About the Item

This large-scale abstract painting, executed circa 1970 and signed “Zoragozo”, is a dynamic example of postwar abstract expressionist–influenced painting. The standard board is mounted to a stretcher like support upon which a well considered construction of abstract multiple joined panels, with seams subtly visible beneath the painted surface, contributing to its raw, studio-made character. The composition presents a dense, all-over field of gestural brushwork, scraped passages, and layered color. Whites, ochres, yellows, pinks, greens, blues, oranges, and blacks are worked vigorously across the square format, creating rhythmic movement and visual depth. Beneath the expressive surface, traces of an underlying structure remain visible, suggesting a deliberate compositional framework rather than pure improvisation. Stylistically, the painting reflects the language of late-1960s to early-1970s abstraction, with clear visual affinities to Willem de Kooning’s gestural energy and the material awareness and surface tension associated with Jasper Johns. These references are best understood as influences rather than direct lineage, situating the work within a broader postwar abstract vocabulary. The painting is signed “Zoragozo” in paint along the lower margin, integrated into the surface and original to the work. While biographical information on the artist remains limited and no gallery labels or exhibition history are present, the signature is clear, legible, and consistent with the period and execution of the painting. Offered for its strong visual impact, scale, and authentic vintage character, this work is well suited to contemporary interiors, design-focused collections, or buyers seeking a compelling signed abstract painting from the postwar era.
