About the Item

“There is a basic human tendency to seek order in the current of experience in which we are constantly swimming. There is a variety of languages (scientific, artistic, and spiritual, as well as ordinary discursive) by which we attempt to organize our worlds, and they frequently borrow from one another–thus the richness of metaphor”. Susan Chrysler White, 2023 Chrysler White’s paintings are constructed by accumulating layers of acrylic and enamel paint on transparent glassine paper. The artist cuts and tears these laminations of glassine and collage them onto canvas. The paintings are not preconceived compositions. Her process is inherently messy, paint is dripped and poured and laid out to dry throughout the studio–and then she begins the process of collecting and arranging the fragments to form a visual narrative. The individual elements can appear at first glance to be mechanically generated, she is interested in the tension between appearance, and process in the work. Chrysler White mines personal resources accumulated by living in different cultures for a large part of her life. The artist grew up in Spain with ornate Arabic filigree in her home and the city around her, worked in India, founded an embroidery collective in Mexico, and taught in Rome with regular access to the Vatican Museum. In these cultures, as well as our own, she is drawn to the incredible range of visual form employed in the way people organize everyday objects in and around their homes to express some ritualistic meaning whether it be an altar, an artist’s studio, a home, or a garden. It somehow speaks to our human condition and our recognition of ourselves.

225 Circles V.2 - Contemporary Blue White Abstract Geometric Original Painting
By Brandon Neher
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Brandon Neher is a California artist whose original paintings on canvas embody a profound exploration of space, structure, and balance, infused with a touch of modern minimalism. Drawing inspiration from his coastal upbringing in California, Neher's art reveals layered references to his surroundings, merging physical and subconscious energies to create captivating shapes and patterns. This exceptional abstract artwork measures 30 inches square. Using acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, the artist meticulously crafted a uniform grid of 225 circles. The seemingly random arrangement of colors on the squares and circles creates a diffuse yet stimulating overall effect, inviting the viewer to explore every captivating detail. The artwork's sides are painted, eliminating the need for framing, and it comes wired and ready to hang. Neher's signature and title graces the back of the painting, ensuring its authenticity. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery accompanies your purchase. Born in Burbank, California, in 1983, Brandon Neher's artistic journey began after studying at the Brooks Institute of Photography for three years. His artistic prowess extends across a diverse range of mediums, including 16mm film, watercolor, oil, sculpture, charcoal, photography, mixed media collage, and print transfers. Neher finds inspiration in German expressionist painters, admiring their ability to convey narratives on canvas. His own creative process often involves carefully considering his images before bringing them to life, layering colors in a way that invites viewers to perceive familiar elements in a fresh and enlightening manner. Brandon Neher's artwork has garnered attention and acclaim, with exhibitions and collectors spanning the United States. His creations have even graced television productions such as ABC Family's Secret Life of the American Teenager, HGTV's Design on a Dime...
