Mala Breuer
Mala Breuer grew up attending classes in painting and drawing from a young age at the California College of Arts and Crafts.
After high school Breuer attended what is now San Francisco Art Institute, where she studied under many notable artists, including Richard Diebenkorn, Clyfford Still, David Park, and Mark Rothko.
Breuer matured as an artist in, and was profoundly affected by, the era of Abstract Expressionism, focusing more on material and application than representation. By the late 1960s, she was pouring water-thinned washes of acrylic paint onto large, wet, stretched, vertical canvases. During an exhibition of those works, a San Francisco gallerist suggested that she head to New York, where abstraction, Minimalism, and Conceptual art were continuing to gain traction. Breuer listened to this advice and set out for New York with intentions of staying only one year — she stayed for eight.
In New York, Breuer began working with a palette knife, making direct, abstract marks with dark colors and with great density. She gained recognition as a significant painter during her time there. In 1984 Breuer moved to northern New Mexico, a landscape that influenced her use of color, light, and more minimal compositions.

- Oil Painting By New York Artist Sandrine Kern 'Blue Water Lilies'By Sandrine KernLocated in White Plains, NY'Blue Water Lilies' by New York City based, French artist Sandrine Kern. 2021. Oil and cold wax on canvas, 30 x 70 in. This abstracted landscape painting features a pond and water lily scene in deep colors of blue, white, pink, red, and black. Sandrine Kern's Water Lily Series is a joyful, gestural interpretation of a pond with water lilies. A separate and beloved series from previous works, the lyrical brush strokes and dramatic color palettes are more free and figurative. Kern's practice combines oil sticks, oil paint, and cold wax to create a creamy, rich surface with subtle textured layers to portray the large-scale, zoomed-in water scenes. Sandrine Kern was born in Paris, France where she received an MFA from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. Her work has been shown nationally in solo shows at Madelyn Jordon Fine Art, OK Harris - New York, Thomas Paul Fine Art - Los Angeles, Gail Harvey Gallery - Santa Monica. She has also been shown at the San Francisco Art Fair, Dallas Art Fair, Chicago Art Fair, ART MRKT San Francisco, Art Miami, Toronto Art...Category
