Black and Tan

2020

About the Item

Artist Len Klikunas paints to modify experienced reality through visual perception. Klikunas focuses on the larger idea behind his original abstract minimalist artworks. The work is characterized by “mindful artlessness” and simplicity. Understated and subtle, the work doesn’t only refer to itself, and it doesn’t explain everything. The natural-like radiation that comes from the structure of the materials and color schemes expresses calmness. The meditative process of the work is achieved through the transformation and subtle layering of geometric and organic shapes. This black and tan artwork measures 12 inches high by 48 inches wide. The sides of this artwork are finished by the artist as a continuation of the front, and it does not require framing. The artwork is double-wired, which allows it to hang vertically or horizontally. The artist signs and titles the artwork on the back. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included. Born in 1944 in Chicago, Illinois, Len Klikunas is a visionary artist who mesmerizes the art world with his minimalist paintings, blurring the line between art and architecture. Each stroke and layer unveils a tranquil equilibrium, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of shapes, colors, and textures. The understated and simplistic nature of his work evokes a sense of calmness, emanating a natural-like radiance through the use of carefully selected materials and color schemes. Len Klikunas' works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles. They have been exhibited and collected throughout the world.

  • Forces of Nature 1 - Textural Abstract Minimalist Artwork on Canvas
    By Len Klikunas
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Len Klikunas paints minimalist artworks to modify experienced reality through visual perception. The Blocks series is a mix of art and architecture, hovering between painting and sculpture. It employs shizen (自然): the Japanese concept of naturalness; absence of pretense or artificiality. Material is stretched over a supporting three-dimensional framework, like a tent, and coated with paint. The work is characterized by “mindful artlessness” and simplicity. Understated and subtle, the work doesn’t only refer to itself, and it doesn’t explain everything. This 8 inch square post-minimalist artwork is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front. The artist signs the artwork on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles shipping. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique painting. Len Klikunas' sculptural works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles as well as Kelly Wearstler Interior Design. They have been exhibited and collected throughout the USA.
