Description:

Eltemtamy, Ahmed (B.1960) Florida Artist Painting. Oil on gallery wrapped canvas - signed lower right. Executed in brush and palette knife. Ahmed Eltemtamy transports viewers to the heart of the orange groves in 1929 where the original photo was taken. This painting is a vivid tableau of the labor and life of orange pickers, their toil immortalized in Eltemtamy expressive style. the sky transforms into a canvas of purple and pink, a backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the grove. The pickers are the central figures, depicted with a remarkable attention to detail. Their movements are fluid, their bodies bent and weary as they reach for the sun-kissed oranges. The wooden ladders are almost characters in their own right, standing tall amidst the trees, enabling the harvest. The wooden crates are filled to the brim with the fruits of labor, each orange a burst of color against the wooden texture. Canvas measures 48x60. Ahmed Eltemtamy, born in 1960 and moved to US in 1980. Began painting full time in October 2002 and draws inspiration from the works of the A. E. Backus, Martin Johnson Heade and other 19th and 20th century masters. Condition: Very Fine
