About the Item

"Three Purples" 2019 Oil on Canvas 36 x 36 Inches Vividly colored Abstract Expressionist painting filled with light and energy, primarily in white, blue, chartreuse, yellow, orange and purple. This painting is unframed and framing is not necessary as the sides are painted white. Cathy Bennigson is a Boston area artist who recently re-located to Maine. She studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, received a BA from the University of California, Berkeley in 1967, and an MA from Stanford University in 1969. Bennigson's brilliant, exuberant abstractions are evocative of the great Abstract Expressionists of the 1940s - 1960s, particularly Willem de Kooning, Hans Hofmann and Joan Mitchell, but the work is consistently fresh and personal. The artist's touch is unique, her colors rich and intense, and these paintings sparkle. Cathy Bennigson's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions throughout New England and are included in many fine collections.

"Yellow Language" Contemporary Abstract Painting with lavender, blue and violet
By Debra Drexler
Located in New York, NY
60"x48" abstract composition in golden yellow with lavender, violet and light cream. Large gestural movements overlay one and other on the on canvas. The painting surface incorporates impasto brushwork and poured paint to give an active composition. This painting is signed on reverse by the artist, Debra Drexler. Debra Drexler maintains studios in both New York and Oahu, Hawaii, and her work is informed by her unique bi-coastal experience. In her luminous, large-scale abstract paintings, she brings the transcendent experience of the Hawaiian landscape to a New York audience. Through her New York based studio and curatorial practices, she is also deeply engaged in critical conversation surrounding new abstraction. She states “Abstraction takes us to a state of timelessness that is primal in its humanity, disconnecting us momentarily from the mediated “now” of our electronic devices, and connecting us to a “now” that gives us a glimpse of the infinite. While our insistent digital projections can take us away from both our animal and spiritual nature, abstract painting reminds us again of what it means to be human. The corporality of the paint mirrors the flesh of the body and transports us into the timeless.” Debra Drexler's paintings are informed both by participating in the contemporary resurgence of abstraction coming out of New York, and by living in the Post Colonial Pacific for close to three decades. In the 21st century, much of our experience is mediated through the screens of our devices. In contrast, the making and viewing of paintings remains a direct, engaging experience in Drexler's paintings. She aims to take us to a state of timelessness that is primal in its humanity, disconnecting us momentarily from the mediated “now” of our electronic devices, and connecting us to a “now” that gives us a glimpse of the infinite. As a colorist, Debra Drexler provokes unexpected color relationships and creates spatial contradictions that come from those interactions. Some of her color choices reference the post digital experience with its highly saturated synthetic color. The luminosity and saturation also mirror the unique quality of light and tropical color interactions in Hawai’i, where Drexler also lives. Her work is driven by an athletic painting...

"Variation" Abstract Painting in Blue, Purple and Yellow with Great Mark Making
By Hyunmee Lee
Located in Baltimore, MD
"My art practice crosses three continents over two decades. The works consider the images and ideas that mark my journey into the spiritual and cultural dimensions of painting as a creative activity. During a period when I have carried adventurous journeys across several different social and geographic divides, I began to search deeper for an understanding of who I am, and where I am. My paintings started to explore the idea of self as the most fundamental element of human nature; I tried to seek my identity as I examined human nature." Hyunmee Lee was born in Seoul Korea, where she grew up practicing Western Modern art with experience in Eastern painting...
