"Phase 2 Variation IV" Black and White Abstract Fantasy Etching by Paul A. L.

1959

About the Item

This monochromatic, black-and-white abstract painting plays a constant game between forms and shadows. For the painter, his artworks are a pure contrast between the visible and the invisible. Dark gestural lines decorate the background and contrast against a disappearing white background with subtle details of grey. Organic patterns appear in the black line work, creating an ethereal use of depth and space. The foreground contains multiple uncanny shapes feeding an overall fantasy yet gloomy atmosphere. The title of the artwork is "Phase 2 Variation IV". The signature is ineligible, but it's dated 1959.

"Irak" Oil Painting on Board by Doug Edge
Located in Pasadena, CA

They have created works that evoke feelings of anger, sorrow, hope, and dread which are difficult to express through words alone. Their works raise questions about the existential struggle faced when attempting to make sense of tragedy on a global scale. Since the 1970s, Doug Edge...
