Mary Didoardo "Deep Dive" - Small Abstract Oil Painting on Wood Panel

2022

About the Item

Mary Didoardo Deep Dive, 2022 oil on wood panel 8 x 8 in. (dido093) This small abstract oil painting on wood by Mary Didoardo features her signature layering technique and looping lines in shades of maroon and white on a blue background. In her most recent body of work, Didoardo continues her exploration of dynamic line and color. Scrutiny of her paintings reveals the marks of facture and surfaces worked. She begins her paintings by adding layer upon layer of paint to wood panels. The surface is then covered in tape, upon which Didoardo draws her signature expressive lines. In contrast to the freedom of this gesture, she then painstakingly cuts along these markings with an exacto-knife, and applies yet another layer of paint to the revealed surface. Finally, she removes the remaining packaging tape, which causes flakes of paint to peel off and reveal hidden colors. This process of building and revealing is captured in layers of paint and looping, swirling compositions. The manic dance of line across the canvas is chaos made visible, reaching sudden resolution. In their gestural eloquence, the paintings are simultaneously serious and celebratory. Of her own work, Didoardo says: “There is a visceral connection between viewer and painter through the surface reading of a painting. All of my research is made visible in the sensuality of oil paint, it’s luminosity and chameleonic shifts of color. Sometimes through the cumulative experience it resolves with ease. Other times the tortured surface demonstrates the struggle.” Mary Didoardo has been featured in two solo shows at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts. She has also exhibited in group shows in the New York area, including at The Strohl Art Gallery at the Chautauqua Institution, White Columns, C.G.Jung Foundation and The Painting Center. She has been the recipient of the Enrico Donati Foundation Grant, was a resident at the Millay Colony, and she studied at Washington University and received her B.F.A from Pratt Institute.

Glow in the Dark, Abstract Oil Painting, 2021
By Usha Shukla
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: This painting is part of the series "Silver Linings". This series is inspired by my days in "Shelter in Place" during the pandemic. Silver Linings, in situations otherwise dull and depressing, gave me emotional and physical balance. The limited color palette emphasizes the value of using limited resources to fill our lives with colors.

Hellebore, Abstract Oil Painting, 2020
By Usha Shukla
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: I create abstract paintings that distill the light, the intense colors, and the constant movement in nature. The final visual is pure, ethereal, and cosmic with no physical references. With a thought-out color palette and my unique process, I start on a journey of creation. It is always a balance of letting go and being in control. My head, heart, and hand become one and something pure and personal happens. Vapor-like shapes appear and disappear on the panel, leaving only traces of the initial layer, like the mere reverberation of a memory. Words that describe this piece: Dreamy, dreamlike, B&W, Bold, dynamic, Abstract, Contemporary, meditative, nature, white, black Artwork Details: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in California, USA - Professional grade oil paints on Wood Panel - Wood Panel with Birchwood face and 1 5/8"" Poplar wood cradle - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Professional-grade paint - Certificate of authenticity included with original Artist Biography: Usha Shukla...
