About the Item
Minimal, Vertical abstracted landscape painting of a fuschia pink field with evergreen and red trees under a pale blue sky
"Color Field 500", painted by Tracy Helgeson in 2021
36 x 24 x 2 inches, oil on wood panel
Ready to hang as is, no frame required, edges of the panel are painted soft black
Artist signature located on the back
This modern American landscape painting was made by Hudson Valley artist, Tracy Helgeson. Here the artist channels influences from the American Realist and Color Field movements, most notably, the work of Wolf Kahn and Mark Rothko, respectively. The minimal abstracted landscape of a rural country field highlights beautiful color relationships; a horizon of evergreens with red trees divides a pale blue sky and a vibrant pink field. Faint illegible writing is scribed into the surface in the lower left corner, which is meant to imply a handwritten note. A thin red, crimson colored border is revealed along the edge of the painting. The artist applies gesso to the panel before painting, which leaves a slightly raised texture, and the surface is protected with a gloss varnish.
The vertical painting measures 36 x 24 x 2 inches and has black painted sides so it's ready to hang as is.
The artist's signature is located on the back along with sturdy wire the hanging.
About the Artist:
Tracy Helgeson is inspired by the architecture of the landscape. The softly rolling hills, winding country roads and shimmering poplar trees surrounding her home outside Cooperstown offer sanctuary and stimulation for this one-time graphic designer/illustrator.
Many viewers will recognize the overtones of painters Hans Hoffman, Wolf Kahn and Mark Rothko in Helgeson's luminous paintings. Although Helgeson borrows from the visual languages of these established artists, she also adds a distinctly personal inflection to her work. She is closest in feel to Kahn - in the choice and use of her colors and tendency for strong diagonal compositions. Though pictorial interpretations of the landscape are also common for both artists, Helgeson isn't afraid to venture into abstraction.
There is a dissonance of color and contrast in some of these paintings that couldn't work in the hands of a less capable artist.
Helgeson's paintings are not Currier and Ives-like portrayals of the landscape. They are the images that linger in your mind's eye after an autumn sunset or a drive by a wheat field on a hot summer day; you recall everything as being a little more vivid, a little brighter and turned up a notch or two so you won't forget it.
Tracy Helgeson was born in Minnesota, in 1964. She attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1983, majoring in Graphic Design. She also attended the Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts) where she studied illustration. Philadelphia was a great influence on Tracy and it was there that her work began to take on a unique style. She also learned the under painting skills and glazing techniques that distinguish her current work.
In 2003, Tracy and her family moved to upstate New York. With the children in school, she has finally been able to devote more time and energy to her personal work. Tracy began painting landscapes, greatly inspired by the natural beauty surrounding the farmhouse that she lives and works in.
