About the Item

acrylic on canvas b. 1975, Bellaire, OH Dion Johnson’s paintings combine and explore dynamic opposites: expansiveness and compression, surface and depth, and darkness and light. Gradient color fields are juxtaposed to and interwoven with planes of precise hardedge abstraction. These color fades are both intimate and vast – they may reflect internal moods with wandering thoughts and insightful realizations, or they may suggest vivid sunsets on Mercury or Mars with chemical skies and radiant perspectives. The hardedge shapes seem to reach up and stretch down; their elongated curves, interlocking contours, and bold colors allude to kinetic sensations and evolving environments. Johnson attended Yale Norfolk Summer School of Music and Art, received his BFA from the Ohio State University and MFA from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, CA. His work has been reviewed and featured in articles in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, ART News, Art Forum, and others. His work is in public collections such as The Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, OH; Twitter Inc., Santa Monica, CA; The Capital Group Companies, Los Angeles, CA; Creative Artists Agency, CA; Pizutti Collection Columbus, OH; and many more.

By Gail Titus

Arizona artist Gail Titus paints vibrant abstract compositions in acrylic on canvas with a focus on texture and color.

She sends the viewer on a journey of discovery across the painted surface to continually re-discover the the depth of hue, composition, and dimension. This one-of-a-kind dynamic and textural painting is 48 inches square. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this expressive abstract artwork are painted as a continuation of the front. It does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available.

Playful Abstract Expression 'Bajo Las Estrellas' Large Abstract Colorful Artwork
By Danny Brown
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Danny Brown’s artworks allocate an intrinsic connection between himself and the diverse communities occupying Los Angeles. Brown combines art history, streetwear trends, and pop art symbolism to create a signature style with a soft and fun, yet edgy character. He is willing to address a very unique point of view about social issues of our day with unmistakable perspectives. His artworks have the potential to influence a new generation of artists, incorporating diversity and respect for varying cultures. This one-of-a-kind acrylic and oil stick painting on canvas measures 64.5 inches high by 64 inches wide. It is signed by Brown on the back. The artwork is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included. Danny Brown is a first-generation American urban artist born in Los Angeles. His parents relocated their family from Oaxaca, Mexico in search of opportunities in the United States. Brown uses his interest in fashion as well as his knowledge of color, design, and culture as inspiration for his paintings. The loss of friends to violence and incarceration, combined with the loss of a family member to gang violence pushed Brown to use art as a source of therapy and to project a positive inspiring image for his community. Brown’s art coalesces youth culture, art history, fashion, and American consumerism and melds them all to create his unique style. Instantly relatable and recognizable, his cathartic paintings represent contemporary issues as well as a demographic that is traditionally underrepresented in fine art. His works speak to young Americans and inspire a whole new generation of art collectors and admirers. Since 2016, Daniel Brown...
