Ragellah Rourke
Infinity II (Modern, Abstract Expressionist Painting in Forest Green)

2017

About the Item

30 x 24 inches mixed media and acrylic paint on canvas This abstract expressionist painting was created by Hudson Valley based artist, Ragellah Rourke in 2017. This most recent body of work focuses on relationships between color and space. A whimsical mixture of forest green and sage green provides a base for splattered and dripped details of warm sienna, dark green, white & gold. Gestural strokes of paint are applied in layers, creating a slightly textured surface. The painting can be oriented vertically or horizontally, depending on your preference. Artist Statement: My paintings are very textural and built up slowly over long periods of time. Plaster is first applied to the surface of the painting. The plastered surface allows me to work in a way that suits my search and discovery approach. I draw, scratch, sand, and incise into the plaster .The surface holds the memory of the painting’s development, all the time looking for clues for what will come next. Transparent, watery, washes of paint are applied over parts of the surface, exposing or covering the preexisting marks and textures. I look for connections between the forms that develop. They are never something that I logically calculate, but rather a long string of chances, thoughts, and guesses. The appearance and meaning develop throughout the progression of the painting. It is a continuous search for resolution, balance and mystery within the painting.

  • Untitled 2 (Contemporary Abstract Geometric Painting in Blue, Red, Black)
    By Ralph Stout
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Abstract minimalist color block painting on panel "Untitled 2", painted by Ralph Stout in 2019 16 x 16 x 2 inches, acrylic on panel Sides are painted black, additional framing is optional Ready to hang as is This abstract minimalist, mid-century modern style painting on canvas was made by East Hampton based artist, Ralph Stout, in 2019. The composition features an interlocking pattern of dark teal, blue and black. The painting is on panel with black painted sides. The artist's signature is located on the back. Ralph Stout refers to his approach to abstract painting as “incremental adventurism”. This sums up Stout’s calculated combos of vivid pigments and defined forms layered on top of fluid underdrawings. The artist first creates space using simple linework with graphite pencil; intertwining curvy lines or straight intersecting angles are drawn in varying densities. He then fills the spaces with blocks of pure, vivid color without any real detail other than the outlines of each form that begins to appear. Each mass is connected in stark juxtaposition using intense contrast of color and line. It is the delicate tension between the background and foreground that reveals a solid graphic that is full of vibration. About the artist: Since devoting himself full time to visual art after a long career in computer...
