Abstract Pastel on Paper by Phillip Jaeger

This is an original abstract pastel artwork by artist Phillip Jaeger, executed on paper and currently unframed. The overall dimensions provided are 22x30 inches. The artwork features a composition dominated by geometric forms and a serene color palette centered around blues, teals, and muted greys, with subtle hints of purple and dark red within the deeper blue sections. The style is distinctly abstract, utilizing sharp lines, rectangular blocks, and curved elements to create a sense of depth and architectural-like structure. The pastel medium is evident in the soft, textured appearance of the colors, with visible pigment streaks and layering, suggesting a rich surface quality. There are areas where the colors blend softly, particularly in the grey and lighter blue sections, while other areas, especially the deep teal and royal blue, show more saturated and distinct blocks of color. The artwork is presented within a lighter, possibly white or off-white, paper border, indicating it is not yet framed but prepared for matting. A signature, presumably 'Jaeger,' is visible in the lower left corner, along with what appears to be a small amount of text or a number, likely part of the artist's inscription or edition details if it were a print, though the 'original pastel' context given suggests it is a unique piece. The edges of the paper appear clean, and there are no immediately discernible condition issues such as tears, creases, or major discoloration. The overall presentation suggests a contemporary or modern aesthetic, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century or early 21st century given the style. The craftsmanship is evident in the deliberate placement of color and form, typical of an experienced artist working with pastels. The texture and luminosity achieved through the pastel application contribute to its artistic merit.
