Chris Gwaltney

Art Brokerage: Chris Gwaltney American Artist: Chris Gwaltney’s colorful paintings are filled with evidence of their maker’s hand: scratched-out forms, visible preparatory drawings, and overpainted areas. Influenced by the loose brushstrokes and color palettes of Bay Area Figurative artists Richard Diebenkorn and Nathan Oliviera, Gwaltney’s paintings are caught between representation and abstraction. In Risking Self (2016), an ambiguous figure floats through the center of the canvas. Appearing both finished and unresolved, Gwaltney’s paintings depict the artist caught in mid-action. Gwaltney’s work has been on the cover of Art Week Magazine, and he has exhibited in New York City, California, and London. His works belong in private collections throughout the U.S. Listings wanted.
