About the Item
Please contact me with zip code for speedy delivery and accurate shipping quote. "Mystic Canyon" is a large, original geometric abstract canvas painting by NJ artist and painting professor, Thomas Paul Raggio. It is an abstracted landscape painting whose palette was designed specifically to capture the feel and essence of the air, temperature, humidity, sunlight, and colors of the California landscape. It is signed, titled, and dated on the back. It has substantial stretcher bars with the canvas neatly wrapped around the edges, so it does not require framing. It is wired and ready to hang.
"My work is composed of hard edges and thin lines set against an abstract field or a pictorial space. Each color has a quickness that is relative to the colors surrounding it; this gives my paintings visual movement and dislocates the viewer. Through linear and geometric forms, my paintings explore design and mathematical concepts found broadly throughout culture. They are improvised from a wide range of sources such as my conversations with scholars in various fields of music, architecture, cryptology and engineering, my life experiences and travels.
I contemplate every color, mark, and placement of the line to formulate what I call rhythmic velocities: relationships of color and motion that give life to the composition, creating a heartbeat. I am interested in the duality of math and design: through repetition, a line made of color becomes a rhythmic pattern. This concept is found when composing music, organic landscapes and architectural structures. By referencing these sources, my abstractions transcend their formal components, reaching beyond a minimalist canon." - Thomas Paul Raggio
