About the Item
The enthralling piece 'Ponder' by the artist Masri is a masterful example of abstract portraiture stretched across a 40" x 30" canvas. Masri's unique application, forgoing brushes for the tactile touch of hands and the sculptural edge of a palette knife allows for an intimate connection with the medium, imbuing the work with raw texture and emotion. The visual narrative is composed of an energetic symphony of colors — stark blacks and deep blues punctuated by passionate reds, interwoven with contemplative whites, vivid oranges, and subtle earth tones.
Every swipe of color and every bold line is a word in an unspoken language, a stroke of thought, manifesting as a rich tapestry of introspection. 'Ponder' is as much an exploration of the human condition as it is a physical exploration of paint and surface. The portrait within is not definitive but suggested, allowing the viewer's eye to trace the visage within the chaos, prompting a moment of reflection and personal interpretation. It stands as a testament to Masri's visionary approach to art, where the experience is immersive, and every observer walks away with a different emotional imprint, a personal connection with the introspective journey the piece embodies. Through 'Ponder,' Masri communicates the essence of the human spirit — complex and multifaceted.
About the Artist:
Masri is a passionate Italian, US-based artist whose work has been exhibited in the USA, the UK, Germany, Lebanon, Italy, and Norway. His work is varied and known especially in Europe and in Major collections - Ellen Degeneres, Ringo Starr, Al Gore, and many more.
Harnessing an insatiable desire for artistic discovery, innovation, and perfection, he dives into experimentation with openness and enthusiasm. The works he produces, as a result, are bright, expansive, and bold.
Masri has developed a style that captures the Mideastern mood with A Lucien Freud brush touch. This style is completed with palette work as the artist often goes into a trance-like state when creating these powerful expressions of the human experience.
Artist statement:
"I live four seasons every day - it is a humongous world of perceptions, conceptions, and achievements; a world of renewable psychological input and output fraught with flowing emotions, endurance, and pain. "
The painting comes with a certificate of authenticity and a letter of appraisal.
Exclusively represented by The American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
