Counterpoint - Large Abstract Oil Painting

1993

Parris Jaru's Building Babylon is a 48 x 36 inches oil painting. The main colors are blue, yellow and brown. The surface is defined by a thick impasto of paint, made with plant-based pigments that Jaru collects himself during his long exploratory trips through India.

Ancient Aperture by Andrei Petrov is a striking abstract painting that merges natural textures with emotive abstraction. A palette of muted greens, golden yellows, and soft blues is punctuated by a vivid red accent, creating a captivating interplay of calm and energy. Petrov’s layered textures and translucent brushstrokes suggest elements of a fragmented landscape, reimagined as a dreamlike aperture into the past.
