Gestural Abstract Composition with Orange and Blue by Ellis Hopkins (American, b. 1952).
This large scale composition features bold, gestural linework and brushstrokes which interact with blocks of dynamic color. Large swaths of grey, reddish browns, and deep blues make up a large portion of this composition. These more neutral colors are then punctuated by areas of orange, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Throughout the piece there are areas of dripping texture, likely created through the use of a thinning medium, which add more textural interest and movement. Reminiscent of Kandinsky and Hofmann and Emily Sillman, the piece celebrates the interplay of spontaneity and structure within a modernist vocabulary.
Signed E. Hopkins in bottom right corner.
Acquired from a collection of the artist's work.
Canvas size: 37.75" H x 51.75" W
