About the Item

Large-Scale Multicolored Gestural Abstraction with Circle in Acrylic on Canvas Abstract composition by Ellis Hopkins (American, b. 1952). This bold abstraction explores spatial tension and rhythmic balance through sweeping gestural forms and a saturated color palette. Broad swaths of black carve dynamic negative space across vibrant fields of red, blue, magenta, and green, while circular motion anchors the composition in perpetual flux. Reminiscent of Kandinsky and Hofmann and Emily Sillman, the piece celebrates the interplay of spontaneity and structure within a modernist vocabulary. Signed "Ellis" lower right corner. No frame. From a collection of the artist's work. Canvas size: 52"H x 66"W Ellis Hopkins (American, b. 1952) was born in Lawrence, Kansas, but spent most of her life in California. She lived in Monterey and Carmel Valley, where she was a prolific painter, focusing mostly on gestural abstraction, color blocking, and abstracted still lifes. She studied at the Carmel Art Institute. Exhibitions: 1981, Monterey Conference Center, Monterey, CA 1974, Pacific Grove Art Center, Pacific Grove, CA
