2023

About the Item

Nan Van Ryzin (American, born 1952) "Fire" 2023 Oil Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the back of the painting. Nan Van Ryzin’s 'Fire,' a 58" x 72" abstract oil on canvas, is a mesmerizing exploration of color and emotion. With its rich layers of crimson, orange, and magenta, the piece bursts with energy, capturing the untamed spirit of fire. The thick application of oil paint enhances the depth and movement within the work as if the flames are alive and leaping off the canvas. This vibrant color palette evokes feelings of passion, intensity, and raw power, drawing the viewer into the heart of the blaze. Beyond its visual impact, 'Fire' serves as a profound metaphor for transformation. The fiery hues and dynamic brushstrokes suggest a process of destruction that clears the way for renewal, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life. Van Ryzin’s work invites reflection on how fire, with all its destructive potential, also holds the promise of rebirth, mirroring the resilience and continual growth inherent in the human experience. About the Artist: Based in Connecticut, Nan Van Ryzin is renowned for her vibrant and expansive abstract canvases. Her art, featuring thick, lush oil paints, captures the raw energy of natural forces with a style reminiscent of water's unpredictable flow. Each piece is meticulously planned yet executed with explosive vitality. Art critic O. Devan praised her work: "Nan's works first astound you by their size and lushness of color and then grab you for their quality. I stood in front of her canvases for several minutes and then walked away. I returned." Continually pushing the boundaries of abstraction, Van Ryzin experiments with various mediums and draws inspiration from icons like Jackson Pollock and Wassily Kandinsky. Her masterful creations, celebrated internationally, are collected worldwide. Van Ryzin's approach combines spontaneity with deliberate planning, embodying the spirit of abstract expressionists while forging a bold path in contemporary art.
