Abstract Expressionist Painting

This is an abstract painting, likely executed with acrylic or oil paints on a canvas or board substrate. The artwork features a vibrant and dynamic composition dominated by a rich palette of greens, yellows, golds, oranges, and hints of red and dark blue. The application of paint is highly textured, suggesting impasto techniques, with visible brushstrokes and palette knife marks creating a tactile surface. There are areas where the paint appears to have been layered, scraped, and possibly combined with other materials, indicating mixed media or a multi-layered approach. Some sections show a distinct horizontal ridge pattern, possibly from a comb or textured tool, adding to the dimensionality. The overall aesthetic leans towards Abstract Expressionism, characterized by its non-representational forms and emphasis on spontaneous, gestural application. The colors blend and contrast, creating a sense of natural light or an atmospheric quality. The painting exhibits a gloss or semi-gloss finish in various areas, suggesting a sealant or the inherent sheen of the paint itself. The signature, visible in the lower right quadrant, appears to be 'M. Keung' or 'Mau Keung' or a similar variation, written in black script. The edges of the artwork, visible along the bottom and right, suggest it might be framed in a simple dark frame or presented as a gallery-wrapped canvas. The condition appears stable with no immediately discernible damage like cracks or flaking; the texture is intentional. The style suggests it could be from the late 20th or early 21st century.
