New York Artist Vincent Serbin Non Objective Abstract Painting. Signed. 2006

For sale is one of three original Vincent Serbin non objective abstract paintings we are selling here in our eBay Store. Serbin began his career and made a name for himself in the art world as a photo collage artist but around 2005 he began to take his artistic talents to canvas in the form of non objective abstract works. His style is still evolving in this medium up until his current work which is a continuation of this development, wherein the artist paints abstract canvases of varying sizes and shapes that are then covered over. Ropes and twine pull at the edges and folds making the covering take on an almost skin-like aesthetic. He calls these “tie backs”. This process of concealing and revealing is described by the artist as an “evolutionary adventure.” The paintings we are selling are from 2006. This was the beginning of his development in this medium. The work featured in this sale is a non objective abstract work on canvas that depicts a centric morphic shape in fleshy orange pink tones against what appears to be a landscape with blue sky. The surface is worked with a built up textured surface of paint. Signed titled and dated on the reverse by the artist.

Unframed Measurements: 20” x 20” Vincent Serbin Artist Bio: My artistic and exploratory sensibilities were formed during the years 1990-2010 when I experimented with alternative processes in photography. During that period I explored the nature of film photography and developed my own style of photomontage which I called the "negative collage". It was an experimental approach that was concerned with the nature of time , visual perception and especially the material qualities of film and silver prints. The works that I created during that time were essentially about my personal experience with the process and materials. It was a non-objective approach that naturally led me into the field of abstract painting. In the year 2005 I became a painter - strictly committed to a non- objective approach. For the past ten years I have nurtured an intuitive process that emphasizes the material qualities of paint and canvas. Shaped stretcher frames , double layers of canvas, power sanding and attached shrouds of canvas are techniques that I currently use to expand and explore the formal elements of painting. I work in an indeterminate yet deliberate manner that allows the painting to organically evolve. The general structure of the work fundamentally expresses my existentialist point of view and reflects my interest in certain postmodern concepts such as; pastiche, fragmentation; and the potential for unpredictable mutations. Each finished painting is the culmination of a process I would best describe as an evolutionary adventure. Its distinct structure is fundamentally shaped by the nature of my personal sensibility and individual perspective.
