About the Item

A profound meditation on what lies beneath the surface, this work captures the fleeting moment where light strikes a darkened city. It is a visual poem of structural decay and vibrant rebirth. The deep, midnight blacks act as a heavy velvet curtain, occasionally parting to reveal a pulse of urgent red and the soft, lunar glow of metallic leaf. The canvas is a landscape of texture—scumbled oils and precise acrylics collide to create a surface that feels lived-in and ancient. The geometry of the piece suggests a labyrinth of memory, where each block of color is a door left slightly ajar. Its square 24" x 24" proportions offer a balanced, window-like portal into an atmospheric world of shadow and shimmer. This is a "quiet-loud" piece. It does not demand attention through chaos, but rather earns it through its moody, sophisticated presence. It is best suited for an environment of contemplation—placed above a low-profile credenza or as the anchor of a private library—where its metallic undertones can catch the evening light.

Untitled Black - Large Textural Original Abstract Artwork - Ready to Hang
By Olympio
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This large textural abstract energetic artwork on canvas by Togolese artist Olympio is a unique mixed media painting with a raw and direct aesthetic, providing an unfiltered manifestation of the artist's soul. Its expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color palette and the incorporation of an additional piece of canvas to the surface add an extra dimension of texture and interest to this already captivating piece. Olympio's raw and direct approach to mixed media and collage on canvas creates a tactile experience that provides a captivating insight into the artist's creative vision. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures that are perfectly balanced by the peaceful compositions beneath, creating a sense of harmony and balance in this exceptional artwork. This 60 inch square mixed-media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. His technique brings forth a powerful composition of color and texture. Several details emphasize the texture and materiality of his canvases. The painting is wired and ready to hang. The sides of the artwork are painted and it does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping are available. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by Artplex Gallery is included. Painting, for Olympio, is following a feeling. It is discovering the internal balance of a piece and recognizing beauty when it is unveiled. In his early 20's in the coastal city of Lomé, he would watch the sky slip from blues into oranges and reds. These colors captured him and drew forward the pieces that have since brought his work into galleries around the globe. He now resides in Los Angeles and is collected worldwide.
