About the Item
This abstract painting by Roger Mudre features a cool blue palette, with light circular shapes layered over one another throughout the composition. The painting itself is 20" x 20" and measures 30" x 30" framed. This piece transforms and shimmers in changing light due to hand-applied metal leaf under layer. It is professionally framed in a white box frame with thick mat, and is wired and ready to hang.
The focus of Roger Mudre’s work is the circle. This Connecticut-based artist finds inspiration in the colors and patterns of nature. Painting in jewel toned acrylics, he builds sheer layers of color on a subtly reflective metal leaf surface to create a picture plane that changes with the viewer’s perspective.
Roger's work is part of many corporate and private collections including Hotel Zero Degrees in Norwalk, Connecticut, Frontier Communications, and the Energizer Corporation in Shelton, Connecticut. Roger is influenced by Joesph Albers, Sol LeWitt, and Mark Rothko.
“I have never known any other path to take except that of an artist," the artist says. "The concept of infinity has been the inspiration for my work, employing the circle, the perfect form, as a muse. These mages reference microscopic worlds, cellular growth, auras, the cosmos, and places unseen, only imagined. The square format allows for a field of pattern that continues equally in all directions, reinforcing the feeling of infinity. My paintings begin with the application of metallic leaf. Using both additive and subtractive techniques, multiple layers of glazed color are built up. The underlying metallic leaf not only adds a rich tone to the work, it allows the light to refract off the surface of the finished painting. A variety of tools are used including brushes, scrapers and rags giving the paintings a very nuanced texture and complex depth of color. The combination of reflective metal leaf and the many layers of glazed color allow the painting to appear subtly different, depending on the light and viewing angle, creating a constantly changing visual experience. The result is a record of a journey that is both a sensuous and a creative exploration."

Roger Mudre
Artist Roger Mudre replicates patterns and hues found in nature in his paintings and prints, and the circles that can frequently be found in his abstract works represent infinity and owe to his interest in microscopic life forms and the cosmos.
Based in Connecticut, Mudre is the gallery director for the Silvermine Arts Center in New Canaan, Connecticut. He works in acrylics, and his paintings begin with a metal leaf foundation with layered colors overtop to create a sense of limitlessness which changes pursuant to the viewing angle. The effect is subtle, though unmistakable, and adds a level of complexity to an already entrancing image. Mudre has cited the work of Sol LeWitt and Josef Albers as having influenced his art.
Mudre’s work is a part of the corporate collections of Hotel Zero Degrees, Frontier Communications and the Energizer Corporation, among others. He has had numerous solo exhibitions in the state of Connecticut dating back to the late 1990s. In addition to the Silvermine Arts Center, he has solo exhibited at RGA Galleries in Ridgefield, the Bruce Kershner Gallery in Fairfield and the Wilton Library with group exhibitions at the corporate headquarters for General Electric, the University of Connecticut and Kouros Gallery in New York.

- Alternating Aubergine, purple and gold geometric abstract painting on paperBy Kazaan ViveirosLocated in Dallas, TX"Alternating Aubergine" is a contemporary work on paper with purple tones and gold. Part of Kazaan Viveiros' series titled "Passages", this artwork comes in a gold box frame and ready to hang. A Fellow at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts since 2015, Kazaan Viveiros earned a BA with distinction from the University of Virginia in Studio Art and Religious Studies, and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. With an interest in architecture, plus being a talented mathematician, it is no surprise that Kazaan Viveiros’ paintings are works of geometric perfection. Carefully considered shapes and colours dynamically draw your eye up and down diagonals before pausing or pivoting at junctions. In contrasting effect to these visuals, the subject matter that this work references is natural and fluid, such as water, handwriting, or nature itself. Viveiros' paintings have caught the attention of collectors far and wide. Five of her pieces are permanently installed in the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and have additionally been acquired by individuals such as Walmart's Rob Walton and novelist Danielle Steel.Category
