Rebecca George (b.1972) - American School 2020 Oil Intense Feeling

Description

*Intense Feeling* is an expressive abstract painting by American artist Rebecca George (b.1972). The title aptly describes the emotional energy of the work. Deep tones of green and purple dominate the composition, applied with forceful, gestural brushwork that speaks to a sense of urgency and constraint. The strokes are layered, looping, and often retrace themselves in dense, swirling formations, suggesting a powerful, contained tension, as if the colours want to burst from the confines of the page. Well presented in a wooden frame. Signed to the lower right. On paper.

Condition

Overall the condition is good. Slight dirtying to the paper. Wear around the deckled edges. Minor marks to the frame.

Artist Biography

Rebecca George (b. 1972) is an American contemporary abstract artist. Early in her career, her work centred on narrative figuration, but since 2015 her focus has shifted toward abstraction. This transition has been deeply influenced by the solitude of her repurposed barn studio nestled in the Michigan woods. There, her work adopted a more pared-down aesthetic, emphasising restraint in both colour and composition. “I find my interest in this flat, two-dimensional space has shrunk down to bare bones: saturation, just a couple of relationships between shapes or colours, room for space.” George earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is also the founder of The Art House Gallery in Chicago, which she established in 2011.
