About the Item
Untitled No 63, abstract composition 1987
Mixed media on wood panel, wax, oil, paper. signed with initials, gallery label.
Abstract painter Michael David is best known for his use of encaustic, a technique that incorporates heated beeswax and pigment. Considered an inheritor of Abstract Expressionism, David’s abstract work primarily centers on the use of a densely layered surface to facilitate a direct and immediate spiritual experience. He often incorporates religious iconography and symbolism, art historical themes such as the nude, and contemporary politics into his paintings resulting in a critical dialogue between the layered abstraction of the surface and the integrated representational imagery. Alongside his work on canvas, David has developed a body of studio photography that recreates paintings by Caravaggio, Manet, and Mantegna, among others, in works that confront racism, homophobia, and sexism. David also works in mixed media and environmental sculpture, still within the horizon of his abiding concerns for sociopolitical questioning through art-making.

Magical Box Large Abstract On Wood Panel
Nicholas Wilton
Nicholas Wilton Born 1961, San Francisco, CA. Is known for vibrant abstract paintings that delve into themes of nature, personal experience, and emotional complexity. His work, described as “visual poetry,” is characterized by rich color, texture, and organic forms, creating a complex visual weave that reflects the underlying feelings and intricacies of life. Informed by spontaneity and a balance of opposites, his paintings emphasize the accuracy of feeling over literal representation. Wilton studied at the College of Creative Studies in Santa Barbara, California, and earned a BFA from the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. His work has been chosen for a stamp by the U.S. Postal Service, and featured on book covers such as The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Wilton also founded Art 2 Life, a program dedicated to nurturing creativity and artistic development through workshops and classes.
