Exploring the purity of the feminine form and the drama of French haute couture, artist Cindy Shaoul creates a dialogue between the figurative and the abstract. Her spirited compositions are both dramatic and invigorating, capturing the fleeting moment of innocence swept up in bold color and seemingly controlled movement. She demonstrates a whimsical expression of femininity and formality; a stunning display of understated grandeur. It is as if the shape's only purpose is to hold the magnificent colors. Painted oil and gold leaf on canvas, signed and dated verso. Art measures 48 x 36 inches Frame measures 49.5 x 37.5 inches Inspired by whimsey and purity of the feminine form, Cindy Shaoul is known for her impressionistic and abstract style. She is best known for her series of Brides, Dripping Dots and Hearts, as well as her Plein air street scenes of quintessential New York spots. Shaoul’s works can be found in permanent collections of 100’s of Corporate and Private Collections around the world. Since her first solo show at the Parsons School of Design in 2009, her work has been showcased internationally in Busan South Korea and has shown at Art Fairs in Miami, Palm Beach, Dallas, and New York. She has had numerous Solo exhibitions and this year has garnered the attention of Actress Lily J. Collins and the like. Her love of painting began at the age of 18 when she was on Thanksgiving break from college. She painted a 9 foot colorful, abstract Mural in her Mothers' art studio and never stopped after that. She later traveled to Hungary and Budapest, picking up inspiration and studying abroad for 2 years, which has connected lifelong experiences that would influence her art today. Upon returning to New York City, she would continue her artistic education at the Art Students League, where she worked under the tutelage of Joseph Peller, Gregg Kreutz, and Tom Torak. She learned techniques from the great masters of impressionism, but it wasn’t until she met renowned street artist Angel Ortiz who previously worked with Keith Haring, that her work would strongly become influenced by 1980s hip-hop and graffiti, propelling her reputation and pushing her into the city’s explosive urban art scene. The collection they worked on was an homage to New York’s streets, where Ortiz began when he first met Haring. This style of creation heavily impacted Shaoul’s technique, expanding her voice of discovery and moving her hand of impressionism not only to traditional subjects of New York City street scenes but to boundary-free expressions in the abstract world. While Shaoul honed her skill at the Students League, in her studio the “Dripping Dots” began a whole new aesthetic. Started from the leftover paint on her pallet, she would clean the paint with her brushes onto a new canvas, not to waste the leftover oils, and soon, the motion of cleaning turned into dots on the canvas. She began connecting the dots with linseed oil and this is how the motif was imprinted. It would become a freeing moment of painting in an abstract way after going to school and learning the impressionist technique. The experience of discovery with color and emotional brushwork became very cathartic, and felt familiar from the times she would collaborate with Ortiz. Shaoul would continue to explore new themes in her work. In 2018 she began the “Brides” series which balances her love for impressionism with an abstract hand. While exploring the purity of the feminine form and the drama of French haute couture, she would create a dialogue between the figurative and the abstract. The Brides would give a new meaning of expression to her practice, and allowed nuances to emerge, demonstrating a whimsical expression of femininity and formality adding a stunning display of understated grandeur to her work. Artist Statement: "With the Brides series, I aim to create exotic forms with expressive and highly textural brushstrokes that are full of intense color, loosely inspired by artists of the French Impressionist movement such as Renoir, Degas, and Mary Cassatt. All impressionists whose works blend traditional academic art with the radical movements that went on to dominate the art world in the 20th century. I try to capture impressions of “The Ballerinas” which are found in many of Degas works where he has captured movement like never before. With the music I listen to, my brush lands on the canvas with immediate rhythm and style. I want the Bride to have a dazzling explosion of variable life to symbolize the future that lies ahead for her. The surprise of the rhythm is what excites me while creating these pieces, and I aspire to bridge what I’ve learned in school with my passion for exuberant abstraction and depth of color into the essence of her figure and spirit." PROVENANCE: Lilac Gallery Collection. This original artwork includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the Gallery.

Listing is for UNFRAMED print. Inquire within for framing. Edition of 1 of 25 If the exhibition piece is sold or the customer orders a different print size, the photograph is produced upon purchase. Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph This exhibition is a visual dance of contradictions. Whimsical and sophisticated. Stylistic and simple. Studied and carefree. That’s what emerges when you take a photojournalist by study, fashion photographer by trade and fine artist by instinct and leave him alone with his camera and a muse. Burris’ work is influenced by his early career spent working with fashion photographer Bill King and inspired by the decisive moment made known by the Henri Cartier Bresson. He defies the confines of either discipline. It is not fashion photography, which is by nature produced, but rather purely spontaneous. Todd left the world of fashion photography after building his own career in Milan and New York to go to LA and find his niche. He embraced his fascination with flea markets and penchant for discarded items that wouldn’t ever be chosen because they were trendy but because they were interesting. Burris packed his 1979 white Pontiac station wagon with his finds. When he came upon a stage that fit the props, he called on his muses and created a visual story on the spur of a moment. The collection of black and white images conveys a sense of effervescence and Élan. It includes photographs from Burris' time in Los Angeles as well as earlier experimental work in Milan and New York City. Anything but superficial, the invitational image, "Paget #1" challenges the traditional symmetry of beauty. We see a dramatic close up of a woman’s face, her intense eyes framed by the stark contrast between her porcelain skin and jet black hair. The lighting is such that her face is divided by shadow, one half dark and mysterious, the other half light and classically beautiful. The effect is deeply engaging. The viewer doesn’t know when the photo was taken but you want to know more. In “Mercer Street. NYC” we are taken back to the darker days of soho in 1992. A woman is shot from behind, walking down the gravel filled street in a long white flowing cloak, There is a patina of glamour set in the grit of real life. This sense of asymmetry threads throughout the exhibit. Some of the prints have a purposefully grainy and soft contrast, reminiscent of a newspaper photo. Burris manipulates the film during developing to create an “un-reproduced” effect. The heavy use of toned black and white and selective focus the photographs have a distinctive grainy texture that is reminiscent of a newspaper print.

Embroidered lace appliques flutter throughout the A-line shape of Style 2291 Everly. The delicately scalloped cathedral length train’s lace extends past the satin in a perfect way. Sumptuous ribbons overlap, creating a lace-up corset back. The result is a gown that is softly seductive and utterly feminine.

This set of three porcelain swallows have a metallic gold finish and will add rich, dramatic and whimsical style to your wall art. They are made from high-fired ceramic with a gold metallic coloured finish.They are perfect for kitchens and bathrooms because they don't mind a little steam, but they'll look equally cool in living spaces. My favourite place for them is in the bedroom, because they are a flighty, dreamy focus as you fall asleep. They're easy to arrange in any way that suits your space, and so they're great for tricky spaces and hallways. I designed these to be simplified silhouette shapes reminiscent of swallow tattoos. They have a subtle texture of imprinted feathers in the surface, and each one is cut by hand, so no two are identical and you can be sure that your set is unique. Each measures between 4 and 6 inches (10 - 15 cm ), so the set takes up a space approx 13 x 13 inches when arranged as pictured, but of course this could be larger or smaller depending on your arrangement. Each one is really easy to hang from a single nail in your wall, and if you'd like to change the angle then you can easily do so by using a little wall putty or blu tack. In the unlikely event that you have difficulty hanging these to your liking, please get in touch with me and I can talk you through it! This listing is for three in metallic gold and they will be as the ones pictured in the main image. Other colours and groups in this listing are to illustrate alternative options.
