This dynamic Michael Schofield (American, 1947) abstract oil on canvas is a visually arresting composition, imbued with the energy and spontaneity characteristic of modern abstract expressionism. The canvas is dominated by a swirling cacophony of bold, gestural strokes that crisscross the surface in a chaotic yet deliberate dance of color and form. The base of deep, rich red provides an intense backdrop that amplifies the dramatic interplay of vibrant splashes of white, black, and other colors, creating a striking contrast.
Schofield’s piece speaks to the viewer on a visceral level, offering no clear narrative but rather an invitation to experience the pure, unrestrained emotion expressed through form and color. The complex layering of hues and lines creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, encouraging the eye to explore every inch of the canvas, discovering new connections between the seemingly random, yet highly controlled chaos.
Framed in a sleek black border that contrasts with the vibrancy within, this artwork stands as a bold and unapologetic statement, representative of the artist’s mastery of abstract expression. It is a testament to Schofield’s ability to channel emotion into a visual language that transcends conventional form and invites subjective interpretation.
The painting is signed in the back by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
