About the Item
In all of James' work, he is intrigued by the ability of the individual to distinguish form when staring into the unrecognizable and, how, when confronted with mystery and uncertainty, one can find meaning and understanding and experience a sense of harmony within tension and chaos.
In James' Construct series, it is his intention to explore the formal elements of art by reducing compositions to their most simple forms and create works that are ultimately about transcendence, harmony and order. James referenced the traditions of Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, Op Art, Minimalism and the work of Rothko, Newman, Louis, Judd and Riley among others—all purveyors of work which has great spiritual and mystical potency. It was through this foundation that this body of work emerged.
Physically, a “Construct” is a construction made of multiple layers of plywood creating a varied surface which often includes convex and/or concave architectural forms. That surface is then covered over with lengths of hardwood which vary in width and depth. These lengths are attached side by side and painted over with a rubbed acrylic color finish. The result is a 3D architectural surface in which form projects and recedes across the facade and combines with color and cast shadows in creating a complex visual resonance. It is a hybrid of painting, sculpture and architecture and appears as a tactile surface in the midst of a chromatically rich atmosphere which leads the viewer into the beautiful, complex and meditative world of pure color and form.
Symbolically a Construct becomes a metaphor for the complexity of form even within the simplest idea of form itself—the line. Color variation and the harmony and dissonance caused by it’s placement and the 3 dimensionality of the work itself, all reinforce this complexity. Viewing the piece directly can obscure whether the piece is physically protruding or receding. That in combination with the color temperature of the particular line, all act to create an impression of what is happening on the surface. Yet viewed from an angle and it becomes something entirely different and we realize that what was interpreted to be coming forward was actually receding or the reverse— what appeared as a simple line of color is actually a complex layering of color, physical depth, and shadow. It’s until we have viewed the piece from all sides that we can see the fullness of the piece for what it really is.

Pals - Two Bicycles Abstract Geometric Mixed Media Painting on Wood
By Rebecca Klundt
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Rebecca Klundt’s "Pals" uncovers the unique beauty of original paintings, geometric abstractions, and textural mixed-media art. This 32-inch high by 25-inch wide artwork transforms reclaimed wood into a stunning assemblage finished with layers of acrylic paint, highlighting Klundt's commitment to sustainability and creative renewal. Perfect for lovers of eco-friendly art and modern textural compositions, "Pals" features a playful yet sophisticated design of figures composed of bold lines and shapes against a distressed wood-texture background.
Klundt’s use of found materials and geometric patterns creates a sense of harmony and order, while the vibrant accents of orange and teal bring dynamic energy to this visually captivating piece.
Key Features:
> Mixed-Media Assemblage: Crafted from reclaimed wood and layered with acrylic paint, resulting in a textured, geometric composition.
> Compact Statement Size: At 32 x 25 inches, this original artwork is ideal for adding a unique touch to smaller spaces or as part of a gallery wall.
> Eco-Friendly Art: Made with sustainable materials, reflecting Klundt’s passion for repurposing and renewal.
> Ready to Hang: Mounted on a sturdy wood panel, wired, and painted on the sides, eliminating the need for additional framing.
> Authenticity Guaranteed: Signed on the back by Rebecca Klundt, with a certificate of authenticity included.
About the Artist:
Rebecca Klundt, a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, holds a BFA from Brigham Young University and is widely recognized for her innovative use of reclaimed materials in art. Inspired by the natural world and the process of transformation, Klundt creates abstract works that explore themes of renewal, order, and the beauty of lines. Her artistic philosophy embraces using "the unusable" and turning discarded materials into thoughtful, organized compositions.
Drawing from the textures and fissures of Utah’s slick rock formations, Klundt’s works are a testament to her love of significant lines and her ability to imbue each piece with a sense of natural balance and human ingenuity.
Why "Pals" Stands Out:
Rebecca Klundt’s "Pals" is a perfect example of her ability to merge sustainability with contemporary art. Its playful geometric forms and eco-conscious construction make it an ideal addition for collectors seeking modern, textural art that tells a story of creativity and renewal.
"Pals", a one-of-a-kind original mixed-media painting by Rebecca Klundt adds sustainable elegance to any home or office space. This unique, eco-friendly artwork celebrates the beauty of reclaimed materials and modern abstraction.
Klundt's artworks have been exhibited in Utah and California and have been collected throughout the USA.
