Abstract Art

ABSTRACT STYLE

Beginning in the early 20th century, abstract art became a leading style of modernism. Rather than portray the world in a way that represented reality, as had been the dominating style of Western art in the previous centuries, abstract paintings, prints and sculptures are marked by a shift to geometric forms, gestural shapes and experimentation with color to express ideas, subject matter and scenes.

Although abstract art flourished in the early 1900s, propelled by movements like Fauvism and Cubism, it was rooted in the 19th century. In the 1840s, J.M.W. Turner emphasized light and motion for atmospheric paintings in which concrete details were blurred, and Paul Cézanne challenged traditional expectations of perspective in the 1890s.

Some of the earliest abstract artists — Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint — expanded on these breakthroughs while using vivid colors and forms to channel spiritual concepts. Painter Piet Mondrian, a Dutch pioneer of the art movement, explored geometric abstraction partly owing to his belief in Theosophy, which is grounded in a search for higher spiritual truths and embraces philosophers of the Renaissance period and medieval mystics. Black Square, a daringly simple 1913 work by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, was a watershed statement on creating art that was free “from the dead weight of the real world,” as he later wrote.

Surrealism in the 1920s, led by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Meret Oppenheim and others, saw painters creating abstract pieces in order to connect to the subconscious. When Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York during the mid-20th century, it similarly centered on the process of creation, in which Helen Frankenthaler’s expressive “soak-stain” technique, Jackson Pollock’s drips of paint, and Mark Rothko’s planes of color were a radical new type of abstraction.

Conceptual art, Pop art, Hard-Edge painting and many other movements offered fresh approaches to abstraction that continued into the 21st century, with major contemporary artists now exploring it, including Anish Kapoor, Mark Bradford, El Anatsui and Julie Mehretu.

1969 psychedelic poster created by Lee Conklin for It's a Beautiful Day and Aum
Located in PARIS, FR
Beautiful 1969 psychedelic poster created by Lee Conklin for It's a Beautiful Day and the blues-rock ephemeral Aum at the Fillmore West. Lee Conklin is an artist best known for his psychedelic posters from the late 1960s and particularly for his iconic cover for Santana's first album. At the time, photography was the basis of advertising, while psychedelic graphics were done by hand and were mostly based on an illustration concept. The posters of this movement claim a new aesthetic: the flashy and warm colors, the shapes and moving typography and the density of the motif that invades the space translate the psychedelic vision, often associated with the taking of substances such as LSD.

Baram 22
Located in Goyang-si, KR
The word "Baram" has two meanings in Korean: "wish (feel or express a strong desire or hope for something that is not easily attainable)" and "wind (the perceptible natural movement of the air)." The "Baram Series" portrays the moment of the air that's stopped in a simple two-dimensional form. Thus, the wind in the Baram Series represents the "present", which means the wind that has already blown represents the "past", and the wind that is about to blow represents the "future". Our wind in the past may be calm or turbulent. Regardless, the present is filled with hope, strongly wishing for the future wind to guide us to happiness. Maybe, these winds in our lives are dictated by our choices, and Baram Series embodies wish to deliver hope to all viewers facing the winds of their choices. Geonwoo Lee...

Constant Change - large, bright, colourful, geometric abstract acrylic on canvas
Located in Bloomfield, ON
Master Colourist Milly Ristvedt is playing with the classic grid pattern in this fun abstract painting. Geometric shapes—squares, rectangles, and fine lines in fresh, modern colours—orange, yellow, turquoise, green, purple, and royal blue appear to float against the celery green backdrop. Art Critic Barry Lord (Art in America) declared that Ristvedt’s paintings ‘were more insistent than Bush, more consciously structured than Molinari. “Colour is the philosopher’s stone that for me represents hope in a time of great challenge for us all.” Milly Ristvedt Born in British Columbia, Ristvedt studied at the Vancouver School of Art (now the Emily Carr University) and had her first solo exhibit at the Carmen Lamanna Gallery in Toronto. In the late 1960s, Ristvedt shared a studio with famed Canadian painter Jack Bush, met art critic Clement Greenberg and was inspired by American painters Jules Olitiski...

