About the Item

Anita Johnson Untitled (Red Construct), c. 1960s Oil on canvas Framed dimensions: 31 in. H × 25 in. W Original artist-selected silver-toned floater frame In Untitled (Red Construct), Anita Johnson explores the expressive potential of form and color with architectural precision and painterly warmth. The composition is a dynamic arrangement of interlocking biomorphic shapes rendered in bold crimson, coral, and oxblood, softened by neutral grounds of taupe and cream. Each form is outlined with assertive black linework, creating a rhythmic network that pulses with energy and internal balance. This painting is a standout example of Johnson’s mid-century abstract style—one that fuses the influence of Cubism and West Coast color fields with her own unique sensibility rooted in modern design and emotional geometry. The palette feels both visceral and elegant, while the structure suggests interiority, containment, and quiet tension. Presented in its original brushed metal floater frame, this piece is both a time capsule of postwar abstraction and a timeless formalist meditation. Johnson’s command of edge, hue, and negative space is on full display in this work, making it an ideal acquisition for collectors of mid-century American abstraction and underrepresented female voices in modern art. Provenance: Private collection, Upstate New York

Untitled, Acrylic on Canvas, Pink, Red by Contemporary Indian Artist"In Stock"
By Amit Kalla
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Amit Kalla - Untitled - 24 x 24 inches (unframed size) Acrylic on Canvas ** Free Shipment ...... will be delivered in rolled form. Style : Kalla’s work can be represented by his commitment to experimenting with social engagement through the arts. It is here his strength lies. Through his deep connection to a cultural expression of a universal spirituality and passionate sense of humanity Kalla, continuously draws people from all communities into acts of creativity in the belief that through creativity people are empowered and communities move incrementally closer to truth. His poetry and paintings are spiritually intuited. While his poems create a secretive world of words, where silence speaks his paintings are calligraphic and draw on the same silent unknowing of invented texts. His paintings represent moments on the continuum; a slice snatched from his deeper hidden journey. The strength of Kalla’s work is that it represents an Indian artist’s quest for an indigenous tenor rather than a superficial inventory of native motifs, there is nothing about his work which relies on a static Indian Identity. About the Artist & his work : Born : 1980 in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Education : 2005 - Masters in Art and Aesthetics from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi 2003 - Graduation in Art History, National Museum Institute specializing in ancient Indian art...
