Steven H. Rehfeld
"The New York" Large Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract by Steven Rehfeld

2002

About the Item

Steven Rehfeld's "The New York" is a 50" x 40" mixed media abstract that encapsulates the vibrant and frenetic energy of the city. The canvas bursts with a bold palette of sky blues, soft grays, and pops of warm oranges and reds, intersected by dynamic lines and geometric shapes. This contemporary piece is a collage of textures and forms, suggesting the overlapping stories and architecture of an urban landscape. The artwork conveys a sense of organized chaos and the pulse of city life. Rehfeld's technique creates depth and complexity, inviting the viewer to explore the layered nuances of the city's spirit. Steven H. Rehfeld is now one of the top emerging artists in the U.S. His works are groundbreaking, bold, and imbued with unflinching disregard for painting conventions. Many works are in collections and museums in the U.S. Steven is also part of the 'Outsiders' school of art, originating in France in the 19th century. Also known as the Naïve movement, and was comprised of people with no art training at all, who suddenly started to paint. Many of them are from very challenging backgrounds. All they had was talent that had never before been tapped. In no time this movement became a significant art phenomenon and spread all over the world. His work, however, has branched out past the movement and his use of earth elements renders a basic and raw interpretation of his message. Original, 1-of-1. Available at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Keywords: mixed media, contemporary, large, abstract, vibrant, energy, bold, blues, grays, warm oranges, reds, geometric, lines, textures, urban, pulse, depth, Steven H. Rehfeld

'Subliminal' Colorful Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract by Steven H. Rehfeld
By Steven H. Rehfeld
Located in Carmel, CA
This 20" x 30" contemporary abstract mixed media piece by Steven Rehfeld is a captivating exploration of form, color, and texture. The composition features a harmonious blend of soft pastel hues — calming blues, delicate pinks, and mellow yellows — juxtaposed against more assertive tones of deep magenta, vibrant orange, and charcoal gray. The painting showcases Rehfeld's signature style of blending geometric shapes, notably triangles and circles, with freer, more organic brushstrokes. The added depth is achieved through the inclusion of mixed media elements: fragments of paper with faint sketches, scribbles, and translucent overlays create a multidimensional visual experience. The smoky, sinuous black mark towards the center adds a hint of dynamism, while the layered application of paint and paper produces a tactile richness, making the piece an engaging visual journey.
