Abstract geometric painting with a cool toned palette of green, blue, and grey with accents of black and white against a sea foam green colored acrylic wash background "Blue and Grey Green Plan" made by Hudson Valley artists, Donise English, in 2022 Graphite, colored pencil, and acrylic painting on vellum 24 x 18 inches unframed, 31 x 25 x 1.5 with an 8-ply white mat, non-glare plexi, and simple black moulding Signed, verso Excellent condition and ready to hang This abstract geometric painting on vellum was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Donise English, in 2022. The composition begins with a blue green toned background of acrylic wash. A grid of box-like patterns in sky blue, green, grey, and black with white line work are stacked to create an irregular shape or an "imagined city grid", says the artist. The painting on vellum is complemented by a simple black frame with an 8-ply white mat, non-glare plexi, and wire backing. It's in excellent condition and ready to hang. About the artist: Donise English emphasizes lines, grids, and fields of subtle color to evoke imagined places and invented structures. While precise lines and straight angles are often associated with themes in architecture and urban planning designs, English conveys a geometric motif guided by intuition rather than a ruler. Variations on grids retain flaws and unmistakable traces of the artists’ hand; her style of draftsmanship shies away from intellectualism and instead makes her compositions feel very personal. A central checkerboard formation floats over a ground of pastel color or washes of grey or cream. Each design is intensely intricate, incorporating gouache, acrylic, pen, graphite, ink and colored pencil. The artist recently retired from her decades career teaching at Marist College and is now devoted full time to her art making. Artist Statement: My work is about the way visual diagrams present information that describes how something is made or the way it is. I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.

Dancing Bears at Dusk is a contemporary acrylic painting on premium 400gsm Fabriano paper by Gozo Collective, blending nature-inspired abstraction with surrealist minimalism. The composition presents a series of stylized bear figures engaged in an enigmatic dance beneath a luminous, gradient sky shifting from deep crimson to violet and cobalt blue. The minimalist horizon, rendered in layered shades of cool blue, evokes a meditative sense of space while amplifying the dreamlike atmosphere. This work explores the intersection of biophilia, symbolic narrative, and contemporary landscape painting. The silhouetted animal forms—poised between figuration and abstraction—recall ancient rituals, collective memory, and the human longing for connection and joy. The saturated chromatic contrasts create a dynamic visual tension, while the soft atmospheric transitions invite a contemplative viewing experience. Executed with precision and painterly restraint, the piece embodies Gozo Collective’s signature approach: poetic compositions that merge emotional resonance with formal clarity. Suitable for both contemporary interiors and curated art collections, it can be displayed unframed for a raw, modern presence or framed to enhance its depth and vibrancy.

RUBBER JUNGLE I 2022 Paris, France A graphic and bold abstract painting. Primarily black and white acrylic painted on canvas. Neutral and modern, with loose, playful and energetic movement. Inspired by childhood interpretations of shapes in the dark - there is a sense of unknown when the imagination takes over. Subtle color comes into play with accents of Indian ink, dried terra cotta pigment and sage green paint. Option to create a pair alongside "Rubber Jungle II" (as pictured). Price and size are per painting. Evans Deventer stamp and signature on back. We are happy to offer subsidized shipping options. -- Nicholas Evans (b. 1982) is an American, Paris-based artist, designer and creative director. Painting is a cornerstone of Evans’ artistic expression, which is largely inspired by personal events, religious symbolism, and historical allegories. In addition to traditional oil and acrylics, Evans uses materials such as plasters, wax, salt and found objects in his works, presenting a way to seek new meaning in elements that have collapsed or eroded over time. Threads of poetry convey the fragmented logic of suffering, lost love...
