Modernist Abstract Painting - Aerial Urban View of a City, ca 1980

ca 1980

About the Item

As with most abstract paintings, one wants to find some sort of figural depiction within the overall composition of the work. Having owned this painting for quite a few years, I have concluded that it most likely represents the energetic nature of a city, from above and at night. Acrylic or oil on a solid wood board, the explosion of colors has a definite pattern that could very well represent the built pattern of a large city. The work is not signed and by the age of the board and what appears to be the original frame, it appears to be 1980’s. The painting measures 19” x 24 1/4” and wi the walnut frame 20” x 25 1/4”. The frame has a silvered finish on its outer edge and has small gaps at the corners that appear intentional. Both the painting and the frame are in good condition with no real issues to report. Because of the painting’s application to a wood board, the piece weights about twelve pounds, but is easily hang able. If you appreciate urban patterns and design, this energetic and colorful vintage abstract painting might be for you and it is ready to hang on the wall and enjoy.

By Cecil Touchon
Located in West Palm Beach, FL
Painting on Panel signed verso Cecil Touchon Born 1956 Austin, Texas is a contemporary American collage artist, painter, published poet and theorist living in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Co-founder of the International Post-Dogmatist Group, Touchon is director of the group's Ontological Museum, Founder of the International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction and founder of the International Society of Assemblage and Collage Artists. In 2005 an exhibition was held in Cuernavaca, Mexico entitled "Cecil Touchon - Thirty Years of Fluxing Around" in which art works and scores dating as early as 1975 were exhibited showing the fluxus tendency in Touchon's work over the last thirty years. Touchon has never been formally associated with the Fluxus group until the year 2000 with his participation in the Fluxlist - an email group where the current generation fluxus artists interact and collaborate. In 2002 Touchon, with a number of other artists from the Fluxlist established the Fluxnexus - a group of artists working together on various new Fluxus projects including a new Fluxus performance workbook. In 2006 Touchon established the FluxMuseum in order to assemble and archive samples of works by contemporary 21st Century Fluxus artists. The central focus of the Fluxmuseum has been the creation of Fluxus related publications and curating and mounting international exhibitions of Fluxus art called Fluxhibitions. Touchon co...
