CHARLIE BLUETT:
Willem de Kooning donated this image titled “Devil on a Keyboard” to the Rainbow Art Foundation in June 1976. The Rainbow Art Foundation is an organization which helps young and new printmakers. The R.A.F. has informed us that this is indeed a historical piece since de Kooning himself worked on it. The image was made into a nine color lithograph print in an edition of 70 signed and numbered prints. De Koon‐ ing then added the word Rainbow to the image and signed and numbered 125 pieces which is this edition.

CHARLIE BLUETT (British, b. 1965) Charlie Bluett’s first publicly hung work was selected and hung in the Royal Academy of Arts in Piccadilly, London England. This was followed by a number of solo and mixed exhibitions at Blaines, The Bloxham Galleries & Smith Street Gallery in London England and The British Young Masters exhibition in Fulham London. He was Born in England, and studied at the same college as Prince William and Harry, although a predecessor, at Eton College in England where he studied Fine Art. As reflected in his latest paintings, his output has been driven by his overriding passion for the enhancement of the process, and the flow and ebb of life, and the light and color of the everyday things he sees. He started as a professional artist in earnest in the early 90’s fascinated by the processes he uncovered as his work unravelled against the backdrop of his own private life and experi‐ ences. His works now hang in multiple Private & Corpo‐ rate collections in The USA and Europe, such as Putnam Investments Corporate Art Collection and Payden & Rygel Financial Management amongst others.
He is continually pushing the elements of his process. This search for surfaces, color and form, reflect the time and experiences which came to pass as he did so and mirror in his creative output as a result of this keen and single minded focus toward his art. His works contain el‐ ements that pay homage to the techniques and the deft touches of the Old Masters, blended with abstract expres‐ sionism and the colorfield painting of the contemporary names of our time. The changing surfaces, vibrant and ethereal color use, and the consistent subtle movement of form and mind within the works, is considered and yet fluid, challenging and yet totally at peace within itself, and reflect the beauty of the natural objects and vast and stunning natural environments of the USA he experi‐ ences in his everyday life. He currently works from his studio in Vermont where he lives with his wife and two children, part of the beautiful & inspirational Green Mountains of the North East Kingdom in The USA.
