Shanghai’s Bar

This original landscape painting by Denis Ribas captures a solitary exterior bar scene that conveys clear early impressionist influences. The artist establishes an impression of a quiet street scene which is captured in dark, evening lighting. Painterly marks are applied with a direct, confident approach. Paint is employed thickly in this pragmatic style, giving the work dynamic impasto textures which purtrude from the canvas. Combinied with a vibrant palette of contrasting tones, this piece expresses an enlivened, vital approach that suffuses a beguiling energy in an isolated setting. The high contrasts between warm tones and midnight blue hues in this piece demonstrate the magical atmosphere of the evening. This contemporary impression is painted in oils on canvas, hand signed by the artist and ready to be displayed.
