Vintage Mixed Media Abstract Painting on Paper

$850.00

Executed in mixed media, an abstract painting on paper, the surface carries both softness and abrasion.

Layered fields of umber, rust, and muted green are built through overlapping planes, interrupted by sharp linear incisions of white and chalked graphite. The composition resists a single focal point, instead unfolding laterally—like a fragmented map or an interior remembered in pieces rather than seen whole.

Forms appear and dissolve within the surface: block-like structures suggest walls or thresholds, while angled strokes introduce a sense of movement, as if the image is being constructed and dismantled at once. Areas of dense pigment are counterbalanced by scraped, open passages where the paper breathes through, allowing light to sit within the darker ground.

Signed by the artist, the work is presented within a dark frame that accentuates the depth of the composition.
