About the Item
This enigmatic and atmospheric abstract painting—signed lower right—features a striking typographic element reading “HIJKLYN,” embedded within a densely worked surface of gestural brushstrokes, dark tonal fields, and radiating circular forms. Likely painted in the mid-20th century, the work bridges elements of American postwar abstraction with hints of surrealist automatism and the Dada-inflected use of text as image.
The composition evokes industrial materiality and psychological depth, employing a limited palette of black, gray, and earthen hues, offset by the precise, almost mechanical concentric linework and the ghostly form beneath the lettering.
Highlights:
Signed lower right in red:
Central text reads “HIJKLYN,” suggesting a conceptual or place-based narrative (possibly a coded reference to Brooklyn)
Executed in oil on canvas with layered, textured brushwork and incised line drawing
Strong graphic impact and Surrealist undertones
Original distressed frame with gray-washed patina
