About the Item
This is a contemporary mid-century modern style abstract acrylic painting on canvas framed in a brushed platinum painted wood frame with a narrow black reveal. It is heavily textured with dominant gold, yellow, pink, and green accents. It is signed lower right. Every purchase comes with a free, hardcover copy of the beautiful illustrated new book, "Joseph McAleer: Sixty Years."
"Joe McAleer's paintings engage us as participants in a complex perceptual game. Comprised of contrasting patterns of color, texture, and form, which fill the canvas from edge to edge, his restless abstractions elude a fleeting encounter. Rather, they absorb our attention with rhythmic structures and visual anomalies designed to stimulate and perplex our senses."
- Joe Houston, Author "Optic Nerve, Perceptual Art of the 1960s"; Curator, Hallmark Art Collection
McAleer is an artist and lifelong educator based in NJ. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Rowan University, and has exhibited his work up and down the east coast, including solo exhibitions at Bridgette Mayer Gallery and Locks Gallery in Philadelphia, PA.

Joseph McAleer
McAleer is an artist and lifelong educator based in NJ. He earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from Rowan University, and has exhibited his work up and down the east coast, including major solo exhibitions at Bridgette Mayer Gallery and Locks Gallery in Philadelphia, PA. "All my work originates from my personal experience of life, my worldview. I am continually challenged by the infinite, creative possibilities that exist within the flat, 2D picture plane. The work I have done for the last several years involves what I call “erasing.” Using mostly an opaque, layering process, I “erase” large passages of previously created forms. Repeating this process of layering several times offers many open-ended possibilities of discovery. Curved edge orientation and layering techniques are also integral to my invented non-objective work. By using this continuous, natural (organic) process, I rely on instinct and intuition to move the work forward. Complex, layered shapes, a soft palette, nuances of line, subtle textures, shape and background are all brought into relationship with each other." – Joseph McAleer

- Green Tree on Red - contemporary abstract landscape painting w/ plants, glitterBy Henry BermudezLocated in Bryn Mawr, PAThis is a brightly colored mixed media landscape / still life painting in acrylic and reflective glitter on canvas. It depicts an organic, surrealist plant form in the style of Salvador Dali against a glittering red background. IHenry Bermudez is a seasoned Latino contemporary artist born in Venezuela and based in the US. Emerged from the Caribbean tropics, his artistic life has been an unexpected hybrid of ideas informed by an acute sensitivity to the past, stenciled as part of a personal inventory onto different foreign places that throughout his life have become his home and his artistic working territory. "My paintings are steeped in mythical dream imagery within an otherworldliness of carefully constructed creature and plant forms. Further defined by my identity as a Latino, my work combines symbols and myth from ancient pre-Hispanic cultures with the iconography of contemporary art. The result of this autobiographical vision is a blend of cultural diversities that further defines itself through my immersion in societies other than the one I was born into. Through my exposure to religious and social syncretism, my visual itinerary became charged with powerful influences which provided a unique vision of the African Diaspora in the Americas, its symbolism, and iconography." - Henry Bermudez Bermudez’s journey of unique geographical, artistic and human observation has taken him from educational experiences in small isolated communities in the Caribbean up to representing Venezuela in the Venice Biennial. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PA); Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, NY); Modern Art Museum of Mexico (Mexico City); Irish Museum of Modern Art (Dublin); Venezuela National Gallery (Caracas); Museum of Contemporary Art (Maracay, Merida, Maracaibo, Caracas); Modern Art Museum of Costa Rica; Museum of Art a Ralli @Punta Del Este Uruguay; and many private collections across the globe. Since his arrival in the USA in 2003, Bermudez has been commissioned by the Mural Arts Program of Philadelphia on several major projects. In 2011, he was one of a handful of artists chosen to work with the Philagrafika print collaborative founded by artistic director and curator Jose Roca. In 2012 Mr. Bermudez received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. He was elected to present an installation at The Philadelphia International Airport Art...Category
