About The Work
This large scale oil painting by Mark Masyga created with a stunning linear abstract composition. Masyga employs drawing techniques in his painting to create bold lines of color, which overlap and intersect. This painting has a controlled depth to the visual surface, while the warm grey background creates an endless atmosphere, in which the lines take on the feel of objects in space. The sometimes coiled, sometimes kinked lines have a structure to them which that is rendered through the artist's intuitive relationship to color and density. Masyga's masterful knowledge and background in color field painting shows a heightened sense and use of color in this painting, which he relates to chance encounters on the canvas. These become edited and directed until a harmony and accord is achieved in the complex structure and layering of lines and boundaries of color.
