Oil on canvas
70 x 70 inches
Unframed. Ships rolled.
In 1980’s (2026), Studio 198 presents a vivid, gestural composition that captures the energy and immediacy of late 20th-century abstraction. Executed in oil on canvas, the work is defined by sweeping, calligraphic strokes that move freely across the surface, creating a sense of motion that feels both spontaneous and deliberate.
Drawing influence from Willem de Kooning and the expressive language of 1980s painting, the composition balances fluidity with control. Bold red and blue lines weave, collide, and diverge across a soft ground, generating rhythm and tension. Each mark carries the trace of its making—visible, unrestrained, and continuously evolving.
At 70 x 70 inches, the scale is immersive and commanding. The work activates the space around it, drawing the viewer into its layered gestures and shifting visual pathways.
This is a one-off original. There are no editions.
Created for collectors who appreciate confident, large-scale abstraction, 1980’s delivers both impact and nuance—where colour, line, and movement converge into a cohesive visual force.
A work of energy. A work of gesture.
