Jean Soyer
Dramatic Movement: Abstract Expressionist Painting in Red and Purple

About the Item

Abstract oil painting on canvas by Jean Soyer (39.4 x 39.4 inches). Bold composition featuring dramatic red slashes against a dark background with purple accents. Created using thick impasto technique with large brushes and combs, resulting in distinctive textural reliefs. The work showcases dynamic movement through angular forms and explosive gestures, characteristic of Soyer's energetic style. This powerful abstract composition demonstrates a masterful balance between controlled chaos and refined technique. The dramatic red gestures cutting through the darkness evoke the spontaneous energy of Abstract Expressionism while maintaining a distinctly contemporary edge. While Soyer acknowledges influence from Nicolas de Staël and Georges Mathieu, this piece particularly resonates with the dynamic gestural work of Franz Kline and the dramatic contrasts found in Pierre Soulages's paintings. The use of thick impasto and bold directional strokes creates a compelling tension between surface texture and spatial depth. The artist's technique of using large brushes and combs to manipulate the paint results in a distinctive relief effect that adds a sculptural dimension to the two-dimensional surface. The limited but potent color palette of black, red, and purple demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of chromatic drama that recalls the intensity of Hans Hartung's abstract compositions.

Teller 3
By Frank Arnold
Located in Fresno, CA
"Teller 3" Oil on Canvas presents a singular form and background in varying shades of green, blue, yellow and white and eart tones. Frank Arnold is viewed as one of the foremost abstract figurative painters and sculptors of our time. He is a living master guided by a personal mission to “turn on a light in the human soul,” through his passionate creation of “Messengers” from his deeper mind connection with Carl Jung's archetypal images, the collective unconscious, and Jungian Synchronicity. These unconscious forms from his deeper mind resonate as personal messages of universal acceptance, reaching out to the viewer. Arnold has been honored as IAD Artist of the year 2018 by International Artist Day, and 2013 FAC Horizon Artist Award. He has exhibited his artwork in numerous galleries and museums and is in collections worldwide. Arnold divides his working days between oil painting in San Jose del Cabo, Baja Sur...
