"Birds of a Feather" 2022

The artist signed the back of the painting.
In "Birds of a Feather," Steven H. Rehfeld offers a complex, layered exploration of identity, connection, and the unspoken ties that bind us. The piece, with its bold strokes of red, yellow, and black juxtaposed against more muted tones of grey and blue, is a visual representation of harmony within chaos. The overlapping forms and dynamic use of space create an atmosphere of constant movement, suggesting the ebb and flow of relationships, emotions, and experiences that are never truly static.
Though elusive in detail, the abstracted figures suggest a sense of unity, as if the individual marks and strokes represent parts of a larger whole, much like the subtle, unspoken connections we share with others. The energetic composition evokes a feeling of shared purpose, yet there is tension present as if the bond is simultaneously fragile and unbreakable. The jagged edges, fragmented shapes, and erratic lines speak to the complexity of these connections, offering a nuanced commentary on the push and pull of human interaction.
About the Artist:
Introducing Steven H. Rehfeld, a distinctive force in contemporary art, whose innovative approach transcends the conventional boundaries of artistic creation. With a profound grasp on the foundational elements of art, Rehfeld's work is a testament to his unmatched prowess and his relentless pursuit of excellence in the art world. Born in San Francisco, in October 1954, Steven H. Rehfeld embarked on his artistic journey influenced by the diverse cultural backdrop of the Bay Area. Educated at the College of San Mateo and the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he majored in Studio Art, Rehfeld refined his eclectic style, harmoniously blending abstract art with realism. "First and foremost, I go beyond any artist ever," Rehfeld asserts, reflecting his deep understanding of art's foundation akin to the scientific precision of the periodic table. This comparison underlines his approach to art as a rigorous discipline where each element is as crucial as a chemical compound in a meticulously crafted formula.

Steven H. Rehfeld
Steven H. Rehfeld, a California artist, holds a B.A. in studio art from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He draws inspiration from the 'Outsiders' school of art that originated in 19th-century France, known as the Naïve movement. Also referred to as the Naïve or Primitive art movement, was comprised of artists with no formal art training who discovered their talent and began painting. Many of these artists came from challenging backgrounds, and their raw talent remained untapped until they expressed themselves through art. The movement quickly gained prominence and spread worldwide. Steven Rehfeld's artistic style has evolved beyond the Naïve movement, incorporating earth elements to create a basic and raw interpretation of his artistic message. Discover the exclusive collection of Steven H. Rehfeld's artwork at The American Art Gallery. Artist Statement "My oil, acrylic, and mixed media paintings explore the dynamic relationship between progressiveness and tradition, personal and cultural experiences, and the interplay between the human form and iconography. Through these explorations, I engage in a dialogue that reveals how the intangible influences the material world. Color contrast forms, negative/positive space, and visual kinetic energy shape these artistic relationships. Additionally, I fuse abstract art with elements of realism to create a unique artistic experience."

SONGBIRDS, Original Signed Contemporary Red Abstract Expressionist Painting
Located in Boston, MA
SONGBIRDS, Original Contemporary Red Abstract Expressionist Painting
36" x 48" x 2" (HxWxD) Oil on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist.
Though entirely abstract, the rich red that dominates this large-format painting, along with the general layout of its composition, bear a striking allusion to The Red Studio by Henri Matisse. It is as if artist William O'Connor has produced an abstract expressionist take on Matisse's beloved workspace in a more modern and contemporary painting, utilizing spontaneity, energy, and bold design. The bright palette is both striking and refreshing and is sure to be a focal point in any room you hang it in.
Unframed. Canvas edges are painted white.
Artist Commentary:
Three years ago we moved to our home in Glendora. Our efforts growing flowers and maintaining gardens provides a haven for many birds and animals. I hung up a finch bird seed feeder outside my studio. It attracted a flock of around 50 Gold Finches. While I would paint, they would eat, sing, and fly back and forth to the bird bath for water. It was magical. However, our two beautiful outside rescue cats thought the whole flock was for them. Needless to say, I had to stop feeding the Gold Finches. I no longer have the finches...
