About the Item
A contemplative abstract work by Lynn McCarty, created in 1990. This composition employs oil and graphite on masonite to achieve a striking balance of gestural line and tonal subtlety. Radiating elliptical forms converge toward a luminous central axis, evoking both organic and cosmic associations. The layered, almost smoky surface draws the viewer in, inviting close inspection and reflection.
Measuring 23 x 23 inches, this piece exemplifies McCarty’s commitment to exploring the interplay between structure and atmosphere. Its minimalist monochrome palette makes it a sophisticated choice for contemporary interiors, where it can anchor a serene, visually compelling environment.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Lynn McCarty was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1961. She received a B.F.A. from the Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio and an M.F.A. from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn.
McCarty’s paintings range in scale from 12x12 inches to 60x60 inches. In each format-always square-large and small the artist explores the dialogue of forms within the parameters of the panel with command and grace. Some paintings are edgy containing amoeboid-like shapes quivering in a pool of limpid color, while others are radiant appearing to emanate light from within, and finally some works have the merest suggestion of form, a whisper by the artist of shapes, a conversation between figure and ground.
McCarty is more interested in “forming a form” than in describing a form. Often the forms seem sculptural, always they are physical, palpating with a sense of human presence. Not miniature by any stretch of the imagination, the small panels command large space. With scale as with color, McCarty encourages us to reconsider our perceptions. Though these aluminum panels of unique framework and structure are clearly paintings, they float object-like on the wall.
McCarty’s commitment to the physical aspect of form is echoed by her interest in exploring what she calls “really simple things” such as edges, color, line, shape along with form. In the organization of this coda for painting McCarty finds beauty, challenge, harmony, while never eschewing the opportunity for awkwardness or acidity, eager for a range of visual impact. For the artist color is the primary “subject” of the painting filled with the artist’s personality, her moods, her ups and downs, her swings of life. Her palette is broad and individualistic ranging from colors connected to the earth evoking sensations of shifts in weather over mountain and desert to ethereal color juxtapositions of pure light, white next to pale yellow next to a dollop of fuchsia-nothing more, a full haiku in oil.
TECHNIQUE
Unique too is McCarty’s technique or process. The artist builds a skin of paint on the aluminum surface using anything but brushes to pour the paint such as eye droppers, basters, towels, squeegees, her hand. Not a fan of brushstrokes she is interested in liquidity, in building elusive, sensual surfaces varying in nature. Sometimes she sands between layers of paint to create a smooth surface, at other times she uses an eye dropper to create a star-like pattern or bird-like tracking across the surface plane. Liquin figures into her technique, enabling McCarty to thin her paint sufficiently to pour it across the aluminum panel. Developing this process which is truly her own has provided the artist with a repertoire of technical options and know-how to wield her way through and across the painting’s surface.

Duayne Hatchett was a visual artist whose work included prints, paintings, sculpture, and found objects. He was born on May 12, 1925 in Shawnee, Oklahoma. He enlisted in the Air Force where he trained to become a fighter pilot. After leaving the militrary he studied design at the University of Oklahoma. His highly technical military training combined a mathematical intelligence with a love for physics and a daring embrace of new experience, all of which would soon be the tools for his evolution through art.
Two major influences interacted on his early development at OU. Emelio Omero, a colleague and close friend of Diego Rivera, introduced him to the revolutionary art ideas of Mexico City, while teaching him a wide range of printing techniques that would culminate in a Masters Degree in Painting in 1952. During this time he met Bruce Goff, a renowned Wright disciple, who was teaching architecture at OU and befriended Hatchett, introducing him to the most avant-garde architecture of that time.
He spent his summers while at OU designing for a small sign shop, which introduced him to new materials used for building neon, plastic, and metal signs. The use of new materials and a keen sense for design would soon become invaluable building blocks for future sculpture. During this time he met and married Mary Ellen Jeffries. They would spend their lives together and raise three children, David (me), my brother Dana, and my sister Jeffri. As children, they were immersed in art from childhood and benefited greatly from this loving art and domestic environment.
Hatchett was always interested in the techniques of construction, often watching different tradesmen working, understanding how materials are put together to create the manmade environment that surrounded him. While teaching printmaking at Oklahoma City University from 1951 through ‘54, he began to build sculpture employing some of the materials and techniques that he saw workers using. He was beginning to draw the attention of architects and he became interested in their work-trade processes, moving from blue prints to construction. He accepted an invitation from Alexander Hogue...

Destiny - Large Textural Original Black and White Gestural Abstraction Painting
By Gail Titus
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Arizona artist Gail Titus paints vibrant abstract compositions in acrylic on canvas with a focus on texture and color. The geometric planes of her artworks and the texture in her movements are boldly hatched in contours of energetic brushstrokes. She sends the viewer on a journey of discovery across the painted surface to continually re-discover the the depth of hue, composition, and dimension.
This large one-of-a-kind dynamic and textural painting is 60 inches high by 48 inches wide. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this expressive abstract artwork are painted as a continuation of the front. It does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back.

After working as a ceramic artist for more than twenty years creating wall sculptures and commissioned installation work, Gail Titus has been focusing more extensively into pursuing her long time interest in abstract painting. Her detailed studies of abstract painting techniques lead Gail Titus to develop works on canvas using acrylic paint and a carefully chosen mix of unconventional tools and techniques. The primary focus has been on surface development and exploring textures.
Her artworks have been acquired by corporations and private collectors throughout the United States, Canada and Australia. They have been featured on hit TV shows such as "The Catch" on ABC.
