Christopher Mudgett Portrait Paintings

American, b. 1982

Christopher Mudgett (b. 1982, USA) stands among the most compelling voices in contemporary painting, inhabited by a singular vision that merges the raw urgency of expressionism with the structural rigor of early-20th-century modernism.

Known for his bold reduction of the human form and his command of stark black-and-white imagery, Mudgett has developed a visual language that is both immediately recognizable and deeply rooted in the lineage of modernist drawing and print traditions. His paintings and works on paper distill subjects to their essence, creating compositions that feel at once ancient and incisively modern, evoking the clarity of classical draftsmanship while embracing the conceptual rigor of minimalism.

Born with a natural inclination toward line, gesture, and psychological resonance, Mudgett has spent his career exploring how little is needed to say the most. His practice is marked by a commitment to refinement, discipline, and continuity; each body of work builds consciously upon the last, forming an evolving investigation into identity, form, and the silent power of reduction. His studio, a private crucible of research and experimentation, remains the central axis of his life as an artist.

Mudgett’s work has garnered the attention of collectors, curators, and cultural institutions worldwide, who recognize in his practice the rare combination of formal restraint and expressive potency.

With an international collector base and exhibition history that continues to expand, Mudgett stands as a significant voice in 21st-century American art—an artist whose dedication to his craft and uncompromising clarity of vision position him firmly within the unfolding narrative of contemporary art history.

Paloma s Dance - Original Oil on Canvas Abstract Figurative Dancer Painting
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Mark Acetelli’s oil and mixed media paintings awaken the viewer’s sense of exploration and adventure; they demand a new discovery. His artworks exhibit a chemistry of complexity and spontaneity, a lyrical abstraction of frenzied marks, many of which previously lay hidden, buried beneath strong layers of self-taught expression. Those truths, first obscured and then obvious, aim to engage the viewer, allowing them to explore their own interpretation. His figurative abstract artworks are represented by Artspace Warehouse in Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including London, New York, and Hong Kong. This original oil painting on canvas measures 20 inches high by 16 inches wide. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted black and it does not require framing. It is signed by the artist on the front of the artwork and titled on the back. Convenient local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and international shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included. Mark Acetelli was born in Detroit into an artistic household. Mark’s mother herself was a painter and some of his earliest memories were the smell of turpentine and oil paints. Growing up surrounded by his mother's work, she inspired and encouraged him to become an artist. Acetelli’s paintings are inspired by the intensely personal introspective journey of life, from the ever-changing complexities of love, loss, birth, and death. The context of his work he describes as, “Absence and Presence” pertaining to how someone or something can be physically gone, but the essence still remains. Capturing the physical mixed with spirituality on canvas. His application of paint is an extension of that thought process. He works by continuously building up and tearing down, layer upon layer, adding and subtracting. A visceral dance between the conscious and the unconscious until the emotion is expressed. Acetelli’s paintings may go through multiple incarnations with the past lying just beneath the surface, adding to its overall dimension and depth. In his work, Acetelli seeks to evoke a feeling rather than depict a defined image. He uses primarily oils and encaustics to create thickly layered canvases with emotive bursts of color. Creating a world where imagination and reality come together. Acetelli’s works can be found in many private and corporate collections around the world, including Bill Withers...
