The artist signed the back of the painting.
"Blue Series" by Steven H. Rehfeld is an abstract mixed media piece that captivates with its dynamic play of color, form, and texture. The painting bursts with energy, as bold geometric shapes and sweeping brushstrokes collide and intertwine across the canvas. The varying shades of blue—ranging from deep, rich hues to lighter, almost ethereal tones—create a sense of movement and fluidity, evoking the feeling of constant motion and transformation.
Layered within this dynamic composition are bits of collage, adding depth and complexity to the work. The use of torn paper, scribbled lines, and patterns further intensifies the visual experience, while introducing an element of unpredictability that complements the structured elements of the shapes and colors. There’s a sense of balance between chaos and order, which invites the viewer to engage in a deeper exploration of the piece.
Rehfeld’s masterful handling of mixed media in "Blue Series" invites viewers to interpret the abstract landscape as a fluid representation of thought, emotion, and perception. It reflects both the inner turbulence and the calm that comes with embracing change.

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."
