Helen Bellaver
Abstract 64 - Abstract Expressionist Mixed Media (Black + Yellow + Cream)

2021

About the Item

"Abstract 64," is a contemporary Abstract painting by San Jose-based artist Helen Bellaver. In this work, Helen layers a medium onto her canvas or paper to create a subtle texture, which she then layers her acrylic paint on to create depth and detail. This work creates a sense of energy as the eye is drawn to the rich black and relieved by golden tones of cream as it intertwines itself into the foreground of the painting. Helen Bellaver is an abstract expressionist living in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she has been practicing for the last thirty years. Her work has evolved into expressions of black. To the artist, black brings her a sense of calm and is at the forefront of her works. She uses it as her foreground, and in the background, she has layers of creams, whites, blues, ochres, browns, reds, etc. The mark-making on her works comes directly from the genre of Abstract Expressionism, and her emotions break through the compositions powerfully. Her canvases are worked and worked, with an immense amount of depth to them. Pictures do not do her work justice, and video is truly the way to see her work virtually. We have many videos of her work, feel free to inquire to see one specifically. Bellaver's work has been published, exhibited, and collected for decades across the United States. She has been practicing art in the Bay Area since the 1970s and has played an integral role in the region's abstract scene. She currently works out of the historic and coveted Alameda Artworks Studios near downtown San Jose and is represented by Gallery 1202 where her latest solo show, "An Affair with Black: Abstract Expressionism by Helen Bellaver," drew large crowds and was well-reviewed. We will ship this via standard parcel boxed with internal support to maintain the integrity of the piece. The work will be fully insured during shipping. If you prefer a different method of shipping, inquire and we are happy to accommodate your requests. Our first priorities are our collectors' satisfaction and the artwork's safety in transit. We accept returns within 3 days if we are notified within 24hrs of receipt of the work to ensure a worry-free collecting process. If you are local to the San Francisco Bay Area, we will deliver for free. Handling time will be 2-3 business days, and shipping will be 2-5 business days from the date of order confirmation for standard parcel.
