About the Item

The texture of this artwork is both subtle and engaging. Standing far away this painting invites the viewer to step forward and see up close the eye-catching texture Ottesen created. Framed this piece measures 26.75" x 37.75" x 1", and unframed it measures 26" x 32". Frederik Lund Ottesen studied at the University of Gettysburg, and later at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, where he won the school's most prestigious prize. Arriving in Paris in 1938, Ottesen entered Georges Braque's atelier and exhibited with the Galerie des Quatre Chemins until the second world war. After a distinguished military career, Ottesen returned to France and became friends with Hans Hartung. At this time, he began to paint abstractions. He showed extensively throughout Europe in the 50s and 60s, and was affiliated with the prestigious Galerie Coard in Paris and Downtown Gallery in NY.

  • Guna II (Abstract Painting)
    By Tracey Adams
    Located in London, GB
    Guna II (Abstract Painting) Encaustic on Okawara paper - Unframed The title, Guna (2016), is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘string, thread or strand’ and was inspired by Adams yoga practice. “It’s a key concept in various schools of Hindu philosophy which states there are 3 gunas: goodness, passion and darkness, all present in everyone and everything, but in different proportions. The interplay of the 3 gunas define the character of someone or something, of nature and determines the progress of life”. (Wikipedia) The pieces in this series are printed with pigmented encaustic on Japanese paper; they are mounted on panel and coated with medium or stand alone like this work on Okawara paper. These artworks were a reaction to the more serialized and geometric work Adams was doing, a need to break from that and work in a freeing and more physical way. Tracey Adams is an American abstract painter and printmaker. Her artworks reflect a strong interest in musical patterns, rhythms, lyrical compositional elements and what she calls a sense of performance. She lives and works in Carmel, California. Work by Adams is part of the permanent collections of several museums, including the Bakersfield Art Museum, the Monterey Museum of Art, the Fresno Art Museum, the Tucson Art...
