Md Tokon
Blue Mountain

About the Item

Abstract Painting. Rich, vibrant colors. About the Artist: Md Tokon has lived and worked in the United States for the last twenty years, where he had attended the prestigious The Art Students League of New York – an institution which counts the likes of Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock, Cy Twombly, Helen Frankenthaler & many noted in its alumni. He also obtained his B.A. in studio art at The City University of New York. Recently, his works are exhibited & collected at Queens Museum of Art, New York; Hammond Museum, North Salem, New York; Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York; Art Southampton and many more. "Md Tokon has evolved into a very fine emerging artist who has grasped the essence of the East and the West in his work. His paintings are direct; they do not hesitate. The paintings deliver their message reflecting nature, emotion, and passion; with intense aesthetic expression, through surface and color. With each passing year Md Tokon’s work gets better and more precise, exhibiting his increasing sophistication and understanding of contemporary abstraction. When an artist is truly in touch with himself; he can begin to touch others through his work. With each passing year as life changes with the passage of time; an artist's work evolves and reflects those changes. It has become clear with the passage of time how Tokon's work reflects life's changes; and strike eternal chords; and how powerfully they connect to the viewer. Md Tokon's paintings are pure abstractions: no recognizable, figurative element come to the rescue of the viewer to help him "understand" what he has been given to see. His style, which has been variously linked to great artistic currents of the past such as Romanticism, Impressionism or Abstract Expressionism, makes great emphasis of color. The painter proceeds by layers. He adds up tonalities on the canvas and each new coat brings a new dimension to the overall result, rendering it more complex or, depending on the viewer's perspective, simpler. His images cannot be grasped at a glance; they require an active engagement. Consenting to that effort is a highly rewarding experience, for Tokon's painting aims at Beauty – which perhaps explains why critiques sometimes use the term "spiritual" to describe it."

  • Divide
    By Doug Freed
    Located in Tulsa, OK
    Divide by artist Doug Freed is a deep blue contemporary abstract landscape oil on canvas painting that measures 72 x 96 and is priced at $18,000. Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the gray area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Artist Statement For nearly twenty years, I made non-objective grid structured paintings. I started to see references to landscape in these works. I've literalized those references by painting oil landscape vistas of horizons, clouds and bodies of water. These paintings consist of two or more vertical panels. Usually one panel is landscape imagery. The adjacent panels are often atmospheric voids with vestiges of recognizable landscapes. I try to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. My intent is to create paintings imbued with a meditative, spiritual presence suggesting issues about time and ecology. I do this by softly modulating color, tone and value. The color varies from quiet, monochromatic works to fully orchestrated chromatic ones. By blending from one hue to another I create color which makes its self gradually felt, weeping forth. In this manner, I create illusions of mysterious emanations of light, places where ones eyes and spirit are invited to linger. I try to imbue my work with a monumental presence, epic in both size and scope. I do this by orchestrating the separate elements of color, texture and structure into a harmonious whole. I seek a somewhat reductive image rich in value and contrast. The surface of the work is devoid of textural incidence. I don’t want anything to distract from the illusion of depth so I deny any marks which would hold the viewer on the surface of the painting. In my luminescent multi- paneled oil paintings I try to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. The compositions are about ambiguities of form and void, foreground and background and surface and deep space. My roots lie in tonalism, color field painting and minimalism. However, my work contains an ever-present awareness of the dramatic use of light of the post-renaissance chiaroscurists. It combines a classical awareness of structure with a romantic use of color always in combination with a unique sense of ambiguity. My work continues in its evolution of style the search for an abstract means of probing the ambiguities of physical and spiritual experience of light, and its power to foster a more intense life of the spirit through profound emotional experience of form, color and composition.
