eBay This is an important and seldomly seen Vintage Boston Modern Male Bodybuilder Figural Portrait Painting, Acrylic & Spray Paint on paper, by renowned Boston, Massachusetts Modernist painter, Louis Risoli (b. 1952.) This artwork depicts the chiseled body of a strong male bodybuilder, rendered in thick and textured brush strokes, who wears a teal thong and exhibits his physique for the viewer’s gaze. The subject is depicted just below the thin, adding an alluring anonymity and exhibitionist aspect to the meaning of this work. Surrounding him are various abstracted patterns, such as thick dollops of brightly colored paint, and bold stripes. An old label from the esteemed Stux Gallery affixed to the verso reads: “Louis Risoli, 1982…A pleasure To Give. 29″ x 46″ …acrylic/spray paint/paper…Stux Gallery, 36 Newbury St. Boston.” Approximately 31 x 48 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 29 x 46 inches. Very good condition for age, with some faint scuffing and edge wear to the original period vintage frame. This painting is from Risoli’s very first exhibition, which received critical acclaim from art critics back in 1982 and cemented his legacy in New England contemporary art circles. Risoli’s artworks are in the permanent collections of the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Boston and the Vero Beach Museum of Art, Florida. Priced to Sell. Acquired from an old and affluent collection in Los Angeles, California. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.

Louis Risoli is known for Painting. Louis Risoli was introduced to the Boston art scene in 1981. In the early 1980’s, Risoli exhibited his Body Builder Series at Boston’s acclaimed Stux Gallery. Risoli’s paintings were exhibited from 1989 to 1992 at Boston’s Zoe Gallery and were featured in 11 Artists/ 11 Visions: 1992 at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. Since 1992, Risoli has exhibited at Gallery NAGA. Louis Risoli was introduced to the Boston art scene in 1981when the Rose Art Museum featured his abstract paintings in “Restless Natives” a show of emerging artists. Already evident in these small canvases is Risoli’s confident handling of lush paint and complex quasi-geometric patterns. In the early 1980’s, Risoli exhibited his Body Builder Series at Boston’s acclaimed Stux Gallery. Writing in Art in America, Sarah McFadden stated that “painted in lavish relief, the figures, cropped at the neck, dominate their flat, patterned grounds as body builders do a stage. Gary Garrels writing in Art New England compared the work to Marsden Hartley and stated “At their essence these are paintings about the nature of making images, the relationship of the artist to his work, and the viewer’s interaction in these processes.” Abstraction re-emerged in the late1980’s as the dominant drive in Risoli’s paintings, which were exhibited from 1989 to 1992 at Boston’s Zoe Gallery and were featured in 11 Artists/ 11 Visions: 1992 at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum. Since 1992, Risoli has exhibited at Gallery NAGA. Turning to shaped canvasses in the early 2000’s, Risoli produced works described by Christopher Mills, writing in the Boston Phoenix as “surprisingly restive…inventive enterprises…[with a] jewel-like gleam of paint” that brought to mind “Fabergé eggs.” A more recent body of work retains the restless spirit of earlier decades and expands on what in 2016, Cate McQuaid calls, in The Boston Globe “dense, smart, joyful paintings… bubbling with pattern and demented hues.” In 2018 while travelling in New Mexico, Risoli began a series of gestural landscape Pleine aire drawings, a new and exciting direction in his work, which was further developed in trips to Vermont and the Adirondacks. This turn towards nature and landscape reached fulfillment in late 2019, when Risoli set abstraction aside. He is now devoting all his painter-energy to the natural world, in a series of paintings that range from mountain-top vistas to intimate leaf-scapes. They all bristle with energy and expectation, utilizing a language of pattern and obsession, beauty and unfolding possibility. LOUIS RISOLI Having set aside his characteristic use of shaped canvases, Louis Risoli now plays out the drama within the rectangular stretchers. Risoli composes symphonically, painting with layers of oil, which allows the layer beneath to inform and interact with the next layer. Whereas the paintings have explicit order and balance, they also delight in moments of quirky rapture and mystery. His imagery is composed of complex shapes and colors that become clashing forces. It’s a tenuous relationship, one that could fall apart at any moment. Risoli uses a complicated visual language of shape and color and atmosphere to create a synergy of visceral and human-made (often architectural) imagery with natural and elementary forces. For example, the coiled shapes of veins and arteries coalesce into whirlwinds and tornadoes, and paint that has been allowed to flow in thin veils and almost random drips may be carefully and deliberately over-painted, preserving its intent while exerting the painter’s control. Risoli’s colors are often arresting and vibrant, with the potential to imply frivolity and joy, and these are certainly part of the paintings’ appeal; but under-layers of moody, turbulent color often seep or erupt to the surface, disrupting the complicated patterns that Risoli revels in, and hinting at deep emotion and complex passions. Risoli has an extensive exhibition history and has work in corporate and public collections, including the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts and the Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Massachusetts.
