About the Item
"Challenge 22," a 36" x 48" mixed media canvas by Masri, captures the essence of contemporary abstract expressionism with its bold, chaotic brushstrokes and a vibrant collision of colors. This compelling piece juxtaposes cool and warm tones, with splashes of blue and tranquil whites that clash against fiery reds and rich yellows, creating a visual representation of challenge and complexity. The frenetic black lines weave through the composition, adding a sense of urgency and intensity. The overall emotion of the artwork is one of confrontation and resilience, a dynamic battleground where color and form vie for dominance. With its energetic motion and compelling palette, "Challenge 22" invites viewers into a space of reflection on the inherent struggles and triumphs of the human spirit.
About The Artist:
Masri is a passionate Italian, US-based artist whose work has been exhibited in the USA, the UK, Germany, Lebanon, Italy, and Norway. His work is varied and known especially in Europe and in Major collections - Ellen Degeneres, Ringo Starr, Al Gore, and many more.
Harnessing an insatiable desire for artistic discovery, innovation, and perfection, he dives into experimentation with openness and enthusiasm. The works he produces, as a result, are bright, expansive, and bold.
Masri has developed a style that captures the Mideastern mood with A Lucien Freud brush touch. This style is completed with palette work as the artist often goes into a trance-like state when creating these powerful expressions of the human experience.
Artist statement:
"I live four seasons every day - it is a humongous world of perceptions, conceptions, and achievements; a world of renewable psychological input and output fraught with flowing emotions, endurance, and pain. "
The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal.

- "Subliminal" Colorful Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract by Steven H. RehfeldBy Steven H. RehfeldLocated in Carmel, CAThis 20" x 30" contemporary abstract mixed media piece by Steven Rehfeld is a captivating exploration of form, color, and texture. The composition features a harmonious blend of soft pastel hues — calming blues, delicate pinks, and mellow yellows — juxtaposed against more assertive tones of deep magenta, vibrant orange, and charcoal gray. The painting showcases Rehfeld's signature style of blending geometric shapes, notably triangles and circles, with freer, more organic brushstrokes. The added depth is achieved through the inclusion of mixed media elements: fragments of paper with faint sketches, scribbles, and translucent overlays create a multidimensional visual experience. The smoky, sinuous black mark towards the center adds a hint of dynamism, while the layered application of paint and paper produces a tactile richness, making the piece an engaging visual journey. Steven is now one of the top emerging artists in the U.S. His works are groundbreaking, bold, and imbued with unflinching disregard for painting conventions. Many works are in collections and museums in the U.S. Steven is also part of the 'Outsiders' school of art, originating in France in the 19th century. Also known as the Naïve movement, and was comprised of people with no art training at all, who suddenly started to paint. Many of them are from very challenging backgrounds. All they had was talent that had never before been tapped. In no time this movement became a significant art phenomenon and spread all over the world. His work, however, has branched out past the movement and his use of earth elements renders a basic and raw interpretation of his message. Original, 1-of-1. Shown at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California.
