Improvisational Jazz - Abstract Textural Action Painting
2023

About the Item

Los Angeles artist Marc Raphael captivates by his abstract expressionism paintings influenced by New York's abstract expressionist movement. After encountering Jackson Pollock’s work for the first time in the 90s, Raphael was enraptured by the scale, energy, color, and abstraction, awakening his creative spirit. Raphael’s painting technique combines the movement of his body, the viscous flow of paint, the force of gravity, and the absorption of paint into the canvas in a mixture of controllable and uncontrollable factors. This colorful original artwork by Raphael measures 68 inches high by 53 inches wide and was created with acrylic paint on canvas. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front. The artwork comes ready to hang with no framing necessary, while the artist's signature and title on the back. This artwork can be installed vertically as well as horizontally. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity from the art gallery is included. Raphael, a former K-12 teacher turned full-time painter, explores the depths of acrylic and latex paints, bringing unconscious thoughts to life through imaginative freedom. His process involves applying intuitive marks on raw canvas, allowing the painting to evolve naturally. With a balance of control and spontaneity, Raphael's creations evoke the spirit of jazz improvisation. Marc Raphael's exceptional abstract expressionist paintings are held in private collections worldwide.
