon d'Orly. He was awarded the Prix du Salon in the latter exhibition. In 1984 and 1985 he exhibited in the prestigious Salon d'Automne. In 1986 he won the Medaille d'Or at an exhibition in Deauville. He has since become one of the most highly regarded painters of his time and is listed in the prestigious Benezit Encyclopedia, 2000 Edition, on page 687. Click for other pictures available.

Canadian Expressionist Reflects Protest & Liberty

Several original oils are now available at the Westport River Gallery by Canadian Exressionist Madaleine Bechard. She was born in Saint Pascal de Kamouraska, Canada where she began painting at an early age. Madeleine was initially inspired by her desire to capture her magnificent environment but it was not until later in life that she decided to devout all of her energy to a career in the arts. As Madeleine experienced life, her artistic inspiration constantly changed. Today she has developed a sophisticated style and feels that her recent work has enabled her to freely express her emotions. Madeleine is best known for her modern but polished groupings of women. Madeleine’s images convey a strong message with simple gestural forms and wonderfully blended backgrounds. She superimposes colorful stains, restraining shadows and lights and adding a touch of texture to create elegant forms. Her figures, although nameless, faceless and voiceless assert a quiet protest and a new found sense of liberty. Although the natural features gradually fade out to give rise to highly stylized figures with no specific identity, the strength of these women is apparent because they stand in united groups.

Everyday Life With a Fanciful Twist by Jan Balet

Jan Balet was born in Bremen, Germany in 1913. After receiving an education, Ballet settled in America in 1938. Jan Balet’s works are cited in articles and books worldwide.

Westport River Gallery in Westport, Connecticut has several signed lithographs by Jan Balet. Each is 20x24 and among only 300 created in the 1980s. Click for more works available. Notes: Works available within days.

Lelia Pissarro in Camille's Footsteps

Claude Pissaro and grand-daughter of Paulémile. As a child she lived in Normandy with her grandparents and was taught to draw and paint by her grandfather Paulemile Pissarro, and at the age of 5 she sold her first canvas to NY art dealer Wally Findlay.

Real Men Want Real Art for the Holidays

Guys really don't want slippers, fruitcake, and most things they get (and later regift). So what do they want? After years in the gallery, we have found many men do like art with a lot of blue, and artists such as Kerfily, Zider (see oil at left) and Bulan are often the most attractive to them. Here is one picture that just came in from Zider called the Whaling Hunt, which is a commanding 22x44 (frame makes it larger of course). Call first, and we can put together a collection of art that may appeal to men. (and of course we can do the same for women!)

He also created costume & fashion designs for many of the era’s most renowned screen actresses, including Joan Crawford, Lillian Gish, Marion Davies, Anna Pavlova, Norma Shearer.

The Fauvist Colors of Jean Claude Tron

French artist Jean Claude Tron is passionate about the southern region of France, Provence, which remains his source of inspiration (this is also true of many artists, including Elisabeth Estivalet). The extravagance of the colors he uses betrays the influence of Fauvist Expressionism, with brilliant yellow, deep blues, strong reds, shades of violet and vivid green. His canvases are characterized by simplicity of form which represents the natural order of the countryside, while the thickly applied blocks of color make the fields vibrate with light. Here is one picture available at the Westport River Gallery.

An avid equestrian since the age of five, she was consumed with the effort of capturing and portraying the spirit of this magnificent animal. Now, years later, having obtained a formal education in fine art with training in draftsmanship and painting, this passionate interpreter of exaggerated realism has let her talent and imagination flow into bronze.
