Solace, Abstract Painting

2022

Artist Comments
Part of a new series of abstract landscapes by artist Gary J. Noland Jr. conveying a message of peace and calm. Bold stripes of complementing cool and earth tones cut across a vertical orientation. "It continues an ongoing investigation of what a painting is and what a painting can be with the use of color, space, and composition."

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.
