About the Item

EMILY VAN HORN My soul purpose is as a catalyst for transformation. As a visual starting point I draw inspiration from urban surroundings, the crumbling splendor of a half torn down apartment in Barcelona, painted over graffiti on concrete walls under LA freeways, an engaging soundtrack or an intention setting meditation can all become resources. Gesture, line, shape, collage, and a variety of palettes, bring life to canvas, panel, or paper. With support of the grid for structure, intuitive marks begin the dialogue. A hierarchy emerges and decisions are made regarding what it essential and what must be let go. Layering and removing paint, adding and covering line, the conversation continues until a particular frequency resonates and there is a sense of balance and connection. The act of painting has been about letting go and surrendering to what wants to come through. For the viewer the work holds potential for trasnsformational impact, allowing for subtle or dramatic internal resulting in a vibrational shift, raising frequency, for those who resonate with it.

    By Linda Jacobson
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    The Prismatic Series is based on light, movement and color, abstract paintings expressing the changing qualities of the external world, without any limitations of form. Prismatic Series #2 is painted with many layers of oil glazes over acrylic washes to create luminous color. On gallery wrapped canvas. Linda Jacobson's paintings are lyrical abstractions inspired by her love of landscape and its elements: form, movement, light, and what she perceives to be its essence an energy or quality that goes beyond visual appearance.

  • 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. Andrea Spinelli...
