About the Item
Lee Cox (American, born 1941)
"Summer Salad" 2025
Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the bottom right corner of the painting.
“Summer Salad” is a vibrant abstract work that celebrates movement, balance, and the joy of color. Broad, overlapping forms in warm reds, oranges, greens, and muted neutrals interlock across the canvas, creating a rhythmic composition that feels both spontaneous and carefully resolved. Translucent layers of acrylic allow colors to breathe and interact, while visible brushwork and soft edges give the surface a lively, tactile presence.
Cox’s intuitive approach to abstraction is evident in the painting’s sense of harmony and flow. Organic shapes drift and overlap like fragments of memory or landscape, inviting viewers to explore the composition without a fixed point of reference. “Summer Salad” works effortlessly as a focal piece, bringing warmth, movement, and contemporary sophistication to a space.
About the Artist:
Lee Cox is a contemporary abstract painter based in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, known for his evocative, memory-infused work that bridges personal narrative with universal emotion. After a 35-year career in telecommunications, Cox transitioned from lifelong collector to full-time artist, bringing a deep appreciation for abstract expression and color into his studio practice. Cox’s creative process is rooted in spontaneity and reflection: he begins each canvas without a fixed plan, allowing acrylic paint, pencil, and layered mark-making to develop organically. Music guides his hand, stirring recollections that act as catalysts for visual exploration. As layers are built, subtracted, and reworked over time, a specific memory, whether a place, emotion, figure, or fleeting sensation, gradually comes into focus, shaping both composition and mood.
Cox’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and juried group shows throughout California and nationally, and are represented in private collections across the United States.

Cox’s creative process is rooted in spontaneity and reflection: he begins each canvas without a fixed plan, allowing acrylic paint, pencil, and layered mark-making to develop organically. Music guides his hand, stirring recollections that act as catalysts for visual exploration. As layers are built, subtracted, and reworked over time, a specific memory — whether a place, emotion, figure, or fleeting sensation — gradually comes into focus, shaping both composition and mood. The resulting works are colored with depth and movement, blending dynamic abstraction with atmospheric resonance. Cox’s pieces evoke a sense of time and remembrance, inviting viewers to connect with their own associations and experiences through color, form, and gesture. His titles further illuminate the emotional core of each work, offering a touchpoint between the personal and the universal. Cox’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and juried group shows throughout California and nationally, and are represented in private collections across the United States.

"All the Greens" Playful Abstract Dark, Light, Olive Green - Orange, Red, Yellow
By Margo Margolis
Located in Wellesley, MA
This abstraction by NY based artist Margo Margolis has a very sophisticated/playful sensibility with brilliant, intense color (yellow, dark green, olive, orange, red, black and white) which is a significant attribute of the artist's flashe medium, a water based French paint. Consisting of multiple layers of underpainting and glazing, and frequent contrasts between hard and soft edges, these works not only have associations with Henri Matisse's palette and Alexander Calder's sculptural forms, but also share in these artists' complexities after relatively straightforward initial first takes. Fresh and intelligent exploration into the possibilities for abstraction are Margolis's focus, and her paintings achieve that rare quality of making abstraction feel new.