All Realities (Abstract Geometric Painting in Orange, Sienna, Yellow on Panel)
Located in Hudson, NY
Contemporary abstract geometric painting on 12 x 12 inch wood panel in colorful shades of orange, burnt sienna, with pops of yellow, grey, and white 'Mistress of All Realities', 2020, by Jeanette Fintz 12 x 12 x 2 inches, acrylic on wood panel Signed verso D-rings on reverse, simple hanging on two nails *There are three other paintings in the series, see REF LU2278336542 to purchase a set of 4 works The basic form, comprised of rotating circles stems from a geometric configuration created in a large abstraction from 2019 that strongly evoked a maternal quality because of it’s self generating fractal - like growth pattern. Off - shoots of hexagons and rhomboid shapes extend from the circles like building blocks, cellular connections, the underpinnings of unity at the base level of life. Working in a space between planning and chance, Jeanette Fintz presents a series of paintings that fuse gestural and geometric abstraction. This body of work continues Fintz’s use of the circle, ellipse and hexagon; motifs that embody references to nature, architecture and the decorative arts. The small paintings from this series offer a bright burst of form and color that would compliment any modern interior. Jeanette Fintz is an established artist working in the Hudson Valley, NY. She has taught at the School of Design Strategies at Parsons the New School for Design, SUNY Purchase, and Pratt Institute, among other American universities. Her work is collected in both private and corporate collections worldwide. To read more about her career, please scroll down for see her detailed CV and biography. Artist Statement: My paintings evolve in a space between planning & chance, systems & spontaneity, conveying contradictions that I view as metaphors for maneuvering through “real “life. In this work I play a fairly high stakes game of improvisation around a motif. Using a working method akin to jazz, I counterpoint systematically repeated elliptical shapes against gestural pours & drips and something unexpected emerges. I am drawn to create complexity, and challenged to unify multiple layers through the physicality of the paint, which fuses & knits together, as well as, ultimately, through the power of color to stabilize & resolve. The ellipse, which is hypnotic & spatial in repetition, & monumental, but not static as a shape unto itself, embodies references to nature and to the decorative arts which are both alluded to in the paintings. (The egg, the mirror, the vulva, or the shield.) Dynamic visual rhythms, in these pieces, the momentum of the repetitive ellipse, are typical of my work and help to maintain order within complexity. Their sources for me are both musical, notably the poly-rhythms of Latin jazz, Brazilian & East Indian music, and are also derived from the decorative arts, particularly textiles. The latter have been a source of excitement, often contributing a playful aspect to the paintings. I intentionally disturb the regularity of pattern, encouraging discordance & uniqueness, and then bring it back home after finding another by - way to work things through. Color is my most intuitive source of inspiration, connecting me to nature; It is also, ironically, my most passionately calculated element. In the primal struggle among sometimes apparently random components, subtlely modulated color clarifies purpose, builds context, and holds the structure together. The intuitive rhythmic order of Jeanette’s paintings prior to 2009 which featured repetitive lines, circles and ellipses clashing with fluid gestural streams of color have given way fully in the new work to a given crystalline geometric substructure that unifies all visual events. This work embraces and employs the Oneness found in sacred geometry as the underpinning for improvised pathways that give each work its uniqueness. Shapes that are found have a “role” to play, to riff off some of Jeanette’s series titles. The earlier pieces acknowledge through the unexpected visual event, the imperfection of the human condition while the newer geometries strive for the expression of spiritual wholeness and connection. About the artist: Jeanette Fintz is an abstract painter, who resides and paints in Hudson, NY. She is also an arts writer and independent curator. The intermix of being a native New Yorker and now, happily, a resident of the lush Hudson River Valley is evident in her work, which combines an urban edginess with the lyrical influences of her natural surroundings. Ms. Fintz was born in Brooklyn NY, educated at Queens College, The New York Studio School and Boston University. Her personal amalgam of NY School formalist principles, and love of natural light and color was initially forged during her summer at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture where she painted from the Maine landscape. Ms. Fintz lived and worked in the artist communities of Tribeca and Williamsburg, exhibiting regularly in NYC. Jeanette