Untitled Geometric Abstraction Minimalist painting unique signed renowned artist
By Winston Roeth
Located in New York, NY
An exquisite work of geometric abstraction by this celebrated artist
Winston Roeth
Untitled, ca. 1996
Pastel on handmade paper
Hand signed on the front
Frame included: Floated and framed in the original wood frame with uv plexiglass
Measurements:
Framed:
13.5"h x 12.75"w
Artwork:
10"h x 9"w
More about Winston Roeth:
At first glance Roeth’s painted panels of wood or slate appear very simple: flat planes of colour that look a certain way, but which shift in the changing light or as you move around them. They are exquisitely painted in layers of velvety pigment and reveal their secrets slowly: quiet combinations that play gentle tricks on the eye - simultaneously drawing the viewer into dense voids and bouncing the gaze back with a vibrant intensity. Roeth’s compositions are distilled to this apparent simplicity through the most minimal ingredients. Sometimes a picture is divided into grids, a geometric harmony of lines and colours, so that the matt expanse of paint is broken up by shimmeringly luminous lines in a perfect balance of light, depth and colour. Others combine planes of a single colour with a contradictory border: an edge on which the picture turns. In a world so accustomed to instant gratification Winston Roeth’s paintings require and reward an unusual level of contemplation.
Roeth is based in Beacon, New York...

In 1986, Nassos Daphnis was 71 years old when he booted up the computer for the first time and he was soon conversant enough with the machine’s capacity to use it fluently in his work. He was launched as a pioneer — one of the very first artist to adopt the resources of the new technology into the hitherto slow developing processes of paintings.
It was the winter of 1985. Nassos Daphnis was getting an idea down on paper for a new abstract work in his West Broadway studio. The idea was burning bright, but his work processes were painstaking, indeed finicky. He complained to his son, Demetri, about the endless frustration of being unable to render this Eureka! moment as swiftly as required. The son introduced the father to an Atari ST computer. Call this Eureka moment, Part II. Daphnis was seventy-one years old when he booted up a computer for the first time and he was soon conversant enough with the machine’s capacities to use it fluently in his work. He was launched as a pioneer — one of the veryfirst artists to adapt the resources of the new technology into the hitherto slow-developing processes of painting.

Bring audacious experiments with color and textures to your living room, dining room or home office. Abstract paintings, large or small, will stand out in your space, encouraging conversation and introducing a museum-like atmosphere that’s welcoming and conducive to creating memorable gatherings.
Abstract art has origins in 19th-century Europe, but it came into its own as a significant movement during the 20th century. Early practitioners of abstraction included Wassily Kandinsky, although painters were exploring nonfigurative art prior to the influential Russian artist’s efforts, which were inspired by music and religion. Abstract painters endeavored to create works that didn’t focus on the outside world’s conventional subjects, and even when artists depicted realistic subjects, they worked in an abstract mode to do so.
In 1940s-era New York City, a group of painters working in the abstract mode created radical work that looked to European avant-garde artists as well as to the art of ancient cultures, prioritizing improvisation, immediacy and direct personal expression. While they were never formally affiliated with one another, we know them today as Abstract Expressionists.
The male contingent of the Abstract Expressionists, which includes Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, is frequently cited in discussing leading figures of this internationally influential postwar art movement. However, the women of Abstract Expressionism, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and others, were equally involved in the art world of the time. Sexism, family obligations and societal pressures contributed to a long history of their being overlooked, but the female Abstract Expressionists experimented vigorously, developed their own style and produced significant bodies of work.
Draw your guests into abstract oil paintings across different eras and countries of origin. On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive range of abstract paintings along with a guide on how to arrange your wonderful new wall art.
If you’re working with a small living space, a colorful, oversize work can create depth in a given room, but there isn’t any need to overwhelm your interior with a sprawling pièce de résistance. Colorful abstractions of any size can pop against a white wall in your living room, but if you’re working with a colored backdrop, you may wish to stick to colors that complement the decor that is already in the space. Alternatively, let your painting make a statement on its own, regardless of its surroundings, or group it, gallery-style, with other works.
