This contemporary abstract statement painting by Teodora Guererra is made with acrylic and oil paint on canvas. It features a coastal palette, with layers of paint applied in wide, sweeping gestures, layering varying shades of blue over one another. The painting is signed by the artist on the back of the canvas, and is wired and ready to hang. Teodora Guererra’s abstract artistic vision has evolved throughout her years spent painting and teaching in Fairfield County, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona, and upstate New York. Arizona’s naturally radiant landscape and arid climate led her to experiment with rich under-painting and vivid color; while the shifting seasons of the East Coast inspired Guererra to pursue dripping and staining techniques. Her focus has always been pushing the limits through experimentation with new materials. “As an artist, painting can be tormenting and sublime at the same time," the artist says of her work. "I'm a big risk taker, experimenting with different materials to layer, stain and saturate color on large canvases. My most successful work looks as if it happened all at once. It sometimes takes 7 or more paintings to produce a successful one and then it's a beautiful thing." Guererra received her undergraduate and graduate Art degrees from Southern Connecticut University, The College of Saint Rose and Skidmore College. Guererra’s paintings can be found in public and private collections across the U.S., including the Allmen Health and Wellness Center for Women in New York and SUNY Brockport, NY, William & Sonoma, San Francisco, CA. Her influences are Pat Steir, John McCracken, Helen Frankenthaler, Donald Jud, Bernar Venet, Agnes Martin and Brian Rutenberg...

This captivating mid-20th-century abstract seascape by acclaimed Denver Modernist Richard Sorby (1911–2001) exemplifies his innovative approach to texture, form, and color. Created with a dynamic blend of oil paint, mica, and sand on board, the composition radiates movement through layered blue, yellow, and white tones, evoking the interplay of light and water. The result is a richly tactile and luminous surface—hallmarks of Sorby’s celebrated modernist style. The work is presented in a custom archival frame (13 ½ x 13 ½ x 1 ½ inches; image: 4 ¾ x 4 ¾ x ¼ inches), ensuring preservation and ready display. A distinctive addition to any modern or abstract art collection, this piece embodies Sorby’s mastery of material experimentation and spatial harmony. A graduate of Colorado State College of Education and student of Vance Kirkland and William Joseph Eastman...
