Paul Katz
Interlock #43 (Graphic, Abstract Red, Grey, White & Black Painting on Canvas)

2016

About the Item

8 x 8 inches oil paint and sand on canvas This contemporary, abstract oil painting in graphic black, white, grey & red was completed by Vermont based artist, Paul Katz, in 2016. Studying line shape, and color, the artist contrasts & interlocks graphic patterns of vivid red, black, grey and white. Irregular puzzle-like shapes are outlined in black ink. Sand is mixed in with the oil paint to add an impasto, textured effect which also creates a sturdy, stiff surface. This painting completed on canvas is unframed with clean, painted sides for a sleek presentation. The artist's signature is located on the back along with the date & title. About the artist & work: Abstract painter, Paul Katz, reinterprets his signature canvases of interwoven black & white text into bold gridlocked patterns of gray scale tones and accents of vivid red. Working in a square format, Katz designs his compositions like abstract puzzles, molding misshapen forms together with pristine lines and graphic color. Paint is applied in determined strokes with a mixture of sand for a textured impasto effect. Not only is Katz a painter but he also has worked as a staff photographer for the Guggenheim Museum, an art lecturer, gallerist, and curatorial consultant. The artist, who now lives in rural Vermont, grew up in Manhattan and received his graduate degree in Art History from Hunter College.

  • Doorway (Contemporary Gestural Vertical Abstract Painting in Pastel Palette)
    By Christopher Engel
    Located in Hudson, NY
    30.5 x 24.5 inches oil on stretched canvas Wired to hang as a vertical painting This medium size abstract vertical palette has a serene palette of sage green, creamy white and pale peach. Gestural strokes of subdued colors are woven together with a watery sensibility, one flowing into the next, the paint allowed to drip down the surface of the canvas. About the artist: Calm and confident brush strokes sweep over each painting by Christopher Engel. His work vibrates with the energy of bold, gestural lines that intersect at points between the foreground and background. These fields are bridged together in a web of kinetic, interconnecting lines which create a remarkable reach into the third dimension. The close examination of space, or how we create it and replenish a void, is a study that Engel has pursued since he started as a landscape painter in the early 70s. “I was deeply affected by the relationship between the elements of the landscape; trees, shrubs, bushes, and elements on the periphery,” he states, “everything worked to define the space that contained and moved me.” Engel currently works out of a studio near Roxbury, NY, where a pellet stove...

  • Bowl with Blue Fruit (Colorful Abstract Still Life Oil Painting)
    By Christopher Engel
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Graphic, abstract fruit still life painting in a bold palette of green, orange, and blue Oil on canvas 54 x 44 inches This vertical, abstract-style still life painting was created by Hudson Valley-based artist Christopher Engel in 2010. The composition features broad, confident brush strokes in crimson, royal blue, black, emerald and orange against a varied light and dark green background. Some strokes are bold and crisp, while others appear drizzled on the canvas, resulting in a varied, almost tactile surface texture. About the artist and work: Calm and confident brush strokes sweep over each canvas in a selection of abstract paintings by Christopher Engel. His work vibrates with the energy of bold, gestural lines that intersect at points between the foreground and background. These fields are bridged together in a web of kinetic, interconnecting lines which create a remarkable sense of three dimensionality. The close examination of space, or how we create it and replenish a void, is a study that Engel has pursued since he started as a landscape painter in the early 70s. “I was deeply affected by the relationship between the elements of the landscape; trees, shrubs, bushes, and elements on the periphery,” he states, “everything worked to define the space that contained and moved me.” Engel currently works out of a studio near Roxbury, NY, where a pellet stove warms the high ceilings and sunlight penetrates through sky-lights. Nestled in the Catskill mountains, he continues to honor the influence of the natural landscape and remain enamored by the impact of color. With several canvases standing over four feet tall, the surfaces are rich in a sophisticated palette of earth tones; greens, browns, blacks, blues and occasional use of bright red and orange allude to an aesthetic that straddles both landscape and abstraction. Yet despite representational titles such as “Canyon,” Ice Storm”, and “Clear Skies”, Engel’s vision immerses the viewer in suggestions of horizon lines or tree branches rather than orient them directly toward a conventional depiction. Tensions of push and pull are achieved with both opacity and transparency, as well as the natural flow of the medium. Ultimately, the point of departure is radically transformed and the end result is nothing short of powerful.

  • Hard Rain (Contemporary, Abstract Painting in Orange and Umber Palette)
    By Christopher Engel
    Located in Hudson, NY
    oil on canvas on unique artist made stretcher 36 x 74 inches This curved canvas was painted by abstract artist Christopher Engel in 2006. The abstract expressionist style painting contains dramatic splashes of dark umber against a vivid orange and yellow background. A sturdy wire spanning the back of the painting provides for instant, professional-quality hanging. Christopher Engel is represented by Carrie Haddad Gallery based in Hudson, NY. Artist Statement: The Fan Shaped Paintings evolved from the process of mixing paint in paper coffee cups. As I noticed the intriguing arrangement and patterns of color and shapes in the mixing cups I began to set the cups aside to save those images. Years later, I began unfolding the stacks of cups I had saved to see the images and patterns of color. I was also attracted to the fan-like shape of the opened cups. The spontaneous nature of the color and shapes on my palette of “coffee cups” became the genesis of the creation of the Fan Paintings.
