About the Item

This color-field painting by Lucas Blok is untitled, dated 5-20-18. It is an acrylic painting on canvas measuring 60”x84”x2”. The painting present an inviting rich minimalist composition dominated by a range of greens that invites the viewer to discover secondary colors and constant movement with-in the composition. The painting is part of a series that includes two other similar compositions one in reds and one in blues. The paintings of LUCAS BLOK Born: 1950, Gouda, the Netherlands. He currently maintains his studio in Monterey, California Lucas Blok paintings emanate and pulse with a lyrical complexity that usher the viewer into a world of color relationships that play on both optical mechanics and the emotions alike. One first sees Blok’s vivid color fields arranged in geometric tautness. Then the subtleties in color, form and composition begin their work. The pristine surfaces begin to vibrate. Dominant shapes appear to dematerialize. Color chords register their optical strength, while phantom colors slowly migrate or surge across the picture plane. Thus, Blok’s spare surface world of simple shape and harmonious color reverberates with an inner life that, with contemplation, possesses a rich visual involvement of emotion, intellect and spirit. Rick Deragon expressed a similar understanding in a Monterey County Herald review: “Lucas Blok…attempts to do with color what musicians do with sound, that is, control the color relationships so that the viewer ‘delves’ into the painting, the way a listener digests chordal and harmonic relationships as music plays. The more the viewer looks, the more the painting ‘happens.” The Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts - Palace of the Legion of Honor, De Young Museum, San Francisco, California Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive(BAMPFA), Berkeley, California The Crocker Museum Of Art, Sacramento, California The Triton Museum of Art, Santa Clara, California The Monterey Museum of Art, Monterey, California Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, Monterey, California St. Francis Hospital, San Francisco, California
