About the Item
Artist Comments
Joey Korom drew inspiration for this painting from a bold steel sculpture on a pedestal created by Anthony Caro. The white area at the bottom of the piece represents the pedestal and helps define the foreground from the background. The challenging dark blue figure - the sculpture - is muscular and not demure by any account, explains Joey. It gives dynamism to this powerful painting because it is the painting. The piece is framed in a hand-built oak hardwood frame that measures 2 in depth and .25 thick.
About the Artist
Joey Korom is an abstract expressionist painter who has been a practicing artist for 50 years. He experiments with media, colors, and textures to produce artwork that is “purely optical;” that is, artwork meant to engage the viewer, visually and emotionally, without employing any associations outside of the work itself. Joey is passionate about this expressive type of abstraction, an artistic mode that escapes the rules of perspective and realism. His educational and professional background is in architecture, which he considers to be “the father of all arts.” The use of line, shape, and proportion in Joey’s work is visibly influenced by his experience as an architect, but he seeks to avoid the rigidity involved in architectural draftsmanship. He focuses instead on underlying structure, seductive color, and loose brushwork. The artist sees his style as a personal liberation from the demands of architectural drawing, and yet, he’s never lost the disciplines he was taught.

- Removing Myself, Abstract PaintingBy Gary J. Noland Jr.Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Gary J. Noland Jr. unveils an enthralling abstract piece dominated by black and white strokes. He combines two of his signature series to create this captivating composition. Gary creates tension by applying a brightly colored grid to a muted surface that is scrapped, scratched, and sanded to reveal what lies beneath.About the Artist
Artist Gary Noland Jr. creates expressive abstracts with rich colors, splashes, and mark-making. “I create layers that are then scraped, scratched, and sanded to give a glimpse of what lies beneath the surface,†says Gary. Artistically inclined at a young age, Gary was inspired to pursue his creativity after winning a poster-making contest in the first grade. Later, he completed his Master of Fine Arts at the University of Kentucky, fully realizing his dynamic abstractions. Gary worked in quality departments of various manufacturing plants—their floors layered with paint and tape that had been scratched or worn down over many years—became a key influence of his distinctive style. Today, his process begins with images of old floors...Category21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Abstract Paintings
