Blue and red two-toned contemporary abstract expressionist oil painting by Bay Area artist Michael Pauker (American, b.1957).

The remaining three-fourths of the canvas contrasts sharply with a cool color abstract composed of different shades of blue. Titled "Sacre Bleu 2013" and signed on verso. Unframed. Acquired with a collection of his work. Another of his "Issues in Contemporary Aquaculture 2013 series." “I’m driven by curiosity...where it comes from I can’t tell you; it’s just there. And early 20th-century modernist art is the thing that I keep returning to.” - Michael Pauker Bay Area artist and art educator Michael Pauker was born in New York in 1957 and knew he wanted to be an artist from the age of 15.
