‘UNTITLED GARDEN’ BY BRIAN MESSINA (2017)
An abstract, 20th-century oil-on-canvas by New York postmodernist BRIAN MESSINA (d. 2019). One of several paintings specially commissioned from the artist by MODERN REDUX, this multicolored, impressionistic work depicts a field of wildflowers beneath a clouded blue sky. Highly textural, it evokes assorted patinas of rotting and decay—e.g.: rust, lichen, etc. We appreciate the self-referential “meta” title. Unframed; signed bottom right. That’s all I wanted—was for it to take you elsewhere—where is up to you. . . . – BRIAN MESSINA DETAILS Artist – BRIAN MESSINA (d. 2019) Period/Year – 2017 Origin – USA Styles/Movements – ABSTRACT; CONTEMPORARY; IMPRESSIONIST Media – OIL Support – CANVAS Colors – YELLOW, BLUE, RASPBERRY, WHITE Condition – Excellent condition.
