Drawing No. 33, 2024 (Flamingo Collection), Abstract Painting
By John Diehl
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Thin black lines divide a triangle into segments. The minimalistic piece captures artist John Diehl's blend of geometric precision and freehand artistry, marked by simplicity and structural elegance. The artwork is part of his Flamingo Project, where he explored nomadic art-making by creating and exhibiting art in remote desert locations rather than traditional galleries. John started the series in early 2024 from Palm Springs and culminated in Wonder Valley.The artwork measures 12 by 9 inches, matted and framed to 14 by 11 inches, with a 6 3/4-inch by 5 11/16-inch mat opening and the signature placed beneath the mat.
