About the Item
Artist: Tom Bolles (1953- )
Title: Triangles #3 & #4 Attempting to Mate
Date: 1987
Medium: acrylic, sand and canvas
Size: 21 x 44.25 inches
Signature: signed, titled, dated on reverse
This work is best described as minimalist abstraction, but that does not quite do it justice. The surface, composed of acrylic and sand on shaped canvas is both highly textured and richly varied in palette. The result is a depth and luminosity that are almost pulsating. The left triangle looks like cooling lava. The right triangle has a pearlescent appearance. The contrast between the two triangles and the fact that they are triangles are both striking compositional statements. The work is a parallelogram composed of two triangles of equal size. It measures 21 inches x 44.25 inches. It is composed of acrylic and sand on canvas. It is signed, titled, dated on the reverse, Tom Bolles, “Triangles #3 ad #4 Attempting to Mate”, acrylic & sand / canvas, 21” x 44 ¼”, 1987. The work is in good condition, with a few very light surface scratches visible only on very close inspection.
The well-known artist and art critic DeWitt Cheng described Bolles’ work best in his 2015 essay, “The acrylic paintings of San Franciscan Tom Bolles fit generally within the tradition of minimalist abstraction, but, with their stripes, striations, textures and transparent glazes of vibrant color, they seem not only to possess pictorial depth (through their subtle color variations, not perspective), but also to radiate light. They radiate a force field that draws us in and holds us. Some Bolles work reminds us of the fluorescent light works of Dan Flavin; others suggest the experience of space, light and color that we associate with the installation works of James Turrell.”

Untitled 564
By Joe Doyle
Located in San Francisco, CA
This painting with added elements is an excellent example of Joe Doyle’s abstract illusionist art. It is composed of acrylic on shaped canvas with fabric elements added. It measures 36 x 43 inches. Each edge has been painted except for the left edge which has a frame. The right edge has been shaped. The black elements of the tent-like structure are added fabric. The work is signed, titled "564" and dated on the reverse. As well it bears a label from Harcourts Gallery, a gallery in San Francisco during the 1980s and 1990s. The work is in very good condition.
Joe Doyle established himself as a painter during the movement toward new abstraction in San Francisco in the mid-seventies. Stylistically his work evolved from photo-realist renderings of aircraft which exaggerated differences in focus of background and foreground" By 1975 his imagery shifted to arrangements of flat, geometric forms and tubular squiggles in a trompe l'oeil manner that created the illusion of a multi-layered, three dimensional space. By the late 1970s Doyle, along with James Havard, Jack Reilly, George D. Green, and others, had attained national prominence working this style now referred to as Abstract Illusionism. Doyle and others were included in 'Reality of Illusion' a large touring exhibition of primarily American illusionist artists organized by the University of Southern California and The Denver Art Museum.
Doyle enrolled at San Francisco State College receiving his M.A. in 1971. From 1971 to 1975 he was a photo-realist transferring images from photographs using airbrush techniques on canvas, occasionally adding political satire into the subject matter, as in "Ice House...
