Nicholas Barbieri Oil Painting on Canvas

Item Details

An original oil painting on canvas by Nicholas Barbieri (American, 1942-2013). This work features two large sweeping circular forms that overlap and are rendered in hues of red and orange against a yellow background. The dripped pigments, gestural brushstrokes, and compulsive repetition displays a sense of controlled spontaneity in the composition. No signature or date is found on the composition. A descriptive gallery label is adhered to the verso.

Nicholas Barbieri is best known his use of repetitive circular motions in his abstract expressionist style paintings. He received his BFA with honors from Pratt Institute and continued his art education with a MFA at Lehman College. Barbieri’s exploration of the visual relationships and effects of light on form, structure, and space have evolved over his four decade career. He has participated in many solo and group exhibitions and has his work in many private collections including the Clock Tower Gallery, Empire State Building-5th Avenue Gallery, Hundred Acres Gallery, and in The Hudson River Museum.
