The second work in this compelling contemporary abstract pair by Pacific Northwest artist Francisco Peña. Executed in deep, atmospheric oil on canvas, this piece represents a sophisticated continuation of the artist’s dialogue with memory, layering, and transformation. Similar to its companion (see our listing for "Abstract in Gilded Frame, 1 of 2"), this work is built upon a reclaimed vintage painting. The foundation provides a complex, hidden structure, with intentional, ghost-like traces of the original form subtly persisting beneath the heavy impasto application. The palette for this second piece shifts towards deep volcanic grays, slate, and rich charcoal, punctuated by bone-white highlights. This composition emphasizes the "push and pull" of raw emotion and architectural order, with gestural, tactile marks that define Peña’s neurodiverse perspective. Housed in a substantial 1.5" deep vintage ornate gilded frame with a linen liner, it offers a powerful statement profile. Style: Contemporary Abstract Expressionist, Brutalist, Transitional. Medium: Original Oil on Canvas. Dimensions: 12"W × 13.75"H × 1.5"D.
