Abstract Expressionist Cityscape Painting by A. Torres

This is an acrylic canvas abstract painting, measuring 18 inches by 24 inches, presented within a distinct pink-colored wooden frame. The artwork is characterized by its vibrant color palette, predominantly featuring various shades of yellow and chartreuse applied in a dense, multi-directional scribbled or hatched technique. This intricate yellow overlay creates a complex textural surface, reminiscent of an illuminated urban sprawl or a circuit board, where lines intersect and overlap. Beneath this energetic yellow, an underlying layer of rich blue, resembling the sky or water, peeks through, particularly in the upper and lower portions of the canvas. The lower section of the painting features a more pronounced blue area, shaped like a stylized city skyline or a series of building silhouettes, grounding the abstract yellow mass. Some darker, perhaps gray or black, tones are subtly integrated within the yellow network, adding depth and shadow. The painting exhibits a visible impasto technique in areas, suggesting the paint was applied thickly, contributing to its tactile quality. The craftsmanship demonstrates a bold and expressive application of paint, typical of the Abstract Expressionist style. A signature, 'A. TORRES', is clearly visible in the lower right corner, along with the date '7-24-20', indicating its creation in 2020. The painting appears to be in excellent condition with no visible signs of damage, wear, or repairs. The frame, with its bright pink hue, provides a contemporary and striking contrast to the artwork, enhancing its visual impact and suggesting a modern aesthetic. The canvas appears taut, and the paint colors remain vivid and unfaded.
