About the Item

This 31.625 x 44.75 inch by Larry Hefner is an abstract mixed media painting. Hefner uses paint and fabric to add texture to the composition. The composition consists of various organic shapes, lines and patterns, resembling a patchwork. Hefner uses a color palette consisting of different shades and tones of beige/tan, light blue, white, grey and a small amount of orange. Across the bottom and top edge of the work, both taking up about 1/8th of the work, are strips of thick light grey/light blue paint that add texture to the work, as though they are raised from the canvas, creating horizontal ridges within both top and bottom strips. Below the top strip, is a thin, black, jagged line with a repeating pattern of black rectangular shapes placed along it. This black line is interrupted on the right side by an organic shape of cut out burlap, outlined by a black line with small blue dots. This shape overlaps onto a large white painted organic shape, connected to another larger white organic shape, by a representational ladder. The first white shape is overlapped again by another square shaped piece of burlap fabric, overlapping yet another shape, just below to the white shape. This shape is more rectangular and borders the bottom strip of light grey/blue thick paint mentioned earlier, but is painted with a dark grey color. On the other side of the "ladder" is a blue organic shape that overlaps the white larger shape mentioned before; both the blue and white shapes border another smaller dark grey shape, also bordered by the light grey/light blue strip of paint that runs across the bottom of the canvas. The dark grey is also slightly seen within a triangular shaped patch thats positioned just above the larger white shape upon the left side of the canvas. There are 12 patchwork type shapes that are various shades of beige, that overlap the large white shape and are then overlapped by the large light blue shape mentioned before. Hefner's style incorporates jagged, uneven lines and organic shapes adhering to abstract principals.

  • Landscapes I - Oversized Large, Vivid Pastel Abstract Original Painting
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Khoury's art is characterized by her masterful use of vivid fluorescent colors, dark tones, and high-contrast compositions that are both striking and visually compelling. She employs a variety of techniques, including thick and thin brushstrokes, to create a sense of depth and texture in her work. To balance the roughness of the canvas, which is treated with sand prior to starting each piece, Sally incorporates pastels, which add a softness to the overall texture of the painting. The sand is evenly sprinkled across the surface, giving each piece a unique and distinct texture. This large, fluorescent, colorful 59-inch high by 108-inch wide triptych painting is an acrylic paint composition on canvas with pastels, spray paint, and sand. Each segment measures 59 inches high by 36 inches wide. This abstract artwork is signed by the artist on the front of the artwork. The sides are a continuation of the painting and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Convenient U.S. and global shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Khoury's series of abstract paintings is a celebration of her connection to her parent's native language and the Arab world she grew up in. Through the incorporation of elements of Arabic writing, Khoury infuses her work with a unique charm and energy that captivates the viewer. The curves and lines that make up the language are emphasized and transformed into vibrant, colorful patterns that represent a mix of emotions and memories. Each painting is a visual representation of the sense of belonging that Khoury feels through the language and culture of her upbringing. Khoury begins her creative process by using pastels, spray paint, and acrylics to create scratches and marks on the canvas. As she works, she draws inspiration from Arabic words and phrases, using them to guide the direction of her strokes. Before the paint dries, Khoury scrapes it off, pulling it downwards towards the end of the canvas. To complete the composition, Khoury adds solid colors and meticulously placed drips of paint, which give the painting a sense of movement and depth. The result is a series of captivating abstract paintings that showcase Khoury's talent as an artist and her unique artistic vision. Khoury was born in Ohio following her family’s emigration from Lebanon. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Saudi Arabia, where she stayed until she was 14. Sally then attended high school and college in Beirut, where she graduated with a BA in Fine Arts with distinction from the Lebanese American University of Beirut. In 2013, she moved back to the United States and settled in California. She recently relocated to Qatar. Her paintings have been featured in group and solo shows in Beirut, Dubai, Italy, and the USA.
