About the Item

Multicolored contemporary Moroccan abstract painting by Bachir Amal. Acrylic, mixed media on canvas. Size: 29 x 30 inches - Offered unframed. Amal Bachir is a Moroccan Postwar and Contemporary artist born in 1954. Modernism in painting in the contemporary era has become a pure, self-referential art. In many abstract paintings, the canvas transforms itself to give a pure, indeterminable perceptive in which one cannot distinguish between ‘top’ and ‘bottom’. Amal’s painting operates according to this perspective. It has a distinguished, contemporary inclination toward adopting the principle of equivalence or interchangeability. Amal’s paintings do not communicate a message or a point of view. Instead, it invites the viewer to partake in a sort of foreclosure or obliteration of significance. That is, to put aside the content (subjects, themes, patterns) to focus on procedures, forms, and stylistic traits as visual possibilities. It is a silent ceremony of total lucidity, where creativity makes color light, and form a festive celebration of the painter’s performance and skill. “My paintings are inspired by the blessing of a moment or the hospitality of a place,” says Amal. The experience of Amal’s work reveals a muteness that cancels the ordinary whisper of feelings and the elusive reflection of a state of mind. With its assemblage, collage, and sampling, the pictorial work alone constitutes the organizing principle that structures and orders the work’s stylistic unity, revealing shapes (squares, triangles, crescents) and graphics (Tafinagh symbols).

Domina - Pink, blue & yellow striped abstract painting
By Mark Zimmermann
Located in East Quogue, NY
Pink multicolor striped abstract painting by Mark Zimmermann - Acrylic and graphite on canvas in artist frame. Signed on back by the artist. Mark Zimmermann's work is based on the fusion of meditative fields, architectonic structures and an organic gestural line that is one-part intentional and one-part accidental. Zimmermann clearly demonstrates his deftness of hand though labored bands of color, building and editing one band upon other, until the editing process renders compositions that combine both hard-edge and action-painting abstraction. In discussing this work, the editor and writer, Larry Qualls noted,“...a majestic landscape narrative... they illuminate the nature of painting itself. In a sense what these paintings do is bring a synthesis of the conceptual and the realistic; it is as if there is the conflux of two grand traditions: the purely abstract and the purely objective.” Mark Zimmermann has exhibited his paintings across the United States and abroad. His work is held in private and public collections such as JW Marriott Essex House...
