A bold and dynamic abstract painting dated 1990, featuring a stylized guitar form rendered in vivid tones of crimson, ochre, teal, and black. Evoking elements of Cubist and modernist still life, the piece plays with geometric blocks of color and heavily worked textures to create a rhythmic, visually charged composition. The medium appears to be oil or oil pastel on heavy paper, with expressive layering and gestural marks throughout. Signed in the lower left (illegible) and dated “2-7-90” in the upper right. Professionally matted and framed behind clear plexiglass in a clean-lined black frame. This work’s saturated palette and flattened forms lend it a striking mid-century feel, while the date and treatment align it with the late 20th century’s return to expressive, postmodern abstraction.
Frame: 33.5” wide, 1.25” deep, and 49.25” high.
