Description
New York-based artist Rupert Deese evokes organic forms in their most abstract sense. Spare and meticulous, his paintings and works on paper em-ploy themes of nature and landscape inspired in part by his childhood in Upland, California, where Rupert was born in 1952. Deese received his MFA and BA degrees from the University of California at Santa Barbara and was Artist in Residence at the Chinati Foundation in 1994.
His work has been shown at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Connecticut; Nevada Museum of Art, Reno; and New York State Museum, Albany, among others, and is included in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and the Nevada Museum of Art, Reno.
