About the Item

The large abstract painting "BREAKING VIOLET" is a diptych (a double canvas) by Jeffrey Kurland, with acrylic paint on canvas. Each canvas measures 48" high by 52" wide, therefore stacks vertically as 96" high by 52" wide. "Breaking Violet" is new work from the summer of 2019. Often employing paints and pigments from surprising sources (in this case "interference violet" from a European automotive manufacturer), the various violet and sea green colors appear in an energetic vertical structure. "Breaking Violet" may also be hung horizontally. "BREAKING VIOLET" was part of the artist's solo show at Art of Our Century gallery in Greenwich Village, New York City. The show ran January 16 to February 16, 2020. Jeffrey has developed his own methods and techniques to achieve this structure. He doesn't use brushes, but pours and directs the paint using a variety of methods. Kurland embraces spontaneity and intuition – there are no preparatory sketches. In this manner he pursues as much as captures the painting. Innovating technically, building structure on the canvas and pushing color abstraction forward on his own terms – bending, breaking, flowing and channeling color. Broad gesture and active, tactile surfaces emerge from the canvas through his experimental process and approach to materials, application and composition. Jeffrey Kurland received his BFA in Painting and Printmaking from the University of Michigan, and an MFA in Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan. He’s been living and working in New York City since 1976, developing his art practice which includes painting, drawing, collage, monoprints, and book arts.
