About the Item
Orchestrated circular shapes of plum, mauve, coral and brown with gray and light brown and gold define the white ground of this 17 inches square minimalist acrylic painting on plexiglas. Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. Framed dimensions are 27 x 27 inches.
Cantine was quoted in the Alberta Biennial of Contemporary Art 2000: "For the past 36 years I have painted essentially the same still-life, which began as a pair of apples and its shadow and evolved, under pressure of color, into the present imagery. The pressure comes from the sense that color itself is the issue here. For example, apples will remain “apples” and only incidentally “red” unless re-drawn for the sake of the color. Thus the present imagery represents a kind of deconstruction of normal drawing. This is done by the strict use of symmetry, solid/unbroken color, non-overlapping shapes, and a single viewpoint perspective within a square format. All of these features (and others) have proven necessary in helping colors to achieve a clear position and dimension within the picture, a still-life of colorful space." David Cantine
Cantine may be referred to as a post-minimalist, a term coined by Robert Pincus-Witten in 1971 to describe work with a minimalist tendency but that uses modest materials and aims towards a pure formalist aesthetic
Framed dimensions 26.5 x 26.5 inches.

- Zen Garden - bright, floral, impasto, abstract expressionist, acrylic on canvasBy Adam CohenLocated in Bloomfield, ONA floral motif in shades of pink, blue, green and lemon is used in an all over pattern by artist Adam Cohen in this delightfully bright painting. Cohen intersects the language of Abstract Expressionism with narrative to re-invent the experience of action painting in a contemporary context. The artist is known for his applications of thick impasto, applied in layers that he cuts through and moves while the pigments are wet. Cohen studied at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art and lived and painted in Rome for a year. He was one of the first artists to use Photoshop, which helped launch his career as an illustrator. After many successful years as an illustrator he returned to his first love...Category
