21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Paintings

"The awakening" is a soft, subtle, large abstract painting, inspired by an ethereal primordial morning sky. A large, dramatic yet subtle emotion, difficult to photograph, so much mo...

Serene and calm sky, ocean horizon, sunrise or sunset sky painting from American Realist Willard Dixon. A contemporary sky scape with clouds and etherial light. Like a window to a wide open, brilliant and warm sky, in blue, purple yellow and gold. Unframed and ready to hang and enjoy. The original painting is 42 x 40 inches. Signed in paint with artist initials front. And signed in pen with artist's signature, date and title, Verso. One of our finest American contemporary realist painters, Willard Dixon has painted Northern California and western landscapes for over 35 years. His work captures the undeniable beauty of the West with its grand and humble spirit. The same sensitivity can be found in Dixon’s urban street scenes that offer viewers a resting place to contemplate our rapidly changing world, and his portraiture, which largely focuses on his artist friends and illustrious colleagues. Dixon’s work can be found in numerous distinctive private and public collections, as well as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMoMA), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NY, and the California Museum of Att in Oakland, CA.

Artist Len Klikunas paints to modify experienced reality through visual perception. Klikunas focuses on the larger idea behind his original abstract minimalist artworks. The work is characterized by “mindful artlessness” and simplicity. Understated and subtle, the work doesn’t only refer to itself, and it doesn’t explain everything. The natural-like radiation that comes from the structure of the materials and color schemes expresses calmness. The meditative process of the work is achieved through the transformation and subtle layering of geometric and organic shapes. This black and tan...
