Joseph Maruska's abstract paintings read like classical music compositions. His undulating lines move and ripple across the painting surface and allow the viewer to interpret and perceive the works with an endless array of imagination and visual interpretation.
In this work, Maruska's strong forms and graceful landscapes take shape in an earthen palette of creamy white's, velvety browns and oceanic blues that translate into cascading, flowing bodies of water or a fragment of atmospheric sky.
His unique style of abstraction begins by covering panels with a thick emulsion of modeling paste giving the effect of a subtle, three-dimensional profile. He then comes back into the surface laying down rich color over the masses and shapes, using the shadows and protrusions as guidelines in which to lay the paint on to the surface.
Painting is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and on back.
