David Cantine
Still Life Green No 1 - bright, geometric minimalist, acrylic on plexiglass

2000

About the Item

Four precisely configured and stacked circles form a contemplative pyramid at the foot of a square white ground. The areas between the shapes in this minimalist still life acrylic on plexiglass are filled with cream and maroon. Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. His paintings may take up to two years to complete. This work is currently unframed. Please ask us about framing. This painting may also be exhibited on a designed ledge that accompanies the painting. Cantine may be referred to as a post-minimalist, a term coined by Robert Pincus-Witten in 1971 to describe work with a minimalist tendency but that uses modest materials and aims towards a pure formalist aesthetic. David Cantine is a senior Canadian painter who has been exploring the still life for many years. Cantine was born in Jackson, Michigan (1939) and studied at the University of Iowa (BFA, MA) before moving to Alberta and working as a professor in the Department of Art and Design at the University of Alberta (1965 – 96). His work has been exhibited at the Art Gallery of Alberta, FAB Gallery, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art among others and is represented in numerous private and public collections.

Zen Garden - bright, floral, impasto, abstract expressionist, acrylic on canvas
By Adam Cohen
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Rendered in pink, lemon, green, and blue this abstract painting with a floral motif is by Adam Cohen. Thickly applied expressive brushstrokes in a bright palette bring a palpable energy to this lively, joyful painting that resembles a floral tapestry. Cohen likes to cut into wet paint with a palette knife to create visible texture. Pink, lemon, green, and blue flower petals overlap one another in a luscious visual display. “… I like abstract painting. I can create accidents. And then I can edit in or out what I like. Use them as a springboard. A place to build the rest of the painting around. I create paintings that feel deeply personal to me. Somehow I always know when they are done.” Adam Cohen “A painting by Adam Cohen is like a sudden burst of light. Vision is dazzled by a surface alive with color, swarming with incident. As you approach the canvas, it feels as if it were coming forward to meet you, to immerse you in a field of visual energy.” Carter Ratcliff, Art Critic Adam Cohen studied at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art and lived and painted in Rome for a year. After many successful years as an illustrator in NYC, he returned to his first love...

“Silver Spider Spirit”acrylic and silver leaf on mylar framed abstract painting
By Peggy Cyphers
Located in New York, NY
This abstract composition in blue and brown black earthtones is created with a unique perspective which gives a feeling of looking up at a sky or looking down into merging paths of water. Cyphers use of silver leaf gives the central forms a reflective glow, which balances well with her masterful brushwork and mark making. This painting has a meditative quality that draws the viewer in and allows for introspective thought. Peggy Cyphers, “Silver Spider Spirit”acrylic and silver leaf on mylar ($2750 USD framed in shadowbox frame with museum glass) Peggy Cyphers has had over 30 solo exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe since 1984.
