Laudato, Praise, original 30x40 abstract expressionist landscape
By Dmitri Wright
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
A bright, exciting day deserving of "laudato," praise, was the challenge for this abstract expressionist oil painting by artist Dmitri Wright, who also used impressionist and contemporary elements to create the mood of giving unlimited praise not specific in time or place. Feeling the healing light and inspiration emanating from the yellows and whites, with saturated colors in contrast, coupled with the impasto texture and the artist's confident brush strokes, the result is a contemporary oil painting that will never grow old or tired. It will be forever be an inspiration and reminder of the greater good.

Visione Mistica, original 36x48 contemporary landscape
By Dmitri Wright
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
Visione Mistica, Mystical Vision, is an introspective, contemporary, original oil painting reminiscent of the 1960s, resplendent with explosive colors and imagery that commands both attention and consideration. The 36x48 scale of the dynamic landscape, combined with the magical reds, could carry any neutral room that's calling for a pop of joy and color! The artist has gallery wrapped this contemporary work of art on a stretcher with a 1.5" return to keep a transitional, open feeling throughout the painting. Alternately, it could be framed if you prefer a larger overall size for your space.

Untitled Dynamic Colorful Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting, Israeli-American
Located in Surfside, FL
Nachume Miller (1949–1998) was a German born Israeli artist who immigrated to New York City in 1973, where he made a name for himself in the American Modern Art scene. Miller immigrated to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts, where he would later become a professor of painting and drawing. He was quickly identified as a star on the rise and at the age of 29, was included in the Guggenheim Museum’s “Young American Artists,” Exxon National Exhibition. A decade later he was granted a solo show at the Museum of Modern Art, where his work is now part of the permanent collection. Though his career was cut short by his untimely death in 1998, Nachume exhibited at some of the most prominent galleries in New York and around the world.
Miller's parents were both Holocaust survivors. His father was a captain in the front lines of the Russian Army during World War II and his mother was a Lithuanian who had once been held captive in a concentration camp. Both escaped the Nazis, re-united and fled to Israel. Nahum was born during their voyage, in Frankfurt, Germany, on January 28, 1949. He grew up in the town of Holon, Israel, where he was inspired by his father who spent most of his post-war days carving elaborate wood sculptures of Cubist human forms. Nachum, on the contrary, excelled in painting.
By the age of 16, Miller was painting elaborate surreal dream lands referencing religion, politics and the history of Modern Art. His earlier works show similarities to Hieronymus Bosch, Salvador Dali and Francisco Goya. Miller was enlisted in the Israeli Army where he worked as one of Ariel Sharon's personal assistants and also fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He went to New York in 1966 to study at the School of Visual Arts, and joined the faculty in 1977 to teach painting and drawing. He was enlisted in the Israeli Army and fought in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. That same year, he received a scholarship from the Israeli-American Cultural Foundation. He married his girlfriend Ruth and moved to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts. In 1977, he joined the faculty to teach painting and drawing.
Over the next two decades, Nachume was prolific in the range of media, styles, and references he incorporated into his art. His paintings and three-dimensional works pay homage to artists throughout history, from the classical Greeks to Robert Rauschenberg. He prioritized craft over concept and was a disciplined painter, never neglecting workmanship in favor of a trend. His work is marked with curiosity, sincerity and intensity.
Cara McCarty, an assistant curator in the department of architecture and design, organized the current show. It reveals Mr. Miller as someone who finds common ground with both Turner and Jackson Pollock - with the former's Romantic re-creations of storms at sea and with the latter's search for content in abstract gesture.
