Jeffrey Kurland
"MANHATTAN BRIDGE", Abstract Painting, Yellow, Ultramarine, Structure, New York

2020

About the Item

The abstract painting "MANHATTAN BRIDGE" by Jeffrey Kurland is acrylic on canvas measuring 24" tall by 24" wide. MANHATTAN BRIDGE is new work from the long summer of 2020. Often employing paints and pigments from surprising sources (automotive manufacturers, industrial finishers), here specifically the artist uses yellow oxide, ultramarine and primary yellow to develop a crystalline structure on canvas reminiscent of the steel girders framing New York's famous landmark. Jeffrey has developed his own methods and techniques to achieve this structure. He doesn't use brushes but pours and directs the paint using a variety of methods. Kurland embraces spontaneity and intuition – there are no preparatory sketches. In this manner he pursues as much as captures the painting. Innovating technically, building structure on the canvas and pushing color abstraction forward on his own terms – bending, breaking, flowing and channeling color. Broad gesture and active, tactile surfaces emerge from the canvas through his experimental process and approach to materials, application and composition. Jeffrey Kurland received his BFA in Painting and Printmaking from the University of Michigan, and an MFA in Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan. He’s been living and working in New York City since 1976, developing his art practice which includes painting, drawing, collage, monoprints, and book arts.
