Bachir Amal
Illuminations I - Multicolor Contemporary Abstract Painting

2006

About the Item

Multicolored contemporary Moroccan abstract painting by Bachir Amal. Acrylic, mixed media on canvas. Size: 29 x 30 inches - Offered unframed. Amal Bachir is a Moroccan Postwar and Contemporary artist born in 1954. Modernism in painting in the contemporary era has become a pure, self-referential art. In many abstract paintings, the canvas transforms itself to give a pure, indeterminable perceptive in which one cannot distinguish between ‘top’ and ‘bottom’. Amal’s painting operates according to this perspective. It has a distinguished, contemporary inclination toward adopting the principle of equivalence or interchangeability. Amal’s paintings do not communicate a message or a point of view. Instead, it invites the viewer to partake in a sort of foreclosure or obliteration of significance. That is, to put aside the content (subjects, themes, patterns) to focus on procedures, forms, and stylistic traits as visual possibilities. It is a silent ceremony of total lucidity, where creativity makes color light, and form a festive celebration of the painter’s performance and skill. “My paintings are inspired by the blessing of a moment or the hospitality of a place,” says Amal. The experience of Amal’s work reveals a muteness that cancels the ordinary whisper of feelings and the elusive reflection of a state of mind. With its assemblage, collage, and sampling, the pictorial work alone constitutes the organizing principle that structures and orders the work’s stylistic unity, revealing shapes (squares, triangles, crescents) and graphics (Tafinagh symbols).

  • Golden Lore IV - contemporary mixed media collage gold abstract
    By Russell Frampton
    Located in London, GB
    This recent body of work is informed by my continuing research into the physical and metaphorical nature of archaeological artefacts and votive objects, allied to the referencing of the symbolic forms and materiality of alchemy. Central to this practical investigation has been the use of ‘gold’, and the qualities that the material, with its obvious chromatic and symbolic values, seems to possess. This has driven both the conceptual and pragmatic concerns within the evolution of this work. Gold is an alluring and complex symbol of many, often conflicting meanings, avarice, greed, wealth but also of purity and celebration, and has been used as the adornment of spiritual and religious iconography as a devotional act for millennia. The titles refer to connections I have made with the forms themselves, often when making a painting a word will emerge which acts as a form of poetic catalyst. ‘Parsival’ or Percivale/Peredur was the knight questing for the holy grail...

  • C1120 Unstretched Abstract Light Gree Blue White Quotes Words Dictionary
    By Zach Touchon
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    This work is a part of the "Chaos and Control Theory" Series - the artist's signature series. It was created with the pages from an Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. This technique gives a special character to the work - you can play with it by asking questions, pointing to any part of the work, and you will get a meaningful phrase or a word. The work has blue and white colors. Great for the modern interior. The work is unstretched and will be shipped in a roll. -- "Chaos and Control Theory" Series is about depth and space. It’s about information overload, and what information looks like when you take out a meaning. I create lots of layers, using found materials and printed materials. I do an abstract expressionism painting on a surface first before I apply the printed and found materials. And then I begin to organize the surface, ultimately thinking about balance and flow and how the piece is going to contribute to the space it is going to be hanging in. -- Zach Touchon is an American contemporary abstract expressionist artist and muralist based in Los Angeles, CA. Besides that, Touchon is also an actor, a singer, a screenwriter, and a writer. Zach Touchon is an artist in the second generation. By rethinking abstract expressionism ideas, using different media he creates large abstract artwork along with small collages, huge...
