Leon Phillips
Canadian
Leon Phillips is a Canadian artist who explores the materiality of color. He sets up color-gesture situations that allow the physical nature of his tools and materials to express themselves. In his work, color is a structural element rather than a decorative one. Phillips studied at the University of Saskatchewan, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts cum laude (Fine Arts Major) in 1985; in 1989, he completed his Bachelor of Environmental Studies (Architecture) from the University of Waterloo. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, he currently lives and works on the traditional Indigenous lands of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, now known as Vancouver, British Columbia.(Biography provided by IdeelArt)

Abstract Expressionist Latin American Painting
By Ramon Prats
Located in Surfside, FL
Genre: Modern
Subject: Abstract
Medium: Oil
Surface: Paper
Country: Spain
Dimensions w/Frame: 25 1/2 x 21 1/2
This original painting by Spanish artist Ramon Prats is moody and powerful. The colors are a mix of black, grays and reds ala Antoni Tapies and they evoke a masculine, deep energy.
Ramon Prats, was born in Barcelona, Spain in 1928. At the age of 15, Prats was appointed the official artist and illustrator for the El País newspaper in Havana, Cuba where his family was residing at the time.
He studied at The School of Visual Arts in Santo Domingo and The School of Graphic Arts in Havana, Cuba.
Upon completing his studies in Cuba, Prats moved to New York to study at the Art Students League of New York. Word of the young, talented, Spanish artist quickly spread amongst the New York City art scene and soon reached the Associated American Artist Gallery of New York, which then commissioned Prats under a seven year exclusive contract. He regularly exhibited at the AAA gallery until 1955, and also showed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1952, he assisted painter Jose Vela Zanetti in painting the mural, "Mankind's Struggle for Lasting Peace," which is still in the lobby of the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Prats moved to Mexico in 1956 and was pivotal in spearheading the development of modern art there until his death at age 74.
There are currently two examples of Prats' work in the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian museum's collection: Textile, Mosaic, 1954 (1994-38-3) and Sidewall, Terrazzo, 1953 (1954-21-6).
Prats moved to Mexico in 1956 and was a pivotal figure amongst the artist responsible for spearheading the development of Modern Art in Mexico.

Signed on the stretcher
Fenton's quiet and contemplative nonobjective paintings and drawings were widely recognized for their demanding yet understated means of revealing a serious and sober essence. He identified greatly with Mark Rothko, a friend, as well as Adolph Gottlieb and Jack Tworkov, with whom he had studied privately. Fenton painted in New York City in the late 50's as the explosion of Abstract Expressionism turned into a rebellion against gestural, emotional painting.
More concerned about his art than his posture, he expanded upon a tradition in painting with influences as diverse as Whistler and Turner as well as Ad Reinhardt and Joseph Albers.
Alan Fenton was born in Cleveland in 1927, studied at the Cleveland School of Art, The Arts Students League, The New School, and at NYU, earning his BFA at Pratt Institute, where he later taught painting for many years. At seventeen, Fenton served in the Merchant Marines where he began a career as a professional boxer, a skill he had honed on the streets.
He moved successfully through the graphic design business en route to becoming a painter in New York at the height of the art revolution of the fifties and sixties. Fenton enjoyed success with his subtle washes and pencil drawings as well as large abstract canvases...
