Katherine Bradford's Influences on Rebecca Klementovich

Katherine Bradford is a widely recognized contemporary painter known for her exploration of themes like community, vulnerability, and motherhood through figures, especially swimmers and superheroes, in luminous color fields

 Rebecca Klementovich's body of work tends to focus on her use of color and ability to capture the essence of nature, and her nostalgic mountains and families skiing paintings were influenced by Bradford's work. Klementovich's Fashion Illustration degree from FIT in NYC and her years as a Fashion textile designer and Illustrator flows through her paintings.

An art historical comparison can be drawn, based on their shared affinity for vibrant, luminous color and a certain "nonacademic, creative freedom" in figuration. Both artists employ color  to evoke mood and atmosphere, often building up surfaces with a rich, tactile quality. Bradford is noted for her "radiant liquid fields" of color that imbue her figures with a sense of the transcendent, using variations in saturation to suggest vast spaces like the sea or sky. Klementovich is similarly praised for her "masterful use of color" and expressive, "vibrant" art. This shared commitment to color as a primary expressive tool, combined with a brave, unpolished approach to figuration, creates a compelling stylistic parallel between their respective practices, even if their narrative themes may differ in focus.

I Love Painting Triptychs

My new favorite paintings are these expansive triptychs.

A painting or artwork divided into three panels is called a triptych.Triptychs originated in the Middle Ages, often used in religious art (altarpieces) to tell stories or depict scenes.

Modern triptychs can feature a single image split across three canvases or three separate, yet related, images. This type of painting gives a larger feel to one particular painting with the same subject matter

Corporate Art for All of Us

Corporate modern art refers to the acquisition, commissioning, and display of modern and contemporary artworks by businesses and organizations in their workspaces and public areas. It goes beyond mere decoration, serving various strategic purposes for the company. what is great about Corporate art is that everyday people get to enjoy art when they walk into the lobby. Possibly people who are too busy to go to a museum.

Reflecting Corporate Identity and Values: The choice of artwork can communicate a company's culture, values (e.g., innovation, tradition, creativity), and brand personality.

Supporting the Arts and Local Communities: Investing in art, especially works by emerging or local artists, can demonstrate a company's commitment to the cultural landscape. What a wondeful way to support your local artists!

Fragonard Pink and New England Landscapes

In contemporary art, pink can be used in a variety of ways to express different emotions and ideas. Some New England painters are incorporating pink into their work to convey a sense of nostalgia, femininity, or even irony, depending on the context. Pink has been quoted as, “ a color of love with an attitude,” is gaining social popularity. Look for more pink moving into our New England palette and look for the symbolism of pink in art too!

Probably the most famous use of pink art history is Fragonard, his unusual use of pink and the tone of the pink he is known for has lasted through time..

Jean-Honoré Fragonard was a French Rococo painter known for his elegant and playful style, often using soft, pastel colors like pink. His most famous painting, "The Swing," features a young woman in a flowing pink dress enjoying a ride on a swing, surrounded by a lush, idyllic landscape. The pink in this painting, and in many of Fragonard's works, symbolizes youth, innocence, and the carefree spirit of the Rococo era.
