Gary J. Noland Jr.
Mad Mad World II, Abstract Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
Part of artist Gary J. Noland Jr.'s ongoing Mad Mad World series. An expressive abstract with multiple layers of paint expressed in waves predominantly in blue, white, and black. Upon closer look, meticulous details peek through in red, salmon, and yellow. "These paintings examine the fear and anger caused by the Covid-19 pandemic."


About the Artist
Gary’s rich abstract paintings are most often inspired by the texture of an aged floor or the surface of an old wall. “I've worked in the Quality Department of a few manufacturing plants,” says Gary, “And the floors of these places have wonderful patinas and compositions from layers of paint and tape that have been scratched or worn down over many years.” Although Gary’s artworks are non-representational, every composition has a story or theme that develops during his creative process. Each splash and scrape of paint is representative of a reflective investigation of Gary’s artistic self.

    Artist Comments
    Artist Linda Cassidy employs organically organized geometric forms in an alluring abstract. She uses organic shapes in a distinct dance-like relationship with one another. An evocative feeling permeates within her expressively distinct outlines—shapes in shades of deep purple and red balance the muted colorway.
