About the Item

This is a vibrant oil painting from Stephen Cimini, a Pollock-Krasner grant recipient. Painting subject to availability and 1stdibs buyer protected purchase and shipping with returns subject to terms. Inquire directly to get complimentary consult of a digital rendition of painting in your space. Drawing from the architectural origins of his past work, this series of abstract oil paintings contemplate geometric spaces and their relationships to each other. Using oil paint, wax medium, and marble dust on canvas, the artist creates a harmonious balance on the canvas, characterized by textured shades of colors, with linear lines and shapes - allowing a symmetrical, meditative composition of shapes and colors to emerge. The artist is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner grant awarded to artists with established abilities, established by the wife of Jackson Pollock. His work is held in various corporate and private collections worldwide. This oil painting is exclusively sold here - oil paint, cold wax medium and marble dust on canvas, is ready to hang, signed on the back by artist. Framing is not required but the painting can be set off in a floating frame, upon inquiry. International buyers – please contact us here directly for shipping questions. The full series of paintings are available here, all are subject to availability. ARTIST STATEMENT Building on the architectural origins which have been the basis of my work for over a decade, I have started referring to my compositions as random symmetry. That is, creating a balance on the canvas with no discernible pattern allowing a symmetrical, meditative composition to emerge. I employ the golden mean as a reference which can often be seen in the composition. I use oil paint with a cold wax medium, layering the paint, as organic surfaces evolve within the restrained lines of the composition. During the process an environment develops giving an emotional story to the thoughtfully planned out compositions. My color choices vary, sometimes deliberately creating a series with particular color decisions and sometimes allowing the color choices to impulsively appear fueled by intuition and experience. Color remains a constantly unfolding mystery.
