David Schluss Abstract Paintings

Israeli, American, b. 1943
David Schluss is a celebrated Israeli artist known for his expressive, rhythm-filled compositions that blend figurative abstraction, symbolism, and a vivid, almost musical use of color. Born in 1943 in Israel, Schluss began his artistic journey at a young age and later pursued formal training in fine arts in Canada, where he refined his distinctive visual language. Schluss’s work is characterized by flowing, elongated figures that often appear to float or dance through space, capturing moments of intimacy, celebration, and spiritual reflection. His subjects—often musicians, lovers, and mythic characters—are rendered in richly textured surfaces, using techniques that involve layering paint and applying it with his fingers and palette knives to create a tactile, sculptural quality on canvas. A master of serigraphy (silkscreen printing), Schluss has produced numerous limited-edition prints, many of which are hand-signed and embellished, and often include special editions such as Hors de Commerce (HC) prints. His work has been exhibited extensively in galleries throughout North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and is held in private collections around the world. Through his art, Schluss conveys a sense of universal human connection, often evoking themes of love, harmony, and movement. His style is frequently compared to Marc Chagall for its lyrical and dreamlike qualities, yet remains wholly original in its emotional intensity and visual rhythm.

Peruvian Expressionist Oil Painting Miguel Aybar Modernist Latin American Art

Located in Surfside, FL

Dimensions: (Frame) H 28.5" x W 35.5" (Painting) H 22" x W 30" Miguel Ángel Aybar Llauca, an artist specializing in expressionist painting, was born in Huancavelica and lives in the city of Ica where he began drawing from a very young age, drawing from its beautiful valleys and customs. In 1970 he began his studies in Drawing, Painting and Sculpture at the Regional School of Ica. He is a graduate of the National Superior Autonomous School of Fine Arts of Peru (1971-1976) with honorable mention, forming the promotion "Juan Manuel Ugarte Eléspuru". "Iqueño Expressionism" is the title of the exhibition that will be available to the public from May 25 to June 13 in the "Paracas" Room of the "Adolfo Bermúdez Jenkins" Regional Museum of Ica. Av. Ayabaca block 8°. Miguel Angel Aybar is a painter who characterizes expressionism in Ica without a doubt. His songs speak of longing, and secret friendships with the hurango, the palm tree of Huacachina or the silent and still sand of Ica. His work is primarily characterized by color. The contrasts between the intense dark contrasted with the radiance of reds, oranges, yellows or greens, achieve a positive effect on the observer. Its warm tones reach high levels like an Ica sun at noon. However, among those quasi Servulian colors , Andean prints maintain their presence. Hats, ponchos or skirts hidden from a root bound by blood or memories. The perfect textures of his works give him the seal, the personality that characterizes a curdled and experienced Aybar who no longer needs to dialogue with the brush; they just flow, hand and brush. When entering the exhibition hall, you do not need to read the signature, he is an Aybar. There is no room for confusion. Although there are not a few artists from Ica who use these boiling tones, and I translate it as a tribute to that Sérvulo that touches you in the depths of your being, if you are an artist and you live in Ica, you want to be possessed by the ghost of the disturbing Sérvulo Gutiérrez turned legend. Servulus still catches the spectator being absorbed, as if observing a volcano, fearing that it might erupt, but with an inexplicable delight that he stops you next to him and captures you. However, Aybar no longer needs Servulo's shadow, he has gained an important space in the artistic world of Ica. He is an artist and a close friend of poets and musicians. Painter recognized by the Ica society and deserving of all the medals and recognitions by the different institutions. He not only paints with mastery, as Alberto Dávila predicted, when he said that his maturity would give him the position that corresponds to him. He now sings in public to the delight of his closest friends. Ica recognizes him as a son and has given him the place that corresponds to this remarkable painter whom I congratulate. DATA ABOUT THE ARTIST Miguel Angel Aybar Yauca, was born in 1952 in Huancavelica. He has lived in Ica since he was very young; he began his art studies at the Ica Regional School of Fine Arts. He later moved to Lima to study at the National Autonomous School of Fine Arts of Peru from where he graduated in 1976. His teacher Alberto Dávila described him as: a restless, imaginative young man with a sober and dramatic color. His forms acquire poise and great eloquence . Aybar also had the painter Carlos Aitor Castillo...
