May 2018 "The Marine Collection" Two paintings, "Pine Tree Island" and "Beach, Wild Atlantic Way," by Kirstin McCoy are featured in 'The Marine Collection' selected by Bobby Schenk. "Bobby Schenk has been cited as one of the greatest navigators of our time according to ‘Yacht’ magazine. In 1970, Bobby and his wife Carla traveled around the world in his yacht called Thalassa, without the help of GPS or modern tools. Since then, he has accomplished many amazing feats and completing numerous world trips... Sailors and artists share the same passion for exploration and discovering new horizons. A work of art can provoke a powerful emotional reaction, help us to recall memories, capture an atmosphere or provide a projection of our dreams. As a navigator, Bobby Schenk shows us that art has the power to reveal very different passions depending on the lived experience of each individual." VIEW THE COLLECTION VIEW ART |

WORLD OF ART MAGAZINE RUSSIA - Мир Искусства …
July 2015 Twenty Paintings by Kirstin McCoy’s are featured at the Russian Мир Искусства (World of Art Magazine)... Яркие и сочные цвета - отличительная особенность, делающая её искусство уникальным Кирстин Маккой (Kirstin McCoy) - французская художница, живёт и работает на юге Франции, неподалеку от Средиземного моря. Ее искусство характеризуется яркими и сочными цветами. Картины Маккой есть во многих коллекциях по всему миру. Многое из творчества K Маккой вдохновлено яркими цветами юга Франции. Большая часть ее картины характеризуется энергичным, крайне мощным, часто совершенно спонтанным способом нанесения краски, которую художница густо накладывает на холст, используя кисти и мастихин. Для работы Кирстин использует масло и акриловые краски. Пишет как "на пленэре", так и в своей студии. Её творчество сформировалось под влиянием французских импрессионистов, фовистов и экспрессионистов - художников, которые также писали в Южной Франции, таких как Ван Гог, Дюфи, Сезанн, Матисс, Дерен и т. д. Как и художники, которые вдохновляют ее, Кирстен Маккой тоже, в качестве основы своих картин, использует выразительную силу цвета. УЗНАТЬ БОЛЬШЕ |
