About the Item

Neon Light (After Japan), 2025 by Ptolemy Mann. 56 x 76 cm. Liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor and acrylic gouache on paper. A vivid abstract painting shaped by gesture and memory. Neon Light (After Japan) is an original painting on paper by British artist Ptolemy Mann, created using liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor, and acrylic gouache. Measuring 56 x 76 cm, this work captures the vibrancy of urban light and color through dynamic brushwork and luminous layering. Blocks of saturated coral, fuchsia, and turquoise move across the surface, anchored by sweeping strokes of citrus green and deep teal. The composition is bold yet fluid, evoking a landscape of light in motion. What makes this piece unique is Mann’s exceptional control of water-based media on paper. The pigments are absorbed with softness yet retain clarity, resulting in a painting that feels spontaneous, immediate, and atmospheric. The irregular edges and visible brush marks reveal the intuitive nature of its creation, while the title refers to a visual impression from Japan—one of Mann’s recurring sources of inspiration. The work is in pristine condition. It is executed on heavyweight, high-quality paper with no warping, staining, or damage. Sold unframed, it offers flexibility for presentation while preserving the tactile presence of the paper’s edge. Neon Light (After Japan) belongs to Ptolemy Mann’s ongoing exploration of color as emotional and spatial experience. It is ideal for collectors seeking contemporary abstract art that balances expressive energy with chromatic harmony—an artwork where material, memory, and movement converge in a vibrant whole.

Rome Five, Hot Pink, Navy Cobalt Blue, Orange, Golden Yellow Gradient Stripes
By Audrey Stone
Located in Kent, CT
Horizontal stripes of color in gradient shades starting with hot pink in the center transitioning to dark navy cobalt blue and golden orange and luminous yellow at the edges. Signed and titled on verso. Audrey Stone has spent her lifetime being fascinated with color and line. Her paintings are explorations of these two elements, appearing in thick blocks of color and subtle color gradients. The boundaries between broad and narrow bands of color generate optical vibrations, stimulating visual processes for a viewer as the colors transition and inform an emotional and physical response to the work. Stone’s paintings present a dynamic opposition within graphic blocks of color in a perfect ordered symmetry, a simultaneity of excitement and calm, movement and stillness. Audrey Stone’s work has been exhibited across the US as well as in Tokyo, Vienna, Prague and Bulgaria. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, W Magazine, Times Union and New York Artist Circle, to name a few. The work is in the collections of Ameritas Foundation in Bulgaria and Credit Suisse among others. Stone earned...
