About the Item
Horizontal minimalist abstract acrylic painting in color fields of aqua, deep blue and black.
oil and alkyd on canvas in a Larson Juhl black wood recessed framed
Inspired by stones, stains from nature, erosion and artists such as Rothko and Sam Francis, Snow produces meditative fields of brilliant aqua, blue and black color by layering oil paints with a fast drying alkyd medium. The network of layers are bound to a complex under-painting with broad bands of pigment while the rapid drying alkyd allows Snow to continue the succession quite quickly, revealing beautiful boundaries of color. With his painting Snow strives for purity, seeking depth without illusion, using horizons of colors as a harmonious language to create chords, scales and tones. The artist has exhibited extensively in the New England region and has shown with Carrie Haddad Gallery for more than ten years.
Surface texture of this painting is incredibly smooth due to the combination of paint and chemicals used. Palette is a brilliant aqua and sapphire blue that gradiates from light to dark into a deep field of stark black.

- Untitled 2 (Contemporary Abstract Geometric Painting in Blue, Red, Black)By Ralph StoutLocated in Hudson, NYAbstract minimalist color block painting on panel "Untitled 2", painted by Ralph Stout in 2019 16 x 16 x 2 inches, acrylic on panel Sides are painted black, additional framing is optional Ready to hang as is This abstract minimalist, mid-century modern style painting on canvas was made by East Hampton based artist, Ralph Stout, in 2019. The composition features an interlocking pattern of dark teal, blue and black. The painting is on panel with black painted sides. The artist's signature is located on the back. Ralph Stout refers to his approach to abstract painting as “incremental adventurism”. This sums up Stout’s calculated combos of vivid pigments and defined forms layered on top of fluid underdrawings. The artist first creates space using simple linework with graphite pencil; intertwining curvy lines or straight intersecting angles are drawn in varying densities. He then fills the spaces with blocks of pure, vivid color without any real detail other than the outlines of each form that begins to appear. Each mass is connected in stark juxtaposition using intense contrast of color and line. It is the delicate tension between the background and foreground that reveals a solid graphic that is full of vibration.
