Elizabeth Gourlay is an American abstract artist whose work emerges from a progressive process of layering colour, lines and forms, informed both by inner emotional states and her observation of nature and architecture. She lives and works in Chester (CT). Gourlay’s work is featured in various private and corporate collections including The Lewitt Collection, The Marriott Family and Yale University. She is the recipient of several grants and fellowships, including two Individual Artist State Grants from the DECD/Connecticut Office of the Arts. In 2011 she was an invited artist in residence at the studio of Sol LeWitt, Spoleto, Italy. Elizabeth Gourlay uses a wide range of media such as oil, flashe, acrylic, ink and graphite to create artfully simple and strong compositions. Gourlay thinks of her work as a meditation on colour and form, a gradual yet progressive study leading to a complex vocabulary of shapes, colour and line. "The shapes and lines create my own vocabulary of abstract forms." Musical composition, emotional states and our collective subconscious resonate within bars, lines and blocks of colour. The abstract forms emerge, layer and shift in precisely ordered, carefully composed rhythms. The artist contemplates the elements that make colour in reduced forms come to life: size, flatness, relation to its edges, and how the presence of other colors affect how it is perceived. Gourlay draws inspiration from shapes found in everyday life and in her studio. The observed shapes either remain as they are or become simplified to their essential geometric elements. Subtleties in colour, area, edge or orientation are the catalyst for emotive responses. A broad range of colours are explored and then reduced an essential and sometimes interactive palette. Gourlay investigates colour properties: complementary or analogous, value, saturation and colour harmony vs. colour anomaly. Gourlay cites past masters from Anni Albers, to Agnes Martin to Ellsworth Kelly as important influences. Her work is similarly focused on reducing artistic elements to their essential forms. The results are strong and distinctly emotive pieces that breathe and vibrate and remain open for the viewer to discover feeling and interpret meaning.

In this new series, Sense World, the artist has experimented with various colour combinations and techniques to convey her emotions and thoughts. This series explores the artist’s journey of connecting senses with language and colour through physical painting. To this end, the artist intended to allow the chance to change the essence of colour by adjusting the brightness and saturation of colours made with adjectives using water. The resulting artworks offer a unique and subjective perspective on the human experience.

Canvas size: 150 x 150 x 2 cm / 59 x 59 x 0.7 inch Andreas Durrer is a Swiss abstract painter. His work is characterised by a deep understanding of colour and form. He lives and works in Switzerland. Andreas Durrer primarily uses canvas as the medium for his work, with acrylic as his main colour material. His powerful colour mixtures are almost musical, inviting viewers to appreciate them for their own sake. The drastic simplification of forms and the use of unnatural colours deviate from realistic perceptions, inviting viewers to experience them beyond the confines of external visual references.

Bright although eroded colours with raw cement show that colours can get old but still bright and moving. The bright colors that Auville sometimes incorporates into his works are generally achieved with water-based spray paint applied during the drying process or eroded spray painting.

Using the geometric vocabulary found in architectural schemata, Bolt tries to create a dynamic tension between foreground and background, center and edge, inside and out. The dual spatial identities that the myriad forms have with one another create a visual riddle. His goal as a painter is not to solve the riddle as much as pose it as a unique perceptual challenge. And it is that challenge that fulfills the experience one has with the painting. Macyn Bolt is an American abstract painter. Using a visual language informed by geometric abstraction, he creates artworks that examine how color and form create shifts in visual perception. He lives and works in Brooklyn, NY, and upstate Pennsylvania. Bolt works with acrylic paint on a variety of surfaces including canvas, wood panel, vinyl and paper. Using scrapers and palette knives, he builds up layers of paint, creating surfaces that seem both polished and hand made. He often strives to achieve heightened areas of contrast, exploring relationships between the painterly and the flat, the loose and the opaque. That contrast is further explored in relationships between colors. His process mirrors the balance he seeks between boldness and delicacy in his compositions. Scale is also an important aspect of his work. His smaller works, which start around 16 x 15 inches, create opportunities for intimate viewer interactions. His larger works, which can range up to 84 x 180 inches, encompass viewers in a contemplative aesthetic space. The differences in size result in a range of perceptual experiences that is integral to the work.

Free worldwide delivery. Edition of 30. Clément's work fluctuates between painting and sculpture, a back and forth that both results from, and contributes to, an ongoing exchange of ideas. The medium of painting offers Clément an arena in which gestural freedom, physicality, experimentation and immediacy can lead to the development of curved, graphic expressions of color and line, which may then be simplified and extended further into space as sculptural forms. Image's size: 79 x 59 cm/31.1 x 23.2 inches.

His work explores the amalgamation of spontaneity, materiality, and emotion through a visual display of color and dynamic gestures. His work typically features painterly strokes alongside jagged contours and geometric forms—sometimes overlaid with written text. The artist embraces accidents and takes advantage of unexpected marks or traces to create an unrehearsed balance between shapes and colors. Dervillez considers all of his canvases connected, each painting a fragment bearing the continuity of the previous. Dervillez is driven by rhythm, energy and improvisation. The artist paints on several canvases simultaneously, until each one achieves its individual sense of realization and harmony. A major theme in his oeuvre is the passage of time; there is no intended narrative content, each painting is rather the visual result of compiled moments of action and observation."

Tenesh Webber’s work occupies a space between drawing, sculpture and photography in process, linear quality and composition. She creates photograms (camera-less, photographic prints), by making sculptural objects out of layers of woven paper, thread, and found objects, in the studio. These sculptural objects are then printed in a black and white darkroom, where she employs experimental photography techniques such as movement during the exposure time, and solarization, to create series of unique images. The small editions of digital prints, based on the unique images, allow Webber to create monumentally-scaled works, using her photogram imagery as a starting point.

This gouache paint with collage on Japanese paper is a result of working with the accidental arrangements of found colored papers that are in piles all over Feinberg's studio. She uses “found” papers as part of her oil painting process on larger pieces. These piles of found papers around the studio have become the means of making work on paper by using them as her starting point.

This new artwork series, "Quiet Stars," is a commentary on the modern world's reliance on technology and its impact on human connection. The paintings aim to reconnect viewers with their authentic selves through abstract symbolism and a minimalist approach. By focusing on the present moment and letting go of distractions, viewers can find a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment.

Adrienn Krahl’s paintings express a profound sense of drama and emotional weight. Krahl works in a range of mediums, including acrylics, charcoal and ink, blending painterly spontaneity with an architectural approach to structure. The mastery with which she allows each medium to express its unique properties creates the impression of different psychological forces at work within the composition. Though her compositions are completely abstract, the complex, angst- filled tangles of lines, color fields and forms suggest a story is being told. Careful attention to detail yields to an embrace of chaos as different mediums advance and recede, paint casually drips across the surface, and asymmetry gives way to balance. Born in Budapest, Hungary, Krahl studied Art and Design History in London, and currently lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan.
