Untitled Abstract (2015) Oil on Canvas 24 × 30 in

Description

This untitled abstract oil painting was created in 2015 and executed with a heavy, gestural hand that prioritizes material presence over narrative. Built through layered applications of oil paint, the surface shows repeated cycles of application, removal, and reassertion, leaving behind a dense, worked texture that records the artist’s process rather than concealing it.

The composition is loosely structured across horizontal bands, with saturated reds, oranges, and yellows concentrated through the center of the canvas. These warmer passages are interrupted by darker, smoky overlays and anchored by cooler green and olive tones toward the lower half. The result is a controlled tension between heat and restraint, movement and weight. The painting resists a single focal point, instead encouraging slow visual movement across the surface as light interacts with the raised paint.

Edges are fully painted, suggesting the work was intended to be displayed unframed or with a simple float frame. The surface changes noticeably with viewing angle, reinforcing its physicality and making it best experienced in person.
