Description

Abstract Figures in Landscape #35 is an original abstract figurative oil painting by Laurie Rubell. It is created across two canvases of different widths.

A Two-Canvas Composition

Although designed to hang together, the canvases can also be separated. Together, they create one unified composition. When separated, however, the surrounding space becomes part of the artwork.

Creating the Painting

This painting took three months to complete. To begin, I applied washes of dark blue to blank, hand-stretched canvases. From there, I gradually built the composition with layers of oil paint.

Because I work without preliminary sketches, the painting can change as I paint. As a result, each canvas responds to the other as the composition develops.

Figures, Color, and Movement

Color, line, and space are central to my process. Above a field of clouds, abstract figures appear to rise and move through the landscape. At the same time, their forms seem to dissolve into the surrounding atmosphere.

Therefore, the painting moves between figurative and abstract imagery. The eye follows sweeping lines, layered color, and open passages across both canvases.

Layers of Oil Paint

Throughout my process, I use more than fifty styles and types of artist brushes. I also use over one hundred tubes of oil paint.

In addition, layers of color and expressive brushstrokes create depth and texture. Up close, the surface reveals the physical energy of the paint. From a distance, however, the separate marks form one unified composition.

One-of-a-Kind Original Art

Finally, Abstract Figures in Landscape #35 is a one-of-a-kind original. I do not create prints, copies, or limited editions of my paintings.
