Brandon Neher is a California artist whose original paintings on canvas embody a profound exploration of space, structure, and balance, infused with a touch of modern minimalism. Drawing inspiration from his coastal upbringing in California, Neher's art reveals layered references to his surroundings, merging physical and subconscious energies to create captivating shapes and patterns. This exceptional abstract artwork measures 30 inches square. Using acrylic and oil pastel on canvas, the artist meticulously crafted a uniform grid of 225 circles. The seemingly random arrangement of colors on the squares and circles creates a diffuse yet stimulating overall effect, inviting the viewer to explore every captivating detail. The artwork's sides are painted, eliminating the need for framing, and it comes wired and ready to hang. Neher's signature and title graces the back of the painting, ensuring its authenticity. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery accompanies your purchase. Born in Burbank, California, in 1983, Brandon Neher's artistic journey began after studying at the Brooks Institute of Photography for three years.

Bruce Rubenstein specializes in large-scale artworks, using huge canvases to tell his stories. Born and raised in New York, he moved to Los Angeles in 1985. His mixed media artworks defy categorization, blending abstract forms and organic shapes with subtle hints of figures and symbols. Adrien Brody and Mickey Rourke are among Rubenstein’s collectors. Bruce Rubenstein’s artistic influences include artists from Joan Miró and Jean Arp to Gerhard Richter and Pablo Picasso. “He is an artist, and that means someone who cannot restrain the flow of ideas,” says author David Rodgers. “He is someone who they just burst out of, who cannot help but communicate, and who sees no reason to stop. He’s a man not limited by media to communicate the stories that he needs to (and must) tell, through any medium he feels necessary.” His works are represented by Artplex Gallery Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including exhibitions in Austria and Israel.
