Oklahoma - Abstract Paintings

Anthony Dyke's "Solarium," a 74 x 48 x 1.25 inch oil on canvas painting, references solar flares in its use of shape and color. The bright values of yellows, reds and blues surround a large red circular shape. The bright color wavelengths give this painting a vibrational energy. Anthony Dyke was born in Norwich, Vermont and attended The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University earning a BFA and MFA in painting. As an artist and arts educator, he relocated from New York City to his down¬town Oklahoma City studio, working there for two decades before returning to Boston in 2020. Coming from VERMONT where the seasons are distinctly different from one another. My shift from a pastoral setting to an urban environment set up a dichotomy in my work, both visual and emotional. I have an extensive education in painting, photography, graphic design and figure sculpture. These mediums intersect in my work through many years of creating artworks and currently speak to my interest in abstract painting. During my senior year in the BFA Program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, my large painting “Natole” was chosen by Frank Stella (the juror) into the highly competitive and prestigious Dana Pond...

This 38" x 48" oil on canvas painting is by Boston-based artist Anthony Dyke. This abstract composition utilizes a dynamic arrangement of geometric planes and chromatic contrasts. The upper half of the canvas is dominated by a patchwork of interlocking rectangles and squares in saturated hues—forest green, cerulean blue, ochre, and sky blue. The interaction between cool and warm tones, especially the adjacency of the cerulean and orange segments, creates chromatic vibration and visual depth. The orange square is visually animated by vertical drips of ultramarine, which disrupt the otherwise rigid linearity and inject a gestural spontaneity into the composition. This juxtaposition between controlled structure and expressive mark-making recalls the dialogue between Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism. The presence of paint drips nods to the performative legacy of action painting while remaining confined within geometric borders. The bottom left introduces triangular forms in black and midnight blue, whose sharp angles contrast the rectilinear dominance above. Meanwhile, a large crimson and rose-pink field in the bottom right corner anchors the composition and introduces a field of atmospheric warmth. The application of paint varies—some fields are matte and uniform, contributing to a graphic clarity, while others subtly reveal brushwork or underlying texture, enhancing the material presence of the painted surface. This oscillation between optical purity and painterly tactility gives the work a layered sensibility.

Susan Morrison-Dyke's 35.25" x 23.5" (paper size) Oil on Paper painting uses the device of a window to illustrate the boundary between interior and exterior worlds. The view from the interior or exterior is ambiguous and allows the viewer to interpret their own desired orientation. "Fenway Studio Window personalizes the experience of working in my studio during the longest days of a world pandemic," says Morrison-Dyke. This framed abstract painting features a variety of colors including creams, oranges, blues and lavenders. Susan Morrison-Dyke graduated with a BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University and received the James William Paige Traveling Scholarship, a prestigious 5th Year graduate program award. She was later awarded the Clarissa Bartlett Traveling Fellowship for Alumni at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

Susan was highly visible in Boston’s explosive cutting-edge art scene where she was represented by Stux Gallery in both Boston and New York.

Susan Morrison-Dyke's 'Silhouette', a 35.125" x 23.625" (paper size) oil on paper painting, uses the iconography and artifacts of modern life to blend the styles of Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. The black silhouetted female figure interacts with lines and planes of bright color reminiscent of a street scene.

Navigation by artist Lisa Weiss is a contemporary abstract blue, white, grey, and yellow mixed media on panel that measures 30 x 20 and is priced at $1,500.

Her works are for beauty and contemplation. A professional artist from Tennessee, Lisa Weiss received her BFA in painting and sculpture from Middle Tennessee State University in 1990. She received a teaching assistantship to Louisiana State University in Painting and Drawing and completed her MFA in 1996.

'I'll Be Back,' by XVALA is a mixed media painting and colorful screen print with iridescent oil stick painting featuring the theme of the 'New World Order.' It was produced in 2015/16. The phrase 'I'll Be Back' is printed on the top and bottom margins of the work with the words 'New World Order' on the top margin. Three heads are stacked in the center of the canvas with the 'all seeing eye' on the top of the head. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His 'Fear Google' campaign exposed the decay of privacy and 'No Delete' used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the New World Order collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm...
