Michael Forster
Abstraction, Mauves

1981

About the Item

This marvelous work done in the rich palette of mauves and intermittent blues, greens and whites is a dynamic work that would bring movement to any room. Forster was a Canadian artist who went to Mexico for an extended time and was immersed with the famous artists of the time such as Rufino Tamayo. Forster became of founding member of the surrealist movement in Canada. He referred to this type of painting as one of his "inner Landscapes" and in many ways also draws upon ideas he took away from J. W. Turners works. It is in a lovely and high quality gold leafed frame of modern profile. The size of the work is 24 x 31 inside the frame so our listed size is its total dimensions.

Extra-Large Dutch Contemporary Abstract Portrait By Hans Bouman
Located in Frederiksberg C, DK
An exquisite contemporary painting by Dutch artist, Hans Bouman. In this painting Bouman creates a captivating interplay of colors and forms that gives rise to an enigmatic abstract face that invites interpretation and contemplation. This captivating large-scale abstract painting is a harmonious blend of warm white, earthy tones, invigorating orange, and calming blue hues. Hans Bouman, born in the Netherlands in 1951, embarked on his artistic journey at the Amsterdam Graphic School and the Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Fine Arts. During the early 1980s, Paris became his haven of inspiration, where his debut in galleries marked the onset of an international presence that continues to flourish. Bouman's artistic evolution is characterized by cycles of creativity, but it is his larger-than-life hieratic heads that he is renown for. These remarkable pieces pay homage to influences as diverse as the Moai sculptures of Easter Island, the intricate masks of Africa...
