About the Item

Mixed media abstract expressionist work on board, presented in a gilt wood frame. Artist unknown. Acrylic paint in blue, white and black has been thickly applied to a weave of organic material to create this jewel of a painting. The texture of the weave, at times coming through the paint, plus added ridges in string create the energy in this painting. The colours are fresh and pop out against the gold of the frame. Further interest has been achieved by using at times flat colour fields in contrast with areas of paint mixed with sand and then incised. The energetic and frenzied effect of the painting is reminiscent of Jackson Pollock's work, a famous American abstract expressionist who was known for his extremely involved drip paintings. Abstract expressionism is a post–World War II art movement in American painting, developed in New York City in the 1940s. It was the first specifically American movement to achieve international influence and put New York at the centre of the Western art world, a role formerly filled by Paris. The movement's name is derived from the combination of the emotional intensity and self-denial of the German Expressionists with the anti-figurative aesthetic of the European abstract schools such as Futurism, the Bauhaus, and Synthetic Cubism. Additionally, it has an image of being rebellious, anarchic, highly idiosyncratic and, some feel, nihilistic.

Contemporary mixed media, acrylic and tissue paper on canvas by French artist, Georges Fernandes. Monogram signed to the bottom right and signed and dated 2000 to the reverse. Presented in plain wood frame with gold filet. A bold and colourful abstract in blue and gold. Tendrils of blue radiate from a central sphere and work their way across the rich gold textured background. The colour combination gives a richness to the painting, the gold background emphasising the blue of the tendrils. This collage fits perfectly into the abstract genre with its focus on its formal qualities over and above its subject matter. Furthermore the artist experiments with vivid yet arbitrary colours, reconstructing shapes and rejecting three dimensional perspective. A fine example of non objective art...
