Large Multi-Colored Abtract Painting "Color In Space" by John Link
About the Item
A large acrylic and alkyd colorfield painting by Late artist John Link (1942-2021) titled" Color in Space", 2007
Framed in the artist's chosen wooden frame, the title describes the painting. Link's works are more powerful in person than can be experienced on a screen. The depth of color is a result of initial layers of applied pigment ground after the canvas was sized, with additional layers of acrylic mixed with resin and turpentine creating rich fields of transparent yet undiluted color.
Link on his own work:
"Apart from the color per se, which is enough of a treat, I like the transparencies, the sharpness/cleanness of the contours, the clarity of definition, the apparent lightness or fineness of the layers despite the chromatic richness/intensity, the elegance of the overall effect."
John Link was a talented painter, educator, and thinker; a certified genius, he contributed writings to a number of art publications and was regarded for his opinions and preferences within the contemporary art world during his time, as well as a deep knowledge of the work and lives of his ab-ex forebears. He described his painting in terms that lead one to think that his approach to each canvas could be either an exaltation of or struggle with the medium, but that in terms of ideas he was attempting to express through his work, there was only one:
"'The only idea is to paint like there is no tomorrow, because there may not be".

- Large Red and Blue Abstract Painting "Temporary Ephedrine" by John LinkBy John LinkLocated in Greensboro, NCDynamic layered blue & red abstract acrylic painting on canvas by the Late Midwestern Artist John Link, mounted in a wood frame. This work, entitled "Temporary Ephedrine", is one of several large Link pieces available exemplifying his technique of richly layering tones of acrylic paint using an alkyd spirit resin. Link detailed this process: “The medium is indeed "acrylic" but not what most people mean by acrylic - which is waterborne acrylic. Instead this is acrylic resin dissolved in turps, with a dash of alkyd resin thrown in to stabilize it so the next layers of paint do not re-dissolve it. Thus it does not muddle up like repeated layers of watercolor can. This stuff does not yellow either, like oil, and a glass of it looks like a glass of water, it is that clear, thus preserving the intensity of the pigment. Also, because it is clear when wet, there is no "pastel effect" like you get with waterborne acrylic, where you must let a glaze dry before you see what you have. It is WYSIWYG to the core." Link (1942 - 2021) was born in Oklahoma City, began his career in Illinois, headed the art dept at Virginia Tech...Category
