About the Item

Artist Commentary: This minimalist painting is created with charcoal made from sunflower seeds. The sunflower seed charcoal creates organic lines woven through various hues of white oil paint. The effect is a cross between a minimalist nature painting and a botanical drawing. Keywords: charcoal and oil paint, botanical, monochromatic, white painting, line painting Artist Biography: I create my own charcoal from meaningful objects (scientific, political, sentimental). My charcoal art is typically abstract or geometric. I have developed several methods of applying the charcoal to paper and linen, often in combination with oil paint. I also create figurative oil paintings. These are often inspired by journeys and landscapes. I am also inspired by vintage photographs and movies, as well as images relating to current world events.

Intermingled 1
By Farida Hughes
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary: For ten years I lived in Minnesota and had a studio in Northeast Minneapolis, which I loved. When I moved to the city, I began to paint compositions of abstracted crowds of people as imagined from above. Can you envision this painting as a large crowd of people? You can hang this either horizontally or vertically. A little impressionistic in expression, this painting also reminds me of a garden of happy flowers. Keywords: color, abstract, movement, motion, circles, yellow, bubbles, gray, orange, colorful, texture, busy Details about the piece: - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - Artist now lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland, USA - Professional grade oil paints and ArtResin on wood panel - Other materials include professional grade watercolor and oil pastel - Wood Panel with Birchwood face and 1.5" Poplar wood cradle - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - Certificate of authenticity and care sheet included with original Artist Biography: Farida Hughes’ lively and intriguing abstract paintings take their inspiration from the gathering and dispersing of crowds, group relationships, and shared histories and stories of people. She developed her abstract mixed media style, and methods of mixing oil paint with resin, after many years of painting with oil paint and experimenting with oil painting mediums. Hughes studied Studio Art and English at Fordham University in New York and received an MFA in Painting from the University of Chicago. Her work is exhibited widely in galleries and art centers and collected nationally. She is currently represented by Walker Fine Art...

Genesis
By Novi Lim
Located in Boston, MA
Artist commentary: I like to transport my mind to a calming place, inspired by memories, and complex organic elements found in nature. Playing with colors and movement, creating new compositions -- my best work comes when there is freedom to create without any strict plan. With intuition and spontaneity taking over, the result is often a surprise. To me, everything flows, and there is always a sense of balance and harmony that can emerge out of disorder. I love the ambiguous and mysterious nature of abstraction. Through self-discovery and experimentation, I am allowing dynamic energy that manifests through the joy of creating. The result is loose interpretations of anything that exists between the mind and reality, therefore each painting is unique and sometimes inexplicable. About the Artist: Ethereal and calming, Novi Lim's painting transports its audience to a land that is both dreamlike yet familiar. Lim Finds inspiration in the natural world, and seeks to capture their essence through an organic and sensory creative process. In the artist's own words: "Often, imagining a mythical flower that blooms and lit up in the nighttime or seeing something as simple as the calming gradient of the colorful sky at sundown, or the surface of water that glimmers which makes me wonder about the mystery of the deepest oceans -- piqued my creative process and subliminal stimuli." Guided by instinctive feeling, Lim lets the movements of her paintbrush flow as she experiments with atmospheric lighting, transparency, and color. The result is an ambiguous landscape that treads between the subconscious and waking world. Details: - Natural oak floating frame included. 25.5 x 37.5 x 2 inches (framed) - This is a hand painted, original painting - Created in North Carolina, USA - Professional grade acrylic on canvas - Gallery wrapped, triple primed, acid free cotton canvas - Ready to hang with wires and D ring - Signed on the back - UV varnished - Professional-grade paint - Certificate of authenticity included with original - Packaged securely in a wooden crate with Ph-Neutral glassine paper and bubble wrap Words used to describe the piece: Modern minimal abstract Abstract flowing, Skyline, modern, sophisticated, soft abstract, sophisticated colors, blue white abstract, grey blue abstract...
