In combinations of acrylic on canvas, mixed media, and collage, she studies line, color, texture, and the qualities of adding depth to an artwork.

This 34 inch high by 10 inch wide artwork in shades of red is composed of oil paint and mixed media on canvas. The sides are painted black and it does not require framing. It is wired and ready to hang. The artist signed this abstract figurative painting on the front in the lower left corner. Convenient local Los Angeles area shipping. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are also available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Edith Konrad has studied in numerous master classes with artists from Germany and Italy. She paints in a variety of techniques and particularly prefers the use acrylic or oil on canvas, collage and mixed media. In some works traditional mark-marking and Color Field painting techniques are evident, while in others Konrad references the visceral immediacy of cave painting and painting on stone. Her scenes are frequently so obscured by the successive layers of paint that they approach the condition of pure color, light, and shade.

In 2007 her art was acquired by the State Museum Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. She won the 2009 Palm Art Award, a Certificate of Excellence for outstanding artistic quality and originality of the work. In 2010 she exhibited at the Salon de la Culture at the Louvre in Paris, France. Her artworks have been exhibited internationally, including many art fairs such as Montreux, Geneva, Salzburg, Rotterdam, Marbella, Porto Ceresio, Los Angeles, Toronto and Paris. less
