Original gouache interior painting by celebrated, twentieth-century California landscape painter, Ronald Shap. Vibrant piece of a chair and footstools with bold orange and blue background. 24x18 inches on Strathmore 400 130 lb paper. Signed.
This piece is a part of Shap's '80s Interiors collection, a vibrant Neo-Pop series of nudes and still lifes rendered in neon or pastel colors painted between 1981 and 1992. His erotic and sometimes grotesque nudes are reminiscent of Egon Schiele, and the Miami Vice / Memphis Design pastel trend that dominated the 1980s art world can be clearly seen in his still lifes which remind us of Henri Matisse in his Fauvism period.Please contact us about framing and matting options.
