About the Item
"La Closerie" – Gérard Stricher
Medium: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 160 x 160 cm (63 x 63 in)
Condition: Excellent
Gérard Stricher’s La Closerie is a radiant composition that captures the boundless energy of nature through dynamic movement, rich texture, and an electrifying interplay of colors. This large-scale oil painting envelops the viewer in a world where land, sky, and water seem to merge in a dreamlike symphony of form and emotion. Thick impasto layers create an almost sculptural presence, lending the work a sense of depth and raw vitality.
The title, La Closerie, evokes the intimacy of a hidden garden, a sanctuary of flourishing life and organic harmony. Blues and purples expand across the canvas like a vast sky or reflective water, while bursts of crimson, orange, and yellow suggest blooming fields drenched in sunlight. Dripping strokes and fluid transitions between colors create a sensation of perpetual movement—an invitation to step into a realm where nature is untamed yet deeply poetic.
• Sculptural Paint Application: Stricher’s signature impasto technique makes the surface richly textured, transforming light and perspective as the viewer moves around the piece.
• A Vision of Nature Reimagined: While non-representational, the painting evokes a landscape alive with energy, where elements of land and sky coexist in a harmonious yet unpredictable dialogue.
• A Statement in Scale and Emotion: At 160 x 160 cm, the canvas offers a fully immersive experience, allowing the viewer to engage with its complexity and shifting hues over time.
Stricher’s work is often likened to the emotional intensity of Turner’s landscapes and the raw expressiveness of the CoBrA movement. He channels a deep connection to nature, movement, and sensation, constructing compositions that exist between abstraction and subconscious memory.
La Closerie is in pristine condition, professionally stretched and ready to be displayed. Its dynamic presence makes it an ideal addition to any collection, offering a lasting and evolving dialogue between color, form, and emotion.

Gerard Stricher
Gérard Stricher, an abstract impressionist, uses oil paints as his medium to create vibrant landscapes and nature. His paintings take the viewer on a welcoming journey; soon absorbing one to an experience in his world. Drawing from a basis of COBRA, his style begins to take life as these resonances dim. Gérard's work "ignites in great impulses and curves, coming alive in a flood mastery of colors, with the assurance of the gesture generating forms according to an intense rhythm, breathing pauses appeased, a chromatic autonomy, and, little by little, emerges a subtle seduction. All this leaves footprints, consolidating then seizing the work with all the ardor of pictorial gesture."(Manfred Schneckenburger)

Three Sisters: large abstract expressionist figural painting & breast feeding
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
Please contact me for best shipping rates and speediest delivery.
Ellen Powell Tiberino, matriarch of the Tiberino artist dynasty that includes her artist-husband Joseph and three artist-children (Raphael, Gabriel, and Ellen), often looked to Black women and girls as subjects, in the contexts of motherhood, pregnancy, and childhood, as well as subjects drawn from her neighborhood communities. Her work is expressionistic and passionate with dramatic gestures and dark colorism in her figures, but it is also intimate and highly personal. At this point in her career, Tiberino had been struggling with cancer, and as a result, her palette became brighter and more colorful than her former dark palette.
"Three Sisters" includes Ellen Powell Tiberino’s self-portrait in the front of the composition, nursing an infant. Tiberino’s two sisters, Joyce and Anne, sit behind her. Tiberino likely paints from memory or imagination here, since her four children were well beyond nursing age when she created this painting. "Three Sisters" is likely among the last large-scale canvases Tiberino completed, opting to work on a smaller scale and while seated as her illness progressed. Tiberino ultimately lost her battle in 1992.
"Three Sisters" comes from a private Main Line, PA collection, acquired directly from the artist immediately upon its completion. Framed in original wood strip frame.
It is in excellent condition.
Tiberino graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1959, where she was awarded a prestigious Cresson scholarship to study in Europe. After returning to the US, she lived and worked in New York until she married fellow artist (Joseph) and returned to her hometown of Philadelphia where she continued to create oil paintings, oil pastels drawings, sculptures, murals, and mosaics. In Philadelphia, she was part of social and professional circles that included Moe Brooker, Barbara Bullock, Walter Edmonds, Charles Pridgen, Leroy Johnson, John Simpson, James Dupree...

September To Remember II Large Abstract Painting

Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
September To Remember II
Artist signed and titled.
Large bright and vibrant abstract expressionist.
Sergio was born in Cordoba, Argentina, in 1934. He studied at National School of Fine Arts, the National Academy, and the Superior School of Art in Buenos Aires. In the late 1950's he began to collaborate with a group of contemporary Argentinean artist interested in Op art. The group moved to Paris and Sergio was able to rejoin them with students support from the French government.
Aware of the creative differences amongst the group, in 1960, he moved To Munich where he received a grant from the German government to study etching in the House der Kunst. In 1962 he returned to Paris continuing to create paintings, etchings and woodblocks.
A lifetime of spiritual and cultural influences is reflected in Moyano's work, which in turn mirrors...
