About the Item
Danny Avidan’s paintings explore the tension between form and formlessness, using it as a way to reflect on the body and the creative process. His expressive gestures continuously attempt to shape solid figures, which emerge and dissolve back into their surroundings. These figures act as a self-portrait—reflecting the artist’s own actions. Like the painter, they are always trying to release something from within in a desperate attempt to become more than they are. They ooze, spit, fragment, and melt, breaking through the skin of paint into backgrounds filled with watery, thick, and scarred whites.
Avidan’s work is driven by action and process. He begins each painting directly on the canvas. The scene takes shape intuitively, guided by the movement of his body and the natural flow of the paint. Like his characters, the paintings themselves seek to be more than they are, and in that pursuit, they must be undone. Each scene is erased and re-created over and over, buried beneath layers of plaster, paint, and pencil lines.
As the work progresses, each painting becomes a burial ground for older images, from which new forms can be reborn. This merging of process and subject matter reflects the struggle to transcend limitations, with Avidan believing that painting can serve as a path toward overcoming finitude.
His work is deeply influenced by his studies in mythology and comparative religion, which he sees as gateways to the collective unconscious. These themes align with Avidan’s view of art as a response to the inability to accept the world as it is and the struggle against the limitations of the mortal condition.
Drawing from art history and myth, he finds stories and compositions that resonate with these ideas and uses them to guide his work. From Cadmus sowing the dragon’s teeth, triggering a cycle of violence and exile, to the Hindu myth of Kshira Sagara, the primordial sea of milk from which the world emerged in an act of cosmic churning, these narratives shape and inform his artistic vision.

Mod Abstract Expressionist Modernist Oil Painting Edward Avedisian Color Figure
By Edward Avedisian
Located in Surfside, FL
Edward Avedisian ( 1936-2007 )
8 X 9
Oil paint on wood plank panel with gold and purple figure
This is not signed on front. It bears his name verso.
Provenance: Hudson, N.Y. estate of noted Art Collector Albert Burnette Roberts (1932-2021)
Edward Avedisian (June 15, 1936, Lowell, Massachusetts – August 17, 2007, Philmont, New York) was an American abstract painter who came into prominence during the 1960s. His work was initially associated with Color field painting and in the late 1960s with Lyrical Abstraction and Abstract Expressionism.
He studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. By the late 1950s he moved to New York City. Between 1958 and 1963 Avedisian had six solo shows in New York. In 1958 he initially showed at the Hansa Gallery, then he had three shows at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery and in 1962 and 1963 at the Robert Elkon Gallery. He continued to show at the Robert Elkon Gallery almost every year until 1975.
During the 1960s his work was broadly visible in the contemporary art world. He joined the dynamic art scene in Greenwich Village, frequenting the Cedar Tavern on Tenth Street, associating with the critic Clement Greenberg, and joining a new generation of abstract artists, such as Darby Bannard, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, and Larry Poons.
Avedisian was among the leading figures to emerge in the New York art world during the 1960s. An artist who mixed the hot colors of Pop Art with the cool, more analytical qualities of Color Field painting, he was instrumental in the exploration of new abstract methods to examine the primacy of optical experience.
One of his paintings was appeared on the cover of Artforum, in 1969, his work was included in the 1965 Op Art The Responsive Eye exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and in four annuals at the Whitney Museum of American Art. His paintings were widely sought after by collectors and acquired by major museums in New York and elsewhere. He has been exhibited in prominent galleries, such as the Anita Shapolsky Gallery and the Berry Campbell...
