Around the corner from our apartment is a contemporary art gallery, Galeria Gentili. We pass it often while strolling in our neighborhood.
A recent exhibition caught our attention. The artist, Bernard Frize, a Frenchman working in Berlin, has an interesting style and technique for painting eye-catching colorful abstract images. Below are a couple of photos of his latest works.
After looking at the paintings, you might guess the technique. The artist employs a very wide bush, about 6 inches wide. Various paint colors are loaded thickly onto the wide brush. Then, the brush is pulled across and down the canvas, creating a textured, multi-colored checkerboard pattern. Many of the paintings are quite large, about 4'x6'.
Greg especially likes abstract art because much is left to the viewer's imagination.
What do you see in the two paintings above?
