VIEW THIS SHOW AT: https://bit.ly/3QTdJIg

Caren Furbeyre focuses on the active and thoughtful process of painting. She takes the viewer on a captivating journey, immersing them in a vibrant and colorful garden. Through her skillful brushwork, Caren creates harmonious interactions between paint and color, revealing a transcendent dimension within the tangible world.

Her playful use of paint generates a sense of joy, as shapes and colors flow rhythmically on the canvas. A recurring theme in her work is the lightness of expression and the expansion of space. By employing sweeping brushstrokes and geometric shapes, she imbues the surface with personal sentiments that bring the artwork to life. She meticulously mixes colors to achieve the perfect transparency, density, and character. Diluted layers of paint infuse the canvas with a vibrancy akin to a flourishing garden.

Caren introduces polarities into her art through grids, colors, lines, and fields, playing with transparency and opacity. In her technique of “brushdrawing,” the process of painting adds various qualities such as roundness or flatness, thickness or thinness, ribbons or lines, spirals or flows to the surface. The vitality of the painting emerges through the fluid and graceful movement of the paint. Tensions and culminations give rise to a dynamic interplay, which is ultimately harmonized by the unifying forces of color and transparency. The end result is a captivating synthesis of color and transparency, seamlessly melding into a cohesive whole.

About Caren Furbeyre:

Caren Furbeyre is a renowned painter known for her powerful and evocative artworks. With a deep passion for the art of painting, Furbeyre immerses herself in the world of color, shape, and surface to create stunning visual experiences for viewers. Her works have been exhibited in prestigious galleries and institutions across the United States. Caren Furbeyre currently resides in Spokane, Washington.

On View Now: CLAY JOHNSON “The Atomic Paintings” – An Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition

Mark Moore Fine Art is very pleased to present an Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition of new work by artist CLAY JOHNSON. This series of ten new works – THE ATOMIC PAINTINGS – is being shown for the first time anywhere. This is also Johnson’s inaugural exhibition with this gallery.

VIEW THIS SHOW NOW AT: https://bit.ly/456DeLy

Clay Johnson was born in Durham, NC, where he later studied art and art history at Duke University, receiving a B.A. degree in 1985. He then worked for several years as assistant to painter Robert Natkin in Connecticut and New York City. He began showing paintings from his first series of mature work in 1998 and has since exhibited in galleries across the United States and in Europe. His work is represented in collections around the world. Clay began work on his Strata Series shortly after relocating to Wyoming, and, while non-objective in nature, the paintings convey a sense of the wide-open landscape of the American west.

Johnson currently lives and works in Laramie, Wyoming.

Johnson’s recent work – THE ATOMIC PAINTINGS – is inspired by the behavior of atoms and molecules, which cluster together to form something larger than themselves, and later break apart to become part of something new, then break apart again, and so on. The basic principles that dictate their behavior create endless drama and apply universally to entities both large and small.

“Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.”

— Democritus

It was in the 8th century BCE that the Indian scientist and philosopher Aruni proposed that “particles too small to be seen mass together into the substances and objects of experience.” His theory may well have inspired the ancient Greek philosophers commonly regarded as the founders of Atomism—Leucippus and Democritus. Democritus theorized that everything is composed of many tiny particles (atoms) that are too small to see, and which are in constant motion. The objects that humans perceive through their senses are merely random packings and scatterings of these atoms within the void.

In abstract painting, we trade the depiction or description of something specific for the chance to wrestle with the underlying truths that govern the behavior of entities at the most basic level, whether inanimate objects, celestial bodies, human beings, or “particles too small to be seen.”

These are the universal forces of attraction and repulsion, harmony and discord, gravity and levity, belonging and isolation…the list goes on. When working with such fundamental concepts, it seems fitting to use the most basic building blocks. Atoms in the void—the subject of a picture doesn’t get any simpler than that. Or maybe these are scenes from the other end of the scale spectrum—stars and planets in space. But it doesn’t matter. The same rules apply.

While the process of making these paintings is not random, it is improvisational. So “atoms” that belong to a given cluster in the early stages might, in the end, be part of a different configuration. And since the pictures are built by means of layering, elements that are at one time central characters often become members of the supporting cast, yielding their prominence to others that come later in the process.

ON VIEW NOW: Michael Batty “Tone Poems” Exclusive ARTSY Online Exhibition

SPECIAL ART EXHIBITION PREVIEW: @MarkMooreGallery pleased to introduce the newest work by Canadian painter Michael Batty titled Tone Poems in an exclusive ARTSY online exhibition. This show will include three new paintings and nine works on paper from this series.

The Tone Poems read like visual haikus, equal in their spatial parameters, but different in their effect. Batty, pulling from years of studying colour theory, is using that knowledge as a basis for making what are essentially intuitive paintings, not unlike a piece of improvisational music.

VIEW THIS SHOW NOW AT: https://bit.ly/3QQeYt6

Michael Batty has been an artist for over 35 years, primarily as a painter concerned with abstraction. He works in series, utilizing a visual approach for each series that best develops a concept focused on specific ideas and subjects of contemporary art.

His production over the past 25 years has culminated several key bodies of work: the Tone Poem Series, the Prop photographs, the Kinetic paintings and the Cut Line Abstractions.

“As well as colour and music, there is a relationship between colour and language within the painted Tone Poems, with blocks of solid colour organized on a page as a poem might be. These can be sympathetic or discordant experiences. Like poetry, visual art has a limited palette of words / colours, and the meaning and feeling of the works comes from the arrangement of the individual elements. It is the emotional effect of the individual blocks of colour (words) and their relation to each other (sentences) that makes the impact on both our conscious and sub–conscious mind and the serial nature of the overall work that brings out its poetry.” – Chris Keatley, Art Curator

Michael Batty graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver in 1989 with a major in painting. He attended the renowned artist workshops in Emma Lake, Saskatchewan, and studied printmaking at The Art Institute at Capilano College in Vancouver. Batty’s paintings can be found in collections around the world, including the Waldorf Astoria in Beijing, China, W Guangzhou, China, Four Seasons, Dubai, UAE, and Bank of Montreal in Calgary and Toronto.

Please note that all work is available subject to prior sale and prices are subject to change without notice. All taxes, tariffs, shipping and/or viewing expenses, if any, would be additional.
