Pair of Contemporary Diagonally-Oriented Abstract Paintings

This item consists of two individual square-format abstract paintings, executed in a contemporary style and displayed in a diamond (rotated) orientation. The left-hand canvas features a stark black background serves as a base for a chaotic composition of thick impasto strokes in shades of crimson red, cerulean blue, and crisp white. In contrast, the right-hand canvas utilizes a warmer, earthier palette dominated by ochre, mustard yellow, and brown, with accents of light blue and white. This second piece includes more defined, linear, skeleton-like gestural figures that contrast with the purely abstract splashes of its counterpart. Both works are likely acrylic or oil on canvas, utilizing mixed techniques including palette knife application and splatter. There is a visible artist signature in white on the lower right edge of the black canvas. The canvases appear to be gallery-wrapped with painted edges, suggesting they are intended for display without external frames. The condition appears excellent with no visible cracking, fading, or peeling. Based on the style and application, these pieces likely date from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship is expressive and energetic, indicating a professional or highly skilled artist leaning into neo-expressionist influences.
