About
Swiss-born artist Marco Schmidli creates minimalist paintings with a contemporary edge. Placing emphasis on process, he lets the mediums naturally manifest within his artwork. “An important aspect of my artwork is the removal of my own artistic hand. Instead of controlling and demanding the paint move and act a certain way, I let the paint naturally manifest and express its pure form/ true colors/ most natural movement.” Schmidli's work is known for its sensitive surfaces and subtle textures. He has developed specialized techniques for applying and layering color, giving depth to his paintings.
This 40 inch high and 30 inch wide original artwork is an abstract composition in acrylic paint on canvas. It is framed in a custom black wood frame. Schmidli uses acrylic paint to create the deep tonality of his colorful works. It is signed and dated on the back of the canvas. Free local Los Angeles delivery.
