Signed lower right, 'P. Ciment' for Phyllis Ciment (American, born 1946) and painted circa 1975.
Phyllis Ciment first studied at the School of Fine Arts at Boston University and, subsequently, at the University of Miami. She has exhibited widely and with success in galleries and universities including, but not limited to, the following: Boston University; Clemmen Gallery, Coconut Grove, FL.; Dadeland Gallery, Miami; Depot Gallery, Yountville, CA; Galleria Heller, San Francisco; Livingston's Art Gallery, San Francisco; Maxwell Gallery, San Francisco; Phyllis Ciment Studio, San Francisco; Temple Beth Shalom, Miami Beach. Ciment currently teaches at San Francisco's School of the Arts .
Phyllis Ciment’s paintings reveal a working method that responds to her sense of place. From her experiences living in San Francisco's SOMA (South of Market) district, and spending time in industrial areas of South San Francisco, CA, she derives her strong connection to her lived surroundings. Ciment finds beauty in urban landscapes, factories, rooftop cityscapes, city window views, fences and underpasses. She focuses on the complexity of space, with depth and linear perspective as her essential subject matter. The viewer is drawn into her attention to draftsmanship and her emphasis in composition, texture, linear and atmospheric perspective and overlapping space. An intuitive and lyrical colorist, Ciment melds tone and texture, often scumbling her surfaces through to reveal warm undertones.
