Jean Soyer
Dramatic Sunset Abstract: Bold Red and Black Oil Painting by Jean Soyer

About the Item

Dynamic abstract oil painting on canvas (12x12 inches) by contemporary artist Jean Soyer. The artwork features bold horizontal strokes in fiery reds, yellows, and deep blacks, created using large brushes and combs to achieve distinctive textural reliefs. The dramatic composition suggests a turbulent landscape or atmospheric phenomenon, with powerful gestural movements across the canvas. This compelling abstract work showcases Soyer's masterful command of dramatic composition and texture. The painting's horizontal energy and bold color contrasts evoke the dynamic force found in Nicolas de Staël's landscape abstractions, while the gestural freedom recalls the spontaneous movements characteristic of Georges Mathieu's work. The thick impasto technique and strong horizontal structure also brings to mind the powerful abstractions of Pierre Soulages, particularly in the way light interacts with the textured surface. The work demonstrates Soyer's unique ability to balance controlled technique with emotional expression, creating a tension between structure and chaos that characterizes the best of contemporary abstraction. The dramatic use of red against black suggests both natural phenomena and inner emotional landscapes, continuing the tradition of French lyrical abstraction while bringing it firmly into the contemporary sphere. This piece is provided with a basic black varnished L-frame for transport security and convenience.

'Subliminal' Colorful Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract by Steven H. Rehfeld
By Steven H. Rehfeld
Located in Carmel, CA
This 20" x 30" contemporary abstract mixed media piece by Steven Rehfeld is a captivating exploration of form, color, and texture. The composition features a harmonious blend of soft pastel hues — calming blues, delicate pinks, and mellow yellows — juxtaposed against more assertive tones of deep magenta, vibrant orange, and charcoal gray. The painting showcases Rehfeld's signature style of blending geometric shapes, notably triangles and circles, with freer, more organic brushstrokes. The added depth is achieved through the inclusion of mixed media elements: fragments of paper with faint sketches, scribbles, and translucent overlays create a multidimensional visual experience. The smoky, sinuous black mark towards the center adds a hint of dynamism, while the layered application of paint and paper produces a tactile richness, making the piece an engaging visual journey. Steven is now one of the top emerging artists in the U.S. His works are groundbreaking, bold, and imbued with unflinching disregard for painting conventions. Many works are in collections and museums in the U.S. Steven is also part of the 'Outsiders' school of art, originating in France in the 19th century. Also known as the Naïve movement, and was comprised of people with no art training at all, who suddenly started to paint. Many of them are from very challenging backgrounds. All they had was talent that had never before been tapped. In no time this movement became a significant art phenomenon and spread all over the world. His work, however, has branched out past the movement and his use of earth elements renders a basic and raw interpretation of his message. Original, 1-of-1. Shown at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California. Keywords: colorful, mixed media, contemporary, abstract, expressionism, blue, pink, yellow, magenta, orange, grey, Steven H...
