Untitled Off-White 2 - Textural Abstract Minimalist Artwork on Canvas
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Painting for Togolese artist Olympio is fearlessly following an instinct. Olympio’s work is honest and palpable: exposed, raw, and direct. His work is an unfiltered manifestation of his soul. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures balanced by the peaceful compositions emanating from below the surface. This 24-inch high by 24-inch wide mixed media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. The many layers in his work further emphasize the texture and visceral nature of his canvases. The painting is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping available. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by the gallery is included with this unique artwork. Olympio was born into a large family of eight children in Lomé, Togo, West Africa. He began his creating art by using building scraps to make sculptures. By the time he was in high school, he started to experiment with mixed-media and collage. He has later transitioned to acrylic and oil on canvas. In 2001, Olympio left his home in Africa to live in Paris. Olympio moved to the United States in 2003 and has continued to paint. His work has been exhibited at Art Basel Miami, where in 2018 he was ranked one of the Top 10 Artists by Red Dot Miami. He was also recently interviewed for France 2, TV5Monde, and the BBC. His work has been exhibited and collected internationally.

"Summer Shadows" Antique American Impressionist Landscape Framed Oil Painting
Located in Buffalo, NY
Impressive early American impressionist woodland forest scene oil painting by Orr Cleveland Fisher (1885 - 1974). Housed in a Newcomb Macklin frame. Oil on board. Signed. Image size, 18H by 14L. Artist Bio: American astronaut Peggy Whitson was born in south central Iowa, in Ringgold County, and attended high school in Mount Ayr, the county seat. She is that region’s claim to fame, although it should also be noted that the parents of Jackson Pollock, the Abstract Expressionist artist, also grew up in that county. My favorite feather in the cap of Ringgold County is a Depression-era WPA mural that hangs in the US Post Office in Mount Ayr. Created in 1941 by local artist Orr Cleveland Fisher (1885-1974), it is titled The Corn Parade. I have admired it for years, but, until recently, I had only seen reproductions. I drove down to Mount Ayr a few years ago, walked into the post office, and was delighted to see the mural, first hand in all its glory. It is installed in the lobby, above the postmaster’s office door. I photographed it from a low angle, without a ladder, which of course distorted the overall shape. But I was able to straighten it later and to restore its true proportion, using appropriate software. Older readers may already know about the WPA. It dates from the 1930s, during the Great Depression, when US President Franklin D. Roosevelt created government subsidy programs to stabilize the economy by hiring the unemployed to work on public projects. The acronym WPA stood for the Works Progress Administration, an agency that oversaw the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP), the Federal Theatre Project (FTP). the Federal Writers Project (FWP), and other arts-based programs. In Iowa, the PWAP regional director was Grant Wood. It was he who approved the artists who were commissioned by the government (at a salary of $26.50 to $42.50 per week) to create public murals, mostly for post office lobbies. As many as thirty-five were commissioned for Iowa buildings, including two by Orr Fisher (in Mount Ayr and Forest City).The majority of those in Iowa have survived, although in a few cases they have been relocated to libraries or city halls. Fisher completed his Mount Ayr mural nearly eighty years ago, and Ringgold County is fortunate that it still hangs on the wall it was made for. If you haven’t seen it, you should make the pilgrimage. The Corn Parade is utterly charming and funny. It is a colorful, cartoon daydream of a harvest parade in an Iowa farming community. Its central feature is a float being towed by a tractor. Walking alongside are a trained pig and a marching clown, followed by an unbelievably tall Uncle Sam on stilts. On a wagon on the float is a gigantic ear of corn, too large for any wagon, like those huge Paul Bunyan vegetables on humorous vintage postcards. On top of the corn is a box-like platform for three musicians, who are following the raised baton of an eccentric looking band leader. An ear of corn as massive as this must surely have resulted from a record-breaking corn harvest. Now that is something to crow about, a rooster on the corn proclaims, and a billboard on the right contends that CORN IS KING. When asked about the mural, Fisher replied that some of its characters were based on actual residents of Ringgold County. For example, one of the figures is the Mount Ayr postmaster, above whose door the mural would hang. The mayor of the city is mounted on a horse on the left, and the photographer, tractor driver, and others were also local citizens. The Corn Parade is not an easel painting, but a large wall mural that measures 11 feet wide and 5 feet high. Fisher had twice studied briefly with the French Academy-trained Iowa artist Charles A. Cumming at his Cumming School of Art in Des Moines. Other than that, Fisher was self-taught, or learned through correspondence schools. He recalled that from an early age, he was preoccupied with drawing, an interest that never abated. As he put it, “everywhere I have gone I have drawn. I have drawn almost everything imaginable…except a salary.” He had a life-long interest in illustration, design and cartooning, and he especially admired the drawings of Ding Darling...

Bring audacious experiments with color and textures to your living room, dining room or home office. Abstract paintings, large or small, will stand out in your space, encouraging conversation and introducing a museum-like atmosphere that’s welcoming and conducive to creating memorable gatherings.

Abstract art has origins in 19th-century Europe, but it came into its own as a significant movement during the 20th century. Early practitioners of abstraction included Wassily Kandinsky, although painters were exploring nonfigurative art prior to the influential Russian artist’s efforts, which were inspired by music and religion. Abstract painters endeavored to create works that didn’t focus on the outside world’s conventional subjects, and even when artists depicted realistic subjects, they worked in an abstract mode to do so.

In 1940s-era New York City, a group of painters working in the abstract mode created radical work that looked to European avant-garde artists as well as to the art of ancient cultures, prioritizing improvisation, immediacy and direct personal expression. While they were never formally affiliated with one another, we know them today as Abstract Expressionists.

The male contingent of the Abstract Expressionists, which includes Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Robert Motherwell, is frequently cited in discussing leading figures of this internationally influential postwar art movement. However, the women of Abstract Expressionism, such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and others, were equally involved in the art world of the time. Sexism, family obligations and societal pressures contributed to a long history of their being overlooked, but the female Abstract Expressionists experimented vigorously, developed their own style and produced significant bodies of work.

Draw your guests into abstract oil paintings across different eras and countries of origin. On 1stDibs, you’ll find an expansive range of abstract paintings along with a guide on how to arrange your wonderful new wall art.

If you’re working with a small living space, a colorful, oversize work can create depth in a given room, but there isn’t any need to overwhelm your interior with a sprawling pièce de résistance. Colorful abstractions of any size can pop against a white wall in your living room, but if you’re working with a colored backdrop, you may wish to stick to colors that complement the decor that is already in the space. Alternatively, let your painting make a statement on its own, regardless of its surroundings, or group it, gallery-style, with other works.
