Marc Raphael Landscape Paintings

American, b. 1964
Upon his first encounter with the groundbreaking work of Jackson Pollock, Marc Raphael was struck by the grand scale, vibrant energy, bold color, and abstraction that would ignite a lifelong creative passion. Inspired by the New York abstract expressionists of the 1940s and ’50s, the US-based artist began a self-taught journey into action painting in 1991, channeling the movement’s raw intensity into his evolving style. After living in Paris and graduating from college, Raphael balanced his artistic pursuits with a 25-year career as a K–12 classroom teacher. The tragic loss of his brother in 1982 shaped his commitment to making a difference in the lives of children from underserved communities. Though his years in education brought countless rewarding experiences, the call of the studio ultimately became irresistible, and in 2020, he devoted himself fully to painting. Raphael has refined a distinctive drip-and-splatter technique that merges physicality and creative flow. His large-scale abstracts demand full-body engagement, a natural extension of his years competing in basketball. The process is kinetic and immersive, an athletic choreography in which movement and mark-making become inseparable, resulting in works that pulse with dynamic energy. In his studio, raw, unstretched canvas is spread across the floor, ready to receive the first intuitive gestures of acrylic paint. Diluted pigments seep into the cotton fibers, creating a smooth, tactile ground. Then begins the rapid succession of drips, splashes, and swirling strokes, executed while pivoting around the composition. Each work emerges through a delicate balance of intention and instinct, as formal elements of color, line, and texture steer the painting toward its final form. This fusion of discipline and spontaneity mirrors the improvisational rhythm of jazz, a parallel that has led Raphael’s paintings to be described as “jazz-like improvisations on canvas.” Raphael’s bold, expressive works can be found in private collections and exhibitions across the United States, including the largest affordable art gallery in Los Angeles and the Affordable Art Fair New York. His dynamic abstractions continue to connect with audiences drawn to their vitality and scale.

Beautiful Chaos #7 by Lucy Moore [2022] Beautiful Chaos #7 - An Original semi-abstract painting by Lucy Moore. Using her signature string grass technique Lucy has created a semi-abstract twist to her classic meadow paintings. Colourful pastels flowers beneath a sunlit skyline. This piece would brighten any home or office, bring a little of the outside inside. We love Lucy Moore's original meadow paintings. They are full of colour and energy at affordable prices Additional information: Original Acrylic on canvas Image size: H:76 cm x W:76 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:76 cm x W:76 cm x D:1.5cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look I have always enjoyed being creative but lacked the confidence to pursue a career as an artist, after many nudges from family and friends I decided to bite the bullet.I set out on my artists adventure in Feb 2014 I used my loft for a studio and spent every spare moment experimenting and creating. In Feb 2015 I signed up to several online galleries, every painting I sold boosted my confidence and I would spend hour daydreaming of becoming a full time artist. Since then I have come a long way and have been able to purchase my own studio, I now have a little sanctuary in my back garden. When I am not working as a part time book keeper, I can be found hidden away in my studio creating original artworks. I am inspired by the nature around me, from flourishing meadows to the crashing waves in the ocean, however I do like to add my own twist on things. I do love to work freely with abstract using colours and textures to guide me. For me Art is a necessity, I need to paint. The colours and images that swirl round my head daily I capture on canvas. I feel very privileged to have sold my work all over the world. My dream is to become a full time artist, With each painting I sell I take a step closer to achieving my goal. 13/08/2018 I took a leap of faith. Currently working as a full time artists. "If you give up on your dreams, what's left?" (Jim Carrey)
