Patrick O'Boyle
The Red City, Abstract Painting

2018

About the Item

Artist Comments
This painting was inspired by various aerial photographs of major cities in the US. Buildings, bodies of water and land have all been replaced with color, line and shape. The painted surface has been scraped and color has been pushed to reveal lines and texture.


About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.

  • Let Beauty Now Be What We Do, Abstract Painting
    By Joyanna Margo
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    An abstract bouquet of red and pink flowers dance in a yellow vase, inspired by the color and patterning of art nouveau prints. Part of Joyanna's signature series of 'negative space' floral scenes. "The story they tell is that joy can grow from any beginning - whether sad, happy, angry or empowered," she says. Joyanna begins each painting with vibrant color work and then completes the art by adding the negative space that defines her whimsical bouquets and gardens.

  • Sea Foam, Abstract Painting
    By DL Watson
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    A flowing abstraction representing water rushing across beach sand. Artist DL Watson played up the light in the scene using hints of metallic gold and silver paint.


    About the Artist
    DL Watson creates semi-abstract paintings with floral and botanical references. Splitting her time between Florida and Oregon, she finds inspiration in the patterns that repeat themselves throughout the natural world. While her paintings are often grounded in her own childhood memories and past experiences, they evoke a beauty that is universal in their natural subject matter. She creates interest and intrigue through the color and movement that she uses to balance her composition.
