Oil on Canvas
48 x 48″

A master of abstract expressionism, Florencio B. Concepcion allures his audience with a soothing spectrum of colors painted in abstraction instead of revealing a poetic portrayal of an object. Constellation is a 1990 abstract painting by the revered artist that features his signature calm color palette and fine-tuned brushwork. The colored oils are brushed smoothly over the canvas in a horizontal motion, blending seamlessly and freely with one another, a result of Concepcion’s transition from impressionistic landscapes to abstract expressionist works, which began in the middle of the ’50s.
