Mid-Century Abstract Mixed Media 'Transfiguration' Composition with Marble Dust
By Pawel Kontny
Located in Denver, CO
"Transfiguration" is a captivating original abstract painting by the talented artist Pawel Kontny (also known as Paul Kontny), created during the mid-20th century. This unique composition was crafted using a combination of marble dust, gesso, and oil glaze on masonite, resulting in a striking raised texture that adds depth and dimension to the artwork. The use of marble dust and gesso gives the piece a rich, tactile quality, making it visually stunning.
The painting is rendered in a harmonious palette of neutral tones, including shades of brown, beige, yellow, and grey, creating a subtle yet powerful interplay of light and shadow. These muted hues evoke a sense of calm and contemplation, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the abstract forms and textures that dominate the canvas.
This piece is presented in its original black and gold frame, which enhances its vintage charm and complements the sophisticated color palette. "Transfiguration" is an exceptional work of art, perfect for collectors of mid-century abstract art...

"Superior (Great Lakes), " Oil on Panel, 2023
Located in Chicago, IL
This abstract work by Chicago artist Patrick Fitzgerald belongs to a series of “track paintings” that materialize the imagined tracks navigated by his miniature soap-box car sculptures.
