Abstract Expressionist Painting by Bert Seabourn

This is an original abstract mixed-media painting on canvas, signed 'Seabourn' in the upper right corner, attributed to the renowned American artist Bert Seabourn (b. 1931). The piece features a predominantly monochromatic blue palette, ranging from deep indigos to bright cerulean, with vertical gestural strokes that create a sense of movement and depth. At the lower center, a heavy impasto technique is utilized with black, dark blue, and small accents of orange and white, creating a gritty, textured focal point reminiscent of organic or avian forms. The canvas appears to be mid-to-large scale, housed in a thin, black modern wood frame that shows minor surface scuffing but remains structurally sound. The painting reflects a mid-late 20th-century Abstract Expressionist or Mid-Century Modern style, shifting away from the artist's more common figural Native American themes toward pure abstraction. The surface shows a mix of matte and slightly glossy finishes dependent on paint thickness, with no visible signs of cracking, flaking, or UV damage. The craftsmanship is high-quality, demonstrating a confident use of palette knives and brushwork to build atmospheric tension.