in part, credits the importance of natural light for her decision to transplant home and studio to Surprise. Ms Fintz has filtered nature through her urban sensibility, stretching color motifs towards the heightened and intensified palette often found in the realms of design and fashion. Her pieces have a rhythmic impact stemming both from her enjoyment of jazz and poly-rhythms of Brazilian and Indian origin, which she also sees displayed in the visual rhythms found in textiles and Islamic tile patterns. Jeanette’s involvement with these resources was enhanced by sabbatical travel to Spain’s Andalusia Region (2005 & 2009) to investigate patterning systems found in Moorish tiles and architecture, and to Turkey (2013), where she focused on the Iznik, Byzantine and Greco-Roman tiles and frescoes. Jeanette also had immersed herself in textile patterns and Ikat designs during her yearlong sojourn in Malaysia, where she was founding faculty in a new Parsons School of Design affiliate in Kuala Lumpur (1996-97). Selected Grants and Awards include 2015 EYP Architecture & Engineering Award, Artists of the Mohawk Hudson Region 2015 Trustees Award, Albany Institute of History & Art 2013 Sabbatical, Parsons the New School For Design 2008 The Emil & Dines Carlsen Award / Painting, National Academy of Design 2005 Sabbatical, Parsons the New School for School Design 2005 Sudden Opportunity Stipend 2003 Faculty Development Award, Parsons, the New School for School for Design 1995-92 Sudden Opportunity Stipend, NYFA Rensselaer County Council for the Arts 1993 N Y F A, Artists Fellowship / Drawing 1990 E. D. Foundation Grant / Painting 1984 Ludwig Vogelstein Grant / Painting 1980 The Ingram Merrill Award / Painting 1975 Purchase Prize, Painting, Skowhegan School for Painting & Sculpture Ms Fintz has taught as an Assistant Professor of Art & Design, in the School of Design Strategies at Parsons the New School for Design for 17 years. At Purchase College, SUNY, Jeanette taught all levels of painting and drawing for 12 years as Assistant Professor in the BFA conservatory program. She also has taught at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, Geneva, NY, The University of Southern Maine, Portland, The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA, and SUNY, Albany. Jeanette shows her work at the Garvey Simon Gallery, New York, NY, Fox Gallery, New York, NY, Geoffrey Young Gallery, Great Barrington MA, the Thompson Giroux Gallery, Chatham NY, Cross Contemporary Gallery, Saugerties, NY. Recent projects include a solo show at Garvey Simon Gallery, NY NY (Sept. 7 - Oct, 2017), and a curatorial project, "The Ritual of Construction," at the Kleinert James Center, Woodstock Byrdcliff Guild (May 19 - July , 2017). Ms Fintz’s Residencies and Fellowships include: The MacDowell Colony, The Millay Colony for the Arts, The Ucross Foundation, and Altos De Chavon & Ossabaw Island Project. Jeanette’s selected Visiting Artist spots include Art New England, Bennington College, Bennington, VT, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, Illinois State University, Normal, IL, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, Geneva NY. Ms. Fintz received her MFA from Boston Universtiy SFA (1975 ), and her BA from Queens College CUNY (1972). She attended the New York Studio School (1972-73), and received a scholarship to the Skowhegan School in 1975. Ms Fintz’s work can be found in many national & international collections.

Beneath the Shining Sun (abstracted field of flowers in yellow and pastel)
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract acrylic painting on canvas with a pastel purple, yellow, and green palette “Beneath the Shining Sun”, painted by Ragellah Rourke in 2022 30 x 30 inches, oil on canvas Sides are cleanly painted so additional framing is optional Wire backing for easy hanging Artist signature located on the back This contemporary, abstract painting was created by Hudson Valley based artist, Ragellah Rourke in 2022. Her most recent body of work focuses on relationships between color and space. Elements of symbolism, reminiscent of Gustav Klimt, decorate the composition with abstract markings and calligraphic gestural brushwork. Warm yellow and purple tones with hints of green radiate upwards into a background of white, recalling the awaking the nature during the beginning of spring. There is wire installed on the back for easy hanging. The painting’s sides are cleanly painted so additional framing is optional. Artist Statement: My paintings are very textural and built up slowly over long periods of time. The surface holds the memory of the painting’s development, all the time looking for clues for what will come next. I look for connections between the forms that develop. They are never something that I logically calculate, but rather a long string of chances, thoughts, and guesses. The appearance and meaning develop throughout the progression of the painting. It is a continuous search for resolution, balance and mystery within the painting.
