Bridge- Painting Of A Man Enjoying A Painting By Kenneth Noland

SOLD

This painting shows a man engaging with Kenneth Noland’s monumental 1964 Chevron canvas, Bridge. This composition plays with scale and environment, juxtaposing the bold, vibrant geometry of Color Field abstraction against the quiet, observational realism of the figure.

For me, the title Bridge takes on a literal visual meaning through a hidden detail. Noland used yellow and blue across his piece. If you mix those colors you get green, the color of the shirt of my viewer. His presence acts as a physical and symbolic bridge—linking the human world directly to the canvas on the wall or, in art terms, linking realism to abstract painting.

All the best, Gerard

The woman is enjoying a painting by Barnett Newman, a key American Abstract Expressionist known for large-scale 'Color Field' paintings featuring vertical stripes called 'zips,' designed to create a meditative, spiritual, and sublime experience.

His work emphasizes emotional impact over representation, using pure color to evoke feelings of presence, transcendence, and human existence.

All the best, Gerard

Slow Rise- Woman Enjoying Painting By Kenneth Noland

SOLD

Noland was part of a group of painters that described their paintings as Color Field work, huge paintings of large fields of color. Noland's interest in pure color led him to create controlled, geometric abstract paintings, using stripes, chevrons, and target shapes of colors.

If you stand close to Noland's work like my figure does, the colors seem to extend beyond your peripheral vision, like a lake or an ocean. These mega-size rectangles require letting your mind and eye leap right into the expanse of red, blue or green. Then you can almost feel the sensation of the colors themselves.

All the best, Gerard

SOLD

Nicolas Stael was a Russian born artist (1914-1955) whose work left a vivid imprint on subsequent European art, particularly in the field of non-geometric abstract painting.

For de Stael, figuration and abstraction were never mutually exclusive categories. His aim was neither to represent things directly, nor to bow to the total abstraction. Instead, de Staël's was interested in the suggestion of volume, space, and distinct forms in the barest possible terms, alluding to external stimuli without ever giving in to a wholly figurative process.

In a time when Abstract Expressionism was the rage Alice Neel captured Andy Warhol not too long after his shooting. The middle-aged pop artist’s portrait shows his flaccid torso, as well as Warhol’s surgical scars and the medical corset, both a result of the Valerie Solanas shooting of the artist two years earlier.

White Center (Yellow, Pink and Lavender on Rose) is an abstract painting by Mark Rothko completed in 1950. Rothko believed that the rectangles merely offered a new way of representing the presences or spirits that he tried to capture in those earlier works.

He imagined a kind of direct communion between himself and the viewer, one which might touch the viewer with a higher spirituality. White Center was sold in May 2007 by Sotheby's on behalf of David Rockefeller to the Royal family of Qatar.
