About the Item

This painting is an abstract landscape on canvas featuring vibrant and dark layers of green, yellow, orange and blue. Katherine Sandoz is inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis, Vincent Van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Neil Welliver. Katherine Sandoz’s recent series of paintings “uhuru” draws upon the layered landscape, language, and native flora of Maui, but contains its own version of physics. Beyond their painted plies, skewed shapes and transparent botanicals, these works situate the viewer in hardened lava, inside caves and on cliffs of falling rock, crouched beneath the mass of 2,400 miles of ocean in every direction. The paintings say, “we are the smallest and nature is vast,” stretching out to our first beginnings and our last endings. Here, the governing principle is a tenet unique to Hawaiian cosmology: the land is the first genealogical ancestor of its people. Aloha ʻāina (love of the land) integrates science, society and spirituality, making us duty-bound to serve, love and honor the land. These paintings are receipts of the mystery, depth, power and beauty of Maui Nui and her seven shield volcanoes. Katherine utilizes multiple passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers of water-based media, creating dynamic compositions allowing the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once. She holds an MFA in Painting and MFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she was Professor of Illustration from 1997 to 2005. She has been living and working in Savannah since the mid-1990s.

Stark Canyon - Modern Original Colorful Abstract Landscape Painting
By Jodi Fuchs
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Jodi Fuchs creates modern abstract expressionistic artworks with undeniable energy. Years of inquiry into the metaphysical aspects of life have influenced her studio practice. This is where the act of creation is the muse. By following intuitive impulses, Fuchs' work speaks to the chaos and stillness (and the reconciliation of these two forces) inherent in the human experience. This original 24-inch high by 36-inch wide artwork is an acrylic composition on canvas. It is Fuchs’ fascination with the pure creative force: understanding it, harnessing it and expressing it, that fuels her painting process. This painting is signed on the back. The sides of this artwork are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U. S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Born in New York in 1964, Jodi Fuchs is an award-winning contemporary abstract painter living in Los Angeles. Her education about color and pattern came on the job while working as a decorative painter for 20+ years. One hundred thousand wine labels by Georges Duboeuf have been adorned with her art. Fuchs' work has been featured on 50+ TV and film productions, graced the lobbies of hotels from New York to Miami to Portland Oregon, and has been exhibited and collected worldwide.
