New Abstracts Revealed

posted April 30th, 2019 by

This coming Thursday (5/2/19) will feature the first showing of a series of new works. The reception is during the Laguna Beach Art Walk at the Sandstone Gallery, 384 N. Pacific Coast Highway. The show will be up for a month.*

That’s my painting, Safe at Last, in the window. Anne’s work is also featured, as well that of seven other fine artists.

The approach is not entirely new for me; I’ve long been fascinated with paintings that are all about color and design and texture exclusively. Of course I don’t mind confessing that Anne’s printmaking work is an inspiration, and she doesn’t mind either. Her’s are intricate, mine, bold expressions . . . with thick oil paint, palette knife applied, with lots of layering. In many cases the title is subtly etched right into the paint.

Check them out below, and double-click for a larger view.

Faith Beyond Measure, 24×22.

God Feed Them, 24×20.

Always Enough, 29×24.

Let Your Words be Few, 29×24.

Love Flows, 27×25.

Power to Save, 24×20.

Risen, 24×20.

Spirit Wanderer, 27×25.

Walk in the Spirit, 24×20.

Safe at Last, 36×59.

For pricing, these pieces are all on my website under “Paintings/Abstract.”

In addition to the new series, more of my paintings are also featured in the show, like these abstract figuratives.

* Due to an earlier-scheduled surgery on my eye the same day as the opening (after the fixed detached retina last year) I will not personally be present.  Anne, however, will be there, hosting, along with her own wonderful work.

    “Let Your Words be Few” is my favorite, but all fascinating. It’s like less-is-more when I’m viewing abstracts. Wonderful collection. How is it that, with so little definition and detail, a painting can say so much? You’ve nailed it, Hyatt.

    As always, I love the paintings…but this time I resonated with your detached retina, as I have also experienced this. I will pray that all is well. Mine was five years ago and I am still dealing with the repercussions. God bless you.
