Up & Coming
American Art Collector|April 2019

Emerging artist” takes on a different meaning when an artist begins a paint- “Emerging career after a long and distinguished career in another field.

Up & Coming

Frances Roosevelt received her Master of Architecture degree at Yale in 1981. She worked for Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown and eventually headed her own firm from 1996 to 2006 when she turned to painting full time. She says, “After many years of practicing the precise business of architecture, I am happy to be painting the landscapes of South Carolina Lowcountry, and the fields of Chester County, Pennsylvania, where I currently spend most of my time. I like to paint from memory, in a mostly abstract style, with a 3-inch brush. My paintings are informed by my interest in psychology and the evolution of consciousness.”

Blue Creek emerges from the fading fields, reflecting the sky, the quick, energetic brushstrokes expressing a passion that had to be more controlled in her previous career.

Alex Venezia is essentially a self-taught artist turned on to “the transcendent power of art” in a high school art class in which he was introduced to the chiaroscuro techniques of Caravaggio. Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he copied the masters at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk and studied with Odd Nerdrum, Colleen Barry, Daniel Sprick, Michael Klein and Jeff Hein, taking home first prize for still life in a competition at the Grand Central Atelier in 2017. Already a master of light, shadow and color, his Self Portrait at Age 23 exudes sober self-confidence.

Next Exit New York

Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
