Xanda McCagg Art
American, b. 1959
Xanda McCagg is an American abstract artist who lives and works in the Chelsea neighborhood in New York City. A classically trained painter, she has evolved into a style that abandons figuration in search of evoking the human essence. McCagg creates her abstract compositions using a mixture of oil, graphite and collage. Although she began her practice as a figurative painter, she has abandoned the figure in search of more intimate portrayals of the human essence. Rather than planning precisely where her composition will lead her, McCagg intuits throughout her process the minimum amount needed to manifest the essence of what she calls “the fine line between perception and imagination of these relationships.”

'The Eagle' - Orange and White Large Bird - Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting
By David Leviathan
Located in Carmel, CA
"The Phoenix" by David Leviathan is a 28" x 40" oil on canvas that embodies the essence of abstract animal painting. In this work, Leviathan utilizes a palette of soft whites, creams, and earth tones, accented with vibrant strokes of red and gold, to depict the mythical bird rising from the ashes. The painting's style is characterized by sweeping, textured brushstrokes that convey the fiery rebirth and dynamic movement of the phoenix. The composition radiates a sense of renewal and hope, capturing the transformative power of nature and myth. Leviathan's approach is both evocative and ethereal, inviting viewers to consider themes of resilience, rejuvenation, and the cyclical nature of life.
About the Artist:
David Leviathan, born on August 6, 1950, in Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Israel, is a multifaceted Israeli artist whose talents span painting, sculpture, and poetry. After serving in the military, he studied at the Avni Institute of Fine Arts and worked under the guidance of Yehezkel Streichman...
