"Multiverse #16" - Framed Geometric Contemporary Abstract Painting

2022

About the Item

Comes framed and ready to hang in black floater frame. Artist’s Statement: “These paintings are technically challenging, as they combine wax (encaustic), tar, oil, acrylic, powdered graphite and other media. They are painted on fiber panels that can actually be carved into, something canvas doesn't allow. I have shown and sold them mostly in New Orleans, but as I do with all my work I make some in the series available online so that others will have an opportunity to collect them and they will not all stay here in the city. There are now examples in fine collections in Madrid, London, Beirut and other places, which gratifies me. I have listed a number of these Multiverse paintings on 1stDibs, and you can see others by searching this site." “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift (On prior series by the artist): “These paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 Painting comes in a black float frame, ready to hang.

  • "Sonata in Three Colors" - Contemporary Multimedia Abstract Painting
    By G. Campbell Lyman
    Located in New Orleans, LA
    Artist's statement: "Separate from the tar paintings I have been doing, I am creating a series of work in which I am channeling some of the things I have always loved about Cy Twombly along with qualities of a painting I saw in a local collection by a Cuban painter that I really admired and have thought about a lot since. Of course both share a graffiti quality; Twombly was the first to work with a sort of automatic drawing, beginning in the 1950s, and what he did opened up this new language for countless painters. You still see traces of it in so much contemporary art. Antoni Tapies has been a big influence on me as well, and you can see some of him in this work as well. I limited the color palette in this one as a sort of exercise in discipline, since it is easy to let color get away from you in a painting like this one. There are areas of three-dimensional paint that help flatten the picture plane and restrict the eye from reading depth into the painting; they function in the same way as Barnett Newman's 'zips' and Susan Rothenberg's lines across some of her horse images...

  • "Centinela", Acrylic on Wood Panel by Contemporary Artist, José Palacios, 2019
    By Jose Palacios
    Located in Madrid, ES
    JOSÉ PALACIOS Spanish, 1970 - CENTINELA signed "JOSÉ PALACIOS" (lower right) signed again "JAPALACIOS" (on the reverse) acrylic, spray, wax and graphite on wood panel 39-1/2 X 39-1/2 inches (100 X 100 cm.) unframed. CENTINELA A window to a park, or an important avenue of a large city can be a source of inspiration to create works of art. The behaviors of our peers give rise to creating stories that can be reflected in music, cinema and of course, in a painting. José Palacios was born in 1970. Influenced by the Spanish artists of the 80s belonging to the Madrid Movement, he began his artistic career linking the world of Painting and Illustration. Years later, Palacios developed a figurative style combining neo-cubism and pop art. His current work is based on a combination of abstraction with pop art winks made with a palette of refreshing and bold colors. His works are present in different private collections in Europe, United States and Asia. José Palacios work has been exhibited at Wanrooij Art Gallery (Amsterdam, Holland), Bridge Gallery (Beijing, China), Art Angler Gallery / New York, USA), Plastique Art Gallery (Madrid), Actual Arte Contemporáneo & Galería Luis Carvajal...

  • Utterance boundaries. Abstract mixed media painting on canvas.
    By On Hansen
    Located in Miami Beach, FL
    Utterance boundaries, 2022 by On Hansen Oil wax, acrylic, graphite, organic ink, and crayon on canvas. Image size: 48 in. H x 36 in. W Mounted on a stretcher ____________________________ On Hansen originally from Scandinavia is the pseudonym used by the photographer Cristian Hunter, a third-generation artist who has spent most of his professional career as a photographer. His work bears the traces of lived experiences, exploring the possibilities of formal abstraction, and seeking an organic experience between space and time through painting and photography. “There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving meaning to an infinite number of objects.
