This is a very unique Large Double-Sided Original Mixed Media Painting on Paper by Listed California Artist, Hendrik Grise (1914-1982). Grise was a prolific artist who was part of many of the major art movements of the mid-20th Century. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the Dallas Museum School of Art before coming to Southern California in the late 1940s, where he consistently exhibited his work. He was friends with several artists from the New York School, including Mark Tobey who was close to Jackson Pollock. The influences of his time are clear in his bright, fluid works.
The primary composition features a vivid expressionist arrangement of biomorphic and figural forms rendered in saturated reds, blues, yellows, pinks, and blacks. Layers of gestural linework, abstract faces, and energetic mark-making create a dynamic and highly imaginative composition that reveals new details with continued viewing.
The reverse is also fully painted, presenting a secondary abstract composition of sweeping blue forms and atmospheric layers of color. Both sides demonstrate Grise's distinctive spontaneous approach and allow the work to be displayed according to the collector's preference.
Signed lower right on the primary side. Executed on paper. It is not dated but looks to have been done around 1970. Sold unframed. Will ship boxed to preserve integrity.
Provenance and Certification: We bought the bulk of Hendrick Grise's estate in 2015 and are beginning to market his works and introduce him more broadly to the public. The majority of the works in our collection have never been offered for sale. We have some of the BEST works by Grise that you will ever find. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
