This abstraction by NY based artist Margo Margolis has a very sophisticated/playful sensibility with brilliant, intense color (chartreuse, turquoise, pink, green, red, gray, black and white), the significant attribute of the artist's flashe medium, a water based French paint. Consisting of multiple layers of underpainting and glazing, and frequent contrasts between hard and soft edges, these paintings not only have associations with Henri Matisse's palette and Alexander Calder's sculptural forms, but also share in these artists' complexities after initial straightforward first takes. Fresh and intelligent exploration into the possibilities for abstraction are Margolis's focus and these works achieve that rare quality of making abstraction feel new. Margo Margolis "Step" 2022 Flashe on Canvas 40 x 32 x 1.25 Inches This painting is unframed and framing is not necessary as the sides are painted white. To achieve accuracy for color some of the detail photographs shown below cause the background to appear slightly too gray. It is currently on view in an exhibition of the artist's work in Wellesley, MA where it is featured in a group of works of varying sizes, small, medium, and large: 24 x 20 inches, 40 x 32 inches, 72 x 60 inches, and works on paper measuring 30 x 22 inches. Also available are a series of earlier small canvases measuring 14 x 11 inches each which also work well as groupings. Margolis’s continuing commitment to abstract painting dates back to the early 1970s when she began exhibiting with the Brooke Alexander Gallery...
