Item Description

About the Piece: This beautiful two-piece original oil painting has been generously donated by Andy Novis, a member of the AANE Artist's Collaborative. Each piece measures 22" wide by 40" tall, with a total dimension of 44" W x 40" H.

About the Artist: Andy's overall core belief is that art should be for art's sake ("ars pro gratia arte"). He uses heavily flat, unmixed color in his palette, framed by black outlining which both separates and enhances the color. To Andy, color, more than texture, shading, shadowing, or composition, is the core component within a painting.

About the AANE Artist's Collaborative: The AANE Artist's Collaborative consists of artists with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and related autism spectrum profiles. The collaborative creates an amazing opportunity for these artists to showcase and sell their work on a regular basis throughout the year. The Artist's Collaborative invites people to not only appreciate the mind-blowing artistic abilities of our members, but to also take advantage of the strikingly unique chance to see the world through their artwork, and therefore their eyes. Adults with AS often struggle with an inhibited ability to communicate verbally, but through their artwork, our artists are tapping into their rare, ingrained ability to communicate visually.
