About the Item

This contemporary abstract mixed media composition consists of geometric and expressive shapes in teal and black. The eclectic, wholly original work of Lucy Maki has been exhibited internationally. The New Mexico artist has been influenced by modernist abstraction, cubism, and even surrealism. For decades she has explored a distinctive visual language that incorporates mixed media, geometric shapes and architectural elements. Maki has created a body of work devoted to the concept of shaped canvases—a technique that first became a prominent form in the 1960s. This piece is composed of oil paint on a wooden form and canvas. A central lyrical image rendered in teal paint, thickly applied, dominates and overlaps several panels. Each of the four panels works in harmony with one another—three have black backdrops that feature fine grid patterns and dots. A fourth panel pops from the work as black calligraphic markings appear on a white background. A partial lime green border adds a punch of colour to the mono coloured frame. “Over the years, a vocabulary of form resulting from a synthesis of styles from twentieth-century modernism and use of materials common to that tradition — paint on canvas, wood, metal, collage- has come to uniquely characterize the work. The one facet or theme that remains constant is that each piece exists as a singular presence, an image object with a distinct “personality” or mood.” Lucy Maki “Lucy Maki’s paintings can present themselves like off-kilter hallways or streets in the glance of someone in a hurry to arrive somewhere else. And so it’s magical when the goal disappears from an attentive viewer’s experience as they traverse the space in and around her paintings.” Lyndsay Knecht, Writer, producer Lucy Maki received her MA and MFA from the University of New Mexico, finishing in 1982. Maki’s artwork has been exhibited internationally--in the US, Mexico and Canada. It can be found in collections at the Albuquerque Museum and the Museum of New Mexico.

Beneath the Surface - contemporary, abstract, three dimensional, wall art

By Lucy Maki

Located in Bloomfield, ON

This contemporary abstract mixed media composition is geometric in form. The bold, unique and complex artwork of Lucy Maki challenges the traditional approach to painting. The New Mexico artist has been influenced by modernist abstraction, cubism, and even surrealism. For decades she has explored a distinctive visual language that incorporates mixed media, geometric shapes and architectural elements. Her shaped canvases like Beneath the Surface are an eclectic mix of oil paint and wood framing on canvas—they are both paintings and sculptures. Within the frame of this work, lyrical gestural brushstrokes in green and a creamy white play against a teal backdrop. Thick black patterns framed in geometric shapes add structure. The wood frame of this piece extends beyond the artwork itself extending the picture plane--a signature of Maki’s work. “I am fascinated with the New Mexico’s 1930s...
