ABOUT THE PAINTINGS
Each original oil painting is created to archival standards using the
finest most light-fast oil colors on archival oil primed linen or
gessoed panels. Paintings will be shipped varnished, unframed or framed
where indicated.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
With a BFA in Drawing and Painting from Kutztown University,
Pennsylvania artist Barbara Kacicek has exhibited in numerous museum and
invitational exhibitions including 'Getting Real: 20th Century American
Realism from the Philip Desind Collection' and
'Contemporary Imaginings: the Howard A. and Judith Tullman Collection'.
Her award-winning work, embraced by distinguished collectors
throughout the United Stated and abroad, is featured in North Light
Books' 'How to
Discover Your Personal Painting Style' and 'Strokes of Genius'.
Barbara’s chief
influences are the Old and Modern Masters, the sky (clouds, stars, wind,
phases of the moon), the quality and color of shifting light, walking,
standing still, the poetry of singer-songwriters, day dreams, night
dreams, the human figure, fruit, water, her hands.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My small alla prima skies, landscapes and still-lifes are a reflection
of my quiet, contemplative existence. Usually bathed in the light of the
‘magic hour’, my painted subjects are imbued with a sense of mystery,
memory and poetry under thoughtful, careful observation. Surrounded by
beauty, my intent is to capture fleeting moments of shifting light over
clouds, over trees, over fruit, over drapery, over skin – each one a
unique, rapturous meditation on form, light and color, revealing the
unseen world through the seen world.
