About the Item
“Passage 5, Western Theory” is an original abstract painting by celebrated Denver artist Dale Chisman, a leading figure in contemporary Colorado art. Created in 2005, this sophisticated oil on canvas reflects Chisman’s signature blend of expressive gesture, spatial tension, and nuanced color harmonies. The composition unfolds in warm, earthy tones—brown, ochre, orange, yellow, and cream—that move fluidly across the surface, creating a sense of movement, depth, and contemplative balance.
Chisman’s layered brushwork and intuitive forms suggest a dynamic internal landscape, characteristic of his late-career works where abstraction becomes both atmospheric and architectural. The painting invites viewers to explore shifting planes of color and subtle transitions, offering an experience that feels both meditative and boldly modern. Signed, titled, and dated 2005 on the reverse, the piece carries strong provenance and reflects the artist’s mature mastery of abstract language.
Presented in a custom wrapped canvas frame, this work is ready for installation in a contemporary, modern, or minimalist interior. Its refined palette, tactile surface, and thoughtful composition make it a compelling choice for collectors seeking museum-quality artworks by influential Colorado artists. “Passage 5, Western Theory” stands as an elegant and powerful example of Chisman’s enduring artistic legacy.
