About the Item
The Ballerina And The Angel - Original Surrealist On Board
Dramatic and dynamic fantasy scene by Russell R. Tripp (American, 1942-2025). This piece depicts a ballerina sitting in the bottom left corner against stone pillars, wearing a deep red leotard, white leggings and pink ballerina shoes. An angel can be seen standing over her, gazing towards the pillars, while her hand lays on the stone. The artist uses bold contrasts of light and shadow to heighten the scene’s intensity.
Signed: "R. Tripp" lower right.
Board size: 30"H x 24"W
Russell Tripp (American, 1942-2025) enrolled in art classes at ten years old, beginning his path to become a professional artist from a young age. He went on to study at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco, graduating in 1964. Tripp was a prolific artist, despite the level of detail in his pieces. During the height of his career, he was selling paintings as quickly as he could produce them.
