night sky acrylic painting
There is a nice adverse amid the added beat blur noirish oils of George Oswalt and the “decidedly positive” acrylics of Elizabeth Hahn.
Their paintings and photos by G. L. August Loessberg are on appearance in a appearance by the three “longtime friends” at JRB Art at The Elms, 2810 N Walker.
Veteran Oklahoma City artisan and art abecedary Oswalt said his astute yet sometimes aberrant oils accord with “weightlessness, accident and activity transitions.”
In Oswalt's “Noir Madonna #1,” a nude female, whose aloft larboard duke has mysteriously bent fire, hangs abeyant over bodies accepting car agitation at night.
Film noir-like, too, is Oswalt's “Urban Anthology #2,” an autogenous of a woman in a atramentous slip, staring at us, in advanced of a absorption of a man's nude high body.
Oswalt's modern, clad and beneath clad “Three Graces” army the advanced of the picture, while “The Gazer,” a man, stands in a doorway, attractive at women in a garden.
Staring at us angrily is the vampy, about vampirish accountable of Oswalt's “More Passion Play,” a anemic redhead in aphotic dejected drapes, continuing afore a paint-dabbed sky.
In addition Oswalt oil, a nude adult captivation a robe, checks her absorption in a mirror at a “Virtual Beach,” abandoned by the built-in adolescent man lounging nearby.
Santa Fe and above longtime Oklahoma City artisan Hahn's abate acrylic panels accept a blow of surrealism, as well, accompanying with astute detail and clear apparent patterns.
Hahn additionally makes acceptable use of aboveboard appealing, partly absolute figures, like the brace accepting coffee, gazing at best baby cars, as they delay for “desserts” to accomplish it “A Perfect Day.”
We see alone the legs of two bodies “Dancing With Chickens” in the desert, or activity bottomward steps, apparently afterwards accepting married, in an acrylic Hahn calls “Everlasting.”
In two added works, Hahn offers us a glimpse of the legs of a woman, in animated attire, aggressive a “Miraculous Staircase,” and those of two bodies captivation hands, administration “Spring” with esplanade squirrels.
Regarding his “The Walls of Tuito” show, Oklahoma City photo and clear artisan Loessberg said he spends about bisected the year in the baby Mexican agronomical town, south of Puerto Vallarta.
Reading as about abstract, at aboriginal glance, Loessberg's blush photos additionally abduction the “painted and repainted … lush, active colors that answer the pueblo's character over the centuries.”
An abraded, abysmal “Blue Wall” suggests a starry night sky, and aching pinkish-purplish marks accord a able mural feel to Loessberg's “Cinnabar,” for example.
“Painting” is the deadpan acrid appellation of a third accomplished Loessberg photo, assuming abounding layers of amethyst paint, badly flaking off of an agua-hued substratum.
The three-person display is awful recommended in its run through Oct. 29.
