Erick Johnson "Double Up" Oil on Canvas Abstract Painting

About the Item

"What has long inspired me is the interplay between color and form. The exploration of chromatic relationships merged with form is endless. My painterly space adheres to the picture plane but has intimations of atmosphere and depth. Each work starts from a neutral beginning, developing a deeper particularity that evokes a resonance of place, feeling and memory. Irregular polygons, slotted together imperfectly, are my building blocks, which result in slivers of white ground, suggesting movement and mutability. The surface is scraped, dragged, rubbed and layered, leaving the painting process visible. The colors are compound layers of different pigments and hues. I combine the colors into arrangements and combinations, akin to musical chords. My process begins analytically and ends intuitively as color and its effects are not reducible to logic. Abstraction is like an open-ended question that can never be answered definitively. I honor these possibilities and invite the viewer to complete the work with their response." - Erick Johnson

Deborah Dancy "Believe it or Not" - Abstract Oil Painting on Canvas
By Deborah Dancy
Located in New York, NY
Deborah Dancy Believe it or Not, 2021 oil on canvas 32 x 34 in. (dan029) This original contemporary abstract painting by Deborah Dancy is comprised of hues of light pink, lime green, grey, and maroon in her signature built up/re-built space that as she says, "operate in a realm in which beauty and tension simultaneously exist without explanation or narrative." Deborah Dancy is an abstract artist. Her paintings and drawings are sensuous provocations beset with marks that guide, then abruptly collide into confrontational slabs of color. There is an atmosphere of complex but urgent tension in her work, as she builds tangential linear demarcations, and abutting shapes, that provoke, entice and disrupt; -taking us everywhere and nowhere. From densely painted forms to more minimally declared images, Dancy’s work operates in the recognition that meanderings, intentional and accidental declarations are best when the beautiful and the disconcerting exist simultaneously. Dancy was born in Bessemer, Alabama and raised in Chicago, Illinois. She earned BFA from Illinois Wesleyan University and an MS and an MFA from Illinois State University. She is the recipient of John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, a Yaddo Fellow, and a National Endowment of the Arts NEFA award. Her work is in many collections including The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The Birmingham Museum of Art, The Hunter Museum and The Detroit Institute of Art.
