About the Item

By letting go of representational imagery and leaning into abstraction, Texas- based artist Trey Egan delights in the pure properties of paint. Displaying a wide spectrum of hues with surface variations ranging from smooth to lusciously gooey, his pieces are scenic migrations of ambiguous organic shapes. The work is about movement, texture, color, and value. It is as atmospheric as it is edgeless. Each composition is built up intuitively by a call-and-response interplay between paint and person. Whether deliberately applying paint to the picture surface or looking away as he rapidly lathers a heavily loaded brush onto the canvas, he is in conversation with the medium, responding to what he sees and feels after each mark is made. Egan explains, “It’s about not forcing it. It’s like a push and a pull. If you know how to listen, the paint can tell you what happens next. You’re going to give some and you’re going to get some. Nothing is pre-planned. I’m not always sure why this exchange works but there’s a sense of trust with the medium that allows everything to come together at the end.”

  • Rising Tide
    By Tom Lieber
    Located in Miami, FL
    Tom Lieber is known for his dynamic abstract expressionist paintings, which focus on the human energy, experience, feelings, and processes of receiving and expressing. Lieber uses his powerful intuition to project the state of his inner being onto the canvas, enriching the paintings with strong emotions. Influenced by nature and meditations, Lieber believes that the body can be better equipped for creating than the mind, treating the act of painting as a full body experience with his spontaneous gestures and fearless approach to the canvas. The grace and shape of his bold lines appear over subtle neutral backgrounds with pockets of dense color and movement. His artworks are included in many prominent private and public art collections, including Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Museum of Modern Art San Francisco (SFMoMA), San Francisco, Tate Modern, London, Oakland Museum of California, Oakland, Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento, and Museum of Contemporary Art Los...
