New Beginnings
Lot 21:
Description
This contemporary abstract painting is executed in oil or acrylic on a stretched canvas support. The composition is characterized by a dense, all-over arrangement of energetic, gestural brushwork and heavy impasto. The artist utilized a vibrant palette consisting of primary and secondary colors including red, blue, green, yellow, and orange, accented by bold black and white strokes. The application of the medium is thick and textured, creating a high-relief surface that suggests the use of both brushes and palette knives. The work is unframed, with the canvas stapled to the outer edges of the wooden stretcher. The verso reveals a modern wooden stretcher frame with a single central horizontal brace. Significant paint seepage is visible on the reverse of the canvas, consistent with the heavy application of paint on the face. No signature, date, or other identifying marks are present on the front or the reverse of the work.
Dimensions : 24 X 36 X 0.5 in.
Condition report:
