Shiroma Appraisal

Kimber Shiroma Abstract Oil Paintings Lot Unframed - 18x14" (Set of Two)

This lot consists of two unframed abstract oil paintings by artist Kimber Shiroma. Each painting measures approximately 18x14 inches, as indicated in the item title. The paintings are characterized by a vibrant and dynamic color palette dominated by shades of blue, orange, and red, with hints of other colors such as green visible in certain areas. The brushwork appears expressive and fluid, forming organic, curvilinear shapes that overlap and intertwine, creating a sense of movement and depth. Both pieces exhibit similar style and coloration, suggesting they are a cohesive set or part of a larger series. Given the abstract nature, there are no discernible realistic figures or objects. The oil medium gives the colors a rich, saturated quality, and the brushstrokes likely provide a tactile texture to the surface, though this cannot be fully assessed from the image. As unframed pieces, the edges of the canvas or painting surface are visible, indicating they are ready for custom framing. No specific damage like tears, punctures, or significant paint loss is evident from the image, but a detailed inspection would be required to confirm overall condition and rule out minor wear or patina. There are no visible artist signatures or maker's marks in the provided image, although they might be present on the reverse side. The style places them squarely within contemporary abstract art, likely from the late 20th or 21st century given the crispness of the colors and general aesthetic. The quality of craftsmanship appears good, with a seemingly deliberate and confident application of paint.
