Mid-Century Modern Geometric Abstract Painting Signed 'Ruiz'

This is a large-scale, horizontal abstract oil or acrylic painting on canvas, characterized by a mid-century modern aesthetic. The composition features a complex arrangement of geometric shapes, including squares, rectangles, and circular motifs, juxtaposed against a background of vertical color gradients ranging from deep navy blue to vibrant forest green and teal. A prominent golden-ochre square on the left provides a bright focal point, while smaller sections of textured orange and red impasto add depth and a tactile quality. The artwork utilizes various techniques, including smooth transitions, spray-like soft edges around dark shadowy forms, and heavy palette knife texture in specific sections of the center-right. The piece is signed 'Ruiz' in the lower right corner, a name often associated with commercial or decorative studio art from the late 1960s to mid-1970s. It is housed in a simple, thin silver-toned metal gallery frame. The condition appears to be good with consistent surface patina, though some minor surface grime and very light edge wear on the frame are visible. The craftsmanship demonstrates a skilled hand in balancing form and color, typical of high-quality interior decor art of the 20th century.
