About the Item
"American Splendor" 23 Karat Gold Leaf and Oil on Linen, 26 x 50 Inches, is inspired by the American flag, elegant and whimsical, also reminiscent of American folk art and in the spirit of Pop art.
It is framed by the artist in a simple strip frame, painted in distressed white, which suits the painting extremely well.
Note: The painting is pictured at the lower right of this photograph. Better images can be forwarded. Stripes are straight, this painting needs to be re-photographed. There is also a version of this flag painting in all gold leaf ("American Splendor," 26 x 50 inches, $9000) and a "Union Jack (Red)" and a "Union Jack (White)," both 26 x 50 inches, $9000 each, and smaller flag paintings in 23 karat gold leaf and oil of the Union Jack and the Cuban flags (8 1/2 x 17 inches).
Charlotte Gibbs’ paintings of flags, such iconic Pop cultural symbols as the Coca-Cola logo, and the stark geometric forms identified with the Bauhaus and Minimalism startle our expectations of such classic imagery with their incongruous execution in the very formal mediums of 23-karat gold leaf and oil. Consistently to be found in Gibbs’ sparkly and luxurious works is the artist’s keen knowledge of the history of art, her love of referencing it, and a subtle sense of humor.
The flag series also encompasses oils that do not incorporate 23 karat gold leaf. Commissioned works in various sizes are also an option.
“Gold brightens up the darkest days of the year at Beth Urdang Gallery, and Charlotte Andry Gibbs makes liberal use of it in her paintings.
Gibbs focuses on iconography, using gold leaf and paint to re-create flags, corporate logos, and legendary works of art. While crafting a gold American flag, or a Coca-Cola or Chevrolet logo in gold feels like a too obvious jab at capitalism, all the works together draw intriguing formal connections.”
Cate McQuaid, “The Boston Globe,” January 12, 2013
