About the Item
Arizona artist Gail Titus paints vibrant, abstract compositions in acrylic on canvas with a focus on textures, colors and abstract color(-field) compositions. The visual element of her multi-dimensional textures defines the intricate surface quality of her artwork, and the physical and emotional energy of the artist and her subject.
This large, one-of-a-kind dynamic and textural painting is diptych measuring 48 inches tall by 96 inches wide. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this highly textural black, white and blue artwork are painted as a continuation of the front. It does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique painting.
After working as a ceramic artist for more than twenty years creating wall sculptures and commissioned installation work, Gail Titus has been focusing more extensively into pursuing her long time interest in abstract painting. Her detailed studies of abstract painting techniques lead Gail Titus to develop works on canvas using acrylic paint and a carefully chosen mix of unconventional tools and techniques. The primary focus has been on surface development and exploring textures.
The geometric planes of her artworks and the texture in her movements are boldly hatched in contours of energetic brushstrokes, developing new expressive abstractions in color and texture. She sends the viewer on a journey of discovery across the painting surface to continually re-discover the the depth of the colors, structures, and textures.
She resides in Tucson, AZ and La Jolla, CA. Her artworks have been acquired by corporations and private collectors throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. They have been featured on hit TV shows such as "The Catch" on ABC.
