About the Item
FORD, Original Contemporary Abstract Expressionist Painting, 2020
40" x 30" x 2" (HxWxD) Oil on Canvas
Hand-signed by the artist.
Framed with a 1/2" white wood frame.
Working in the style of abstract expressionism, artist William O'Connor's use of gestural brushwork and a bold color palette are reminiscent to that of Hans Hofmann. Pops of orange, yellow, and purple offset the black and white used elsewhere in the composition. Inspired by the intricacies of the underside of a car, this painting is composed of abstract shapes, born out of the artist's imagination, to evoke complexity. The inclusion of black lines to delineate some of these shapes is reminiscent to the grease used in an auto shop.
Comes with hanging hardware: metal brackets on both sides with multi-strand cable picture hanging wire.
Artist Commentary:
If you have ever been underneath a car up on the rack, then you may have been fascinated by all of the parts, smell, framework, dirt, grime, and grease. This series honors the big, stylish American cars of the 1950's and 1960's. It all comes back through memories of working on and touching the underside of these power machines. My thoughts keep on cruising down "E" Street in San Bernardino, CA.
About the Artist:
Beginning life in the heartland of America gave William O’Connor a sense of wonderment in the changing landscape and sky. The distinct seasons in Nebraska left indelible images for him to remember as a painter. The inspirations for his work often come from the recall of childhood memories in Lincoln and later on, life in Southern California. After exciting teenage years, there came a hitch in the US Navy serving his country. More images came from days on the open sea and fascinating foreign places. Subjects of his paintings may include: ancient myths; connections with animals and wildlife; historical places; as well as industrial images. The style and technique of his work evolved from the influence of Modernism and Abstract Expressionism as seen by the masters such as Willem de Kooning and Richard Diebenkorn. This type of painting allows William the freedom of expression especially with vibrant color, invented shapes, and fascinating details, to reveal his inner experience. Series are very prevalent in his work as well as triptychs, diptychs, and individual themes. While attending Otis Art Institute, LA Valley College, and Pasadena City College, William gained a fine art background during his studies of figure drawing, print making, sculpture, art history, ceramics, and other fundamental art courses. This experience served to drive him further into a deliberate pathway of eclectic study from several different institutions and by various professional artists. A great many afternoons during “closed to the public” hours, were spent studying and drawing from the Master’s paintings hanging in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena. From this formidable background in fine art came the choice to concentrate solely on the traditional medium of oil paint.

This large-format oil painting by artist William O'Connor is reminiscent of the abstract expressionist painter Arshile Gorky. With sporadic paint strokes and undulating organic shapes strewn about the canvas, this work has an energy and rhythm that carries the viewer on a journey. A golden yellow covers most of the composition, while shapes of red, blue, purple, and pink bring about moments of rest. Black and white contours...
