About the Item
A striking example of American Op Art, this acrylic on canvas painting by James Massena March (1953–2021) captivates with its rhythmic optical illusion and bold black-and-white composition. Executed with razor-sharp precision, the work features undulating zebra-like forms that appear to ripple across the canvas, creating a hypnotic sense of movement and dimensionality. March, known for his rigorous approach to geometry and visual perception, explores the boundaries between order and chaos in this immersive, kinetic piece.
Rendered in acrylic on canvas and dating from the 1980s, this work reflects March's deep engagement with visual experimentation and optical theory. It is a commanding and dynamic addition to any contemporary or mid-century modern collection, equally compelling as a standalone piece or as part of an art-forward interior. Professionally mounted and ready to hang. initialed on verso.

Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
By Andrea Spinelli
Located in Firenze, IT
The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years.
The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city.
The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities.
The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper.
The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message.
The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame.
