10 BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART TO GIVE NOW

1. PAULETTE TAVORMINA

Lush still-life photos evoke 17th-century Old Masters’ paintings, as Paulette Tavormina captures the abundance, diversity and tenderness of flora and fauna, carefully composed, and brilliantly lit.

Offered by Beetles + Huxley.

2. RICHARD LYTLE

Explosions of organic forms and colors burst forth from Richard Lytle’s fantastic abstract botanical landscapes.  

Offered by Fred Giampietro Gallery.

3. TIM MAGUIRE

A fusion of technical visions, chemical heightened realities and natural flowers, Tim Maguire’s paints with a technique that references printing processes, rendered using layers of the three colors used in digital printing: cyan, magenta, and yellow.

Offered by Von Lintel Gallery.

4. RICHARD MAYHEW

Jazz impressions fuel Richard Mayhew’s landscape paintings. Created by pouring color onto canvas, Mayhew’s paintings are spare and bold, yet soft and sensual.

Offered by ACA Galleries.

5. MANIKA NAGARE

This double panel painting by Manika Nagare is a bright gestural image, loose yet punctuated by the structure of edges and seams.

Offered by Miyako Yoshinaga.

6. DAVID LIGARE

With a foundation of neoclassical interpretations of light, with symmetry, harmony and balance, David Ligare’s landscape paintings tap ancient themes with fresh attitude.

Offered by Winfield Gallery.

7. MOHAMED ABLA

Bursting with color, Mohamed Abla’s “Bursting with Life,” is a fresh take on an impressionistic moment.

Offered by Arts-Mart.

8. WILLIAM TILLYER

Ethereal color pools spread and layer in William Tillyer’s “The Watering Place” series, inspired by and named after English artist Thomas Gainsborough’s earlier work. It portrays a fiery sky, with blue and green swirls, clouds and glowing, orange orbs, as it references Tillyer’s native North Yorkshire moors.

Offered by Bernard Jacobson Gallery.

9. JOSHUA JENSEN-NAGLE

A perfect gift to grace a beach house, Joshua Jensen-Nagle’s dreamy large-scale photos of beaches carry a strong sense of nostalgia, produced with SX-70 Polaroid prints that are painted and then re-photographed.

Offered by Galerie de Bellefeuilles.

10. MARC QUINN

Flower power has a new level or wattage in Marc Quinn’s flower series. Intense rushes of color hype petals, with stunning juxtapositions of blooms. Honored as a Young British Artist Quinn has expressed a fascination with organic forms and materials, pushing them beyond our perceptual limits.
