About the Item

Splish Splash, Original Contemporary Colorful Blue Abstract Painting 34" x 38" x 0.75" (HxWxD) Acrylic on Canvas 36" x 40" x 2" (HxWxD) Framed An explosive and colorful work by artist Jen Sterling, this composition is full of bright yellow, orange, green, red, and blue tones that overlap one another to create a truly dynamic and energetic work of art. The most prominent colors in the canvas are blue and green, almost giving the impression of the surface of water that is reflecting back fall foliage. The painting comes in a silver-front, black-edge frame. Artist Commentary: Nothing brings as much joy on a rainy day as jumping in the puddles. The original is framed in a rubbed silver float frame with black edge. About the Artist: Color has always had a profound influence on Jen's state of mind. While traveling in the American southwest with her sister more than 20 years ago, she was struck by the colors she saw there – so vivid, so alive, so powerful. The experience struck her so much that when she came home she immediately bought paint and canvas and started trying to convey the rich spectrum of emotions those colors evoked in her. Some of the pieces she creates come out of her in just a few hours... they are fully formed and ready to blast onto her canvas. In most cases, these are images she can see in her head before she begins. In some instances, the art is built slowly over several weeks and layers until it has developed just the right feeling... it evolves into something she did not visualize prior to beginning. Some of her favorite pieces are those that develop over time. They begin with a seed of an idea or a fragment of an image that pops into her head. Her eye might catch on the color combination of someone’s shirt walking past her on the sidewalk. That seed then grows into an expanded palette… Slowly form and motion start to creep in and the energy starts to bubble up. She gets more and more excited about what is happening and that excitement gets translated through her brush strokes onto the canvas. Those inspiring colors can strike her from anywhere. In 2020, Jen was awarded the grand prize in abstract art by "International Artist" magazine for a piece that was inspired by the colors she found reflected in a black pearl while traveling in Tahiti. The goal of Jen's work is to inspire energy and excitement from within – to empower the viewer to do something bold. Her paintings are not meant to “be vanilla” or just match your couch. These images are meant to make you feel strong and powerful — to help you feel the excitement she had in creating it — to burst into your morning with a zing or invigorate your senses after a long day. Ideally, her art reminds you that life is for feeling and stretching and living. Jen graduated from George Washington University earning a BA in Visual Communications with a minor in Psychology. She lives with her husband, daughter, and “furry children” in Annapolis, MD.

  • Commemorate, Original Contemporary Red, White, and Blue Abstract Painting
    Located in Boston, MA
    Commemorate, Original Contemporary Red, White, and Blue Abstract Painting, 2022 30" x 48" x 1.5" (HxWxD) Acrylic and Ink on Canvas A vibrant color palette of blues, reds, and greens flows across the canvas in abstracted forms that imply the movement of water. It looks as though you are looking up at a distorted image through the movement of the ocean overhead. The red, white, and blue color scheme invokes a patriotic feel, as if you are spending the 4th of July on a lake. Artist Commentary: 30 x 48 x 1.5” gallery wrapped with painted edges. Acrylic and Ink on canvas. This is one in my series of emotionally charged coastal abstract artworks. I used saturated vibrant colors and powerful brush strokes, as I do in all my paintings, in order to create a lasting visual impression. Materials: Professional acrylic paints and canvas. Finished with a glaze of UV varnish to protect against sunlight and dust damage. My art pieces are held in private and commercial collections around the world, including the UK, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Asia, France, Canada, Australia and USA. Margaret Juul...

  • Safe House, Original Abstract Painting, 2021
    By Tyler Sorgman
    Located in Boston, MA
    Artist Commentary: Safe House is special to me because I was thinking a lot about the meaning, and feeling of "home" during the pandemic. I tried to show the solitary home as both a refuge, as well as a place of confinement. I wanted the space to feel both inviting yet uneasy at the same time.
