About the Item

With both cultural icons and world events often acting as inspiration, Soren Grau strives to communicate meaning through both figures and colors. Each of his artworks conveys both personal meaning and ambiguity, to be interpreted differently by each person. The pure pleasure of creating is the driving force behind his painting. He believes that art need not be complicated, and that art is for everyone. This 20 inch square painting is framed in a white modern frame and is ready to hang. The size and price include the frame. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Soren Grau is an artist from Denmark who has lived and worked in Los Angeles for the past 12 years. He paints in a street art-inspired Neo-expressionist style inspired by artists such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Rather than focusing on mainstream art-house, Soren’s work instead engages the viewer with color and symbolism. “Whatever an artist does, they put a piece of their soul into the artwork,” explains Grau. “In that way you can show who you really are. You can make yourself individual by creating something unique that is a part of you but that can also be a part of those who see it and experience it.” Soren, who is a self-taught artist, has during his lifelong career won numerous industry awards for his aesthetically pleasing style, graphics and colors. His artworks are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been collected by international companies, including Red Bull, HBO, Toyota, and FX (Fox), as well as by private art lovers.

Original Colorful Pink Birds Flowers Expressionist Painting - This Is My Jungle
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Urban abstract expressionism artist Tommy Lennartsson draws on the visual culture of street and pop art when creating his original vibrant mixed-media artworks. He employs a mix of abstract and figurative elements that give nods to neo-expressionism, faux-naїf, pop, and geometric abstraction schools of art. Lennartsson builds up his canvases with charcoal, acrylic, ink, and spray paint, and occasionally sews and stitches elements together to create striking scenes that ignite the viewer’s imagination. This one-of-a-kind 47-inch high by 59-inch wide original artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The sides of this artwork are painted and it does not require framing. The artist signs it on the back of the painting. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Color interactions and the interplay of light and darkness are important to Lennartsson. By combining materials such as found fabrics Lennartsson creates a patchwork with different elements for his expressionist canvases. The unique and playful compositions range from geometrical forms to figures, objects, and pop culture icons layered over fluid gestural expressions. Because of his intuitive style, no two works are the same, each exploring something fresh and exciting. “When I look at my paintings, I’m taken back to my childhood of endless doodling on my bedroom floor,” the artist describes. His work has been featured in the Spanish arts and culture magazine Lamono and was selected as the cover art for the Spring 2019 issue of New England Review. Lennartsson has exhibited extensively in both group and solo shows worldwide, including in the US, Canada, Europe, Japan, and China.
