This original contemporary abstract oil painting by Gudrun Mertes-Frady features bold geometric shapes in vibrant shades of purple. blue, black, pink, and green.
"In my paintings, I use metallic pigments, like aluminum and graphite. I also use mica particles mixed with my colors to affect a kinetic quality of illusory motion depending from which angle the work is seen. I try to find out what the painting wants from me. I sometimes have the distinct feeling that I feed the canvas with color and form, and it either accepts my choice or it rejects it. So I flounder between trial and error until I make the right decision. I am always waiting for that instant in which the painting snaps into focus. I depend most of all on this gut feeling. Sometimes, the painting may respond favorably to one of my arbitrary choices, but I can’t agree just yet and I try to resist its choice. A battle begins. I always loose in the end. Only when I let go of my preconceptions and just follow, can I truly arrive at something new and surprising. I know this must sound very strange, but this is the relationship I have with my work. It needs me to bring it to life and I need it to keep me living, physically and spiritually."

- Deborah Dancy "It's Now or Never" - Abstract oil painting on canvasBy Deborah DancyLocated in New York, NYDeborah Dancy It's Now or Never, 2021 oil on canvas 22 x 22 in. (dan005) This original contemporary abstract painting by Deborah Dancy is comprised of hues of black, white, brown, blue and yellow 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." I like to deal with fragments. Because no matter what the thought would be if it were fully worked out, it wouldn’t be as good as the suggestion of a thought that the space gives you. Nothing fully worked out could be so arresting, spooky. — Anne...Category
