An Important Artistic Update by Carolee Ross. Arts Writer |
Time and Tide by Francine Funke
Although I haven't posted to this blog for a while, I recently came across a painting, "Time and Tide," that renowned artist Francine Funke of Shelton, Connecticut had done for a solo exhibition in New York City at the Barbara Braathen Gallery. It is a powerful work and bespeaks of the maelstrom of turbulence that Hurricane Sandy wrought upon the NorthEastern coastal cities last week.
It might inspire you to reflect upon the force and power that has come with climate change -- or just feel the work visually, as the masterpiece that it is, measuring approximately seven feet by seven feet. The work belongs in a revered arts institution or in the spacious home of a knowledgeable collector. If it inspires you to donate to helping victims of Hurricane Sandy recover, then the work has served its purporse; to inspire.

I've interviewed a fascinating range of fine artists over the years in many publications such as Art and Antiques, Time-Mirror Newspapers and Art Scene for the Hour. My mission here is to bring the work of gifted artists to the public eye and do it with accuracy, writing excellence, a bit of humor and artistic insight.
