Details about this painting and Artist: Vintage original landscape of pond & bridge oil painting by well listed artis Alan Cote (1937-present). About The Artist: Alan Cote is a painter who lives and paints in an old brick school building, vintage 1930. His studio is the former auditorium/gym, where the community also used to gather in the evenings (coming in the side door) for talent shows and the like, the stage being at one end of the large space, up a few steps, now his office, while the deep and spacious main part of the room,where the little orchestra played and the audience sat, can accommodate comfortably his tall, double-sided drawing table, his three sturdy carts of paint cans, his rolling scaffolding, the stacked canvases leaning against the wall, and the one large wall on which he paints. The windows are lofty and ample and arched, filling the space with floods of northwestern light. Cats wander in and out, one, two, and three, sit on one or the other of the two large speakers and watch what he is doing, or settle to sleep on the sofa before a low table piled with books, or stretch out along the tops of the leaning canvases. After fifteen years of the life of a New York City painter (Greenwich Street in Tribeca when that part of town was the fruit, vegetable, and dairy market district and rents were $200/month; when dealers sought painters instead of vice versa), Cote moved north a couple of hundred miles to live and work in a vast old tugboat shop that looked out on a tributary of the Hudson. In the early spring he could hear the ice booming; waterfowl nested in the rotten barge against the far bank. Now he has moved again, farther north and deeper in the country, at the edge of a rural village. Here he has increasingly concentrated his focus on what can be done within a few, consistent constraints. He finds there is great freedom within constraints, even, perhaps, more freedom than with no constraints at all. Cote's paintings have always been large, sometimes very large, occasionally filling an entire wall of a sizable gallery. He sometimes does a small or very small painting, but this is a rare departure. A number, at various times, of the earlier paintings were shaped canvases, but most of his paintings have been single rectangles or squares. Now, for the past two decades or so, he has been working with abstract two-panel paintings. (This was a form in which he worked briefly some decades ago, and, oddly--as the painter has little control over the eventual fate of his work--some of those panels were sold separately, consigned to exist the rest of their lives on their own. One hangs, without its partner, in a college library. Its matching panel is in a museum collection; another he has reacquired, and it leans against other paintings in his storage barn, while its partner is in a private collection somewhere out West.) This painting is in the impasto style and depicts a gorgeous Impressionist/realism landscape illustrating a beautiful and tranquil landscaped pond with a small bridge crossing to the other side. Very well done with impeccable detail, pleasing brushstrokes and great capture of light and depth. Great use of color, especially on the pond and foilage!
