After a labor that lasted much too long, I have brought forth my latest child:
Abstract Black & White #3
w/One Warp Field
36″ x 50″ (approx. design size)Appearing for the first time in a more cutting edge aspect ratio, this abstract expressionist acrylic painting was rendered on loose canvas with a design size of 36×50, a widescreen design. The actual canvas size is about 48×60 so depending on whether one chooses stretcher bars or mounting on plywood, you can get quite a bit of size variation out of this design.The painting is mostly black & white with perhaps hints of dark sepia.There are approximately ten layers painted over two weeks to give added depth and lots of interesting things to look at. This particular work utilizes a single warp field, meaning that the canvas had a single distortion applied to its shape during the painting process. It is somewhat difficult to get an accurate photo of a painting this size, but you can get an idea of finer points in the detail image below…
Detail (approx 15%)At this point I have several options for mounting the canvas. I was originally set on using a plywood backing but I may change my mind.
Offers are welcome. SOLD!
The sepia tone provides interesting contrast between the black and white. I for one like the more condensed feel of Pollack, but this is interesting work. I am anxious to see the next entries in this line of paintings, keep it up,…. -Ed
Hi,
I love this one. This one just got to me, I had sort of a strong emotional reaction to it. I just liked it right off the bat.
Thank you,
Chris
Hi,
I thought I left a comment, but I’m not sure…Anyway, I really love the Abstract Black and White #3. I really don’t know much about abstract painting, but this one is very striking to me and I just have this emotional connection to it. Anyway, hopefully this will post, because I just wanted to know how amazing this was to me.
Thank you,
Chris
I really like this black and white abstract. I have never experienced with paintings that have only black and white colors in them.
I guess I should give it a try…
found this online. i am an art consultant for corporate art. can you replicate this and what would you sell if for?
Aria: In action paintings, no two are exactly alike but for the general pattern, yes. It is a shift from broader but softer background (very light) to a more minimalist foreground. And that’s the thing I always loved about this work: It’s airy almost abstract impressionist deep background moving to an almost minimalist high contrast foreground.
It’s one of my favorites.
I sold this painting unstretched for $500.00. That wouldn’t be the usual rate: On stretcher bars, it becomes more expensive for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is shipping but also because it is a more complete work. Paintings like this have been priced around $3,500 in my gallery.
I’m open to suggestions, including doing a related series. It’s easier for me to work on more than one painting at a time. It’s a good time to name your price, I think.
