Matthew Schaefer Abstract Paintings
American
Matthew Schaefer is a Chicago-based artist whose work employs gestural brush strokes with figurative subjects to portray emotion and energy in a flat portrait. The bright colors and distorted features give the figure an almost fauvist appearance. Schaefer attended the Silverman College of Art in Connecticut. His more recent paintings have explored a more minimal approach to painting.

"Spring Bouquet II, " Abstract Painting
By Christine Averill-Green
Located in Westport, CT
This abstracted floral painting by Christine Averill-Green is made with oil paint and gouache on gallery-wrapped canvas. It features a light, pastel palette, with varying green and pink tones applied in light, almost washy layers. The painting is wired and ready to hang.
"A play on the shapes in nature; how they change and flow," the artist says of this piece. "Ambiguous forms set against a symmetrical background. I am in awe of the tremendous energy that I see everywhere in the world. I tried to celebrate that in this painting."
Averill-Green has been exhibiting her artwork in galleries and museums in Upstate New York for over 40 years. She received her B.A. in Art and an M.S. in Art Education. Artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Euan Eglow, Antonio Lopez Garcia, and her teachers Catherine Kehoe...
