About the Item

A37, 2011 Acrylic on canvas 19.80h x 19.80w in Alejandro Thornton was born in 1970 in Buenos Aires. His work can be found in notable international collections including at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Barcelona (MACB), Sakima Art Museum in Japan, Florean Museum in Romania, Kosmos Kultur Foundation in Switzerland, and The Embassy of Holland in Buenos Aires. He has been the recipient of numerous awards including the Premio Videoarte Bienal Nacional de Bahia Blanca (2013), Premio Nacional de Puntura UADE (2013), Bollini Fundation Award (2012), Palermo Viejo Awards (1999), First Place Prize Prilidiano Pueyrredón Awards, Borges Art Center (1998). Alejandro Thornton’s practice is rooted in the origin of language and the achievement of the word and image together throughout history. In much of Thornton’s drawings and paintings, A – the origin of the alphabet – is spread throughout the canvas. His drawings and paintings employ simple and playful curvilinear brushstrokes in an all-over fashion. Such works are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum in comparison to the artists highly conceptual “A” paintings. In conjunction with each other, these two types of works nod to the inherent issues with abstract expressionism, which is decorative and highly accessible, yet infinitely less conceptual.

  • Phenomena Greet by Day by Paul Jenkins - Abstract Expressionist painting
    By Paul Jenkins
    Located in London, GB
    Phenomena Greet by Day by Paul Jenkins (1923-2012) Acrylic on canvas 146 x 114.3 cm (57 ½ x 45 inches) Signed lower right, Paul Jenkins Executed in 1994-1996 Provenance: Private collection, New York (acquired directly from the artist) Stern Pissarro Gallery, London Private collection, Netherlands Artist biography Born at Kansas City in Missouri (USA), the multi-media artist, poet and playwright Paul Jenkins studied at the Kansas City Art Institute and the Art Students League in New York City. After his discharge from military service at the end of February 1946, he briefly studied playwriting with dramatist George McCalmon at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. Thereafter, Jenkins spent four years studying with Japanese American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi in New York City. His first solo exhibitions were held at Studio Paul Facchetti in Paris in 1954 and the Martha Graham Gallery in New York City in 1956. Over the past thirty years, numerous retrospectives have been curated across the globe and Jenkins’ work can found in national collections from Europe and the United States to Israel, Australia and Japan. The diversity of his work springs from Jenkins’ wealth of eclectic influences. Some of his earliest works included what he called "interior landscapes" influenced by ancient natural forms like the caves he visited in the Ozark Mountains in his native-Missouri. Frequent student visits to the Frick Collection in New York fostered a love of the great masters: Bellini, Holbein, Vermeer, Rembrandt, de la Tour, Turner and Goya. In compliment, lingering student visits to the renowned Eastern collection of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City evoked powerful sympathy for a monumental Chinese fresco...
