Signed Abstract Oil Painting by Thomas Pulgini

About the Item

This vibrant oil on board painting by Thomas Pulgini featuromh a bold, stylized portrait of a woman, characterized by its vivid color blocks and fluid black outlines, draws clear inspiration from the Fauvism and Pop Art movements, blending vibrant, flat color fields with bold outlines and an emphasis on expressive abstraction, particularly the work of Roy Lichtenstein, whose comic-inspired, graphic aesthetic emphasized flat colors and bold outlines. The exaggerated eyes and lips are stylistically similar to the expressive portraits of Alex Katz, a key figure in the Contemporary Figurative Art movement, who often focused on simplifying human features to their most essential forms. The vivid palette and simplified, exaggerated forms are reminiscent of Henri Matisse's late cut-outs, such as The Dance or Blue Nude, where color and shape take precedence over fine detail. The graphic, outlined face also recalls Pablo Picasso's exploration of abstraction during his Synthetic Cubist phase, where recognizable subjects were fragmented and reassembled with simplified geometry. Picasso's works like Portrait of Dora Maar serve as a reference point for this piece's playful distortion of facial features. Thomas Pulgini, born 1965 in Wilmington Delaware, is a Philadelphia Mid-Century Modern Pop Artist, Self-Taught artist has been painting over past 30 years.
