About the Item

Large, whimsical figurative painting of two abstract figures dancing in a country field "Whirl Reflection", oil on panel, 55 x 60 inches Framing is optional, sides are cleanly painted white Made in 2007 Signed by the artist, verso "Whirl Reflections" proffers all the hallmarks of a David Konigsberg painting: abstract liberties within representation, a rapturous handling of color, and an aesthetic that seamlessly fits into any space, rustic or modern. The underpainting is dappled with splashes of gestural oil paint, accentuating the swirling motion of the mysterious figures. Konigsberg is a conceptual realist who works across media and painting genres to portray transitional spaces, metaphoric moments and alternative histories. A long-time member of the Gowanus and Red Hook artist communities in Brooklyn, he is now based in Hudson and employs the area's landscapes as the setting and sometimes subject of his work. More about the artist: Traditional, yet innovative; reflective, yet distant, David Konigsberg’s landscapes and still lifes are rife with double-backs and unexpected turns. A self-proclaimed “solitary wanderer,” Konigsberg gathers imagery and visions from long walks through the Catskills, through surrounding terrain, and through his own backyard. He views all as equally minute and equally monumental, from a peaked horizon to a burst of petals collected from his garden. This confluence of near and distant perspectives creates an almost literary quality; the intimacy of first-person voice jockeying with the scope of an omniscient narrator. David’s paintings resist a certain aboutness, allowing simultaneous narratives to proliferate across the bodies of his canvases, culminating in an emotional sucker punch.
