This amazing, colorful, and brilliant original oil paintings book is an extensive collection of nearly every oil and acrylic painting that this master artist has completed during his painting career as of yet. Covering many styles such as abstraction, surrealism, and figurative work, this artist has touched on key ideas and facets intertwined with various styles and time periods of art. His paintings are unique to his own style, and unique in themselves, although he draws inspiration from abstract expressionism, surrealism, and cubism at times. It is a ton of work, all compressed into a single comprehensive visual display.

There are over 160 examples of this original abstract artist's oil paintings in this book. Many are pure abstraction, some use form and shape as subject, while others may be based on representational subject matter. The use of color is wildly dramatic sometimes, yet is always presented in a balanced fashion.

Over the course of two decades, this artist pursued oil painting with the highest degree of interest and involvement. Some of the newer pieces are in the front of the book. All of the old pieces are also in this book, as well as many early pieces which have never yet been published anywhere.

At one point, the artist developed a unique style for creating his paintings called Systemic Hard Edge Abstraction. He approached the design of each painting with a design method that he considered in an almost scientific way. The artist kept a running list of shape combinations that he later translated into oil paintings, thus creating an abstraction that utilized the best of his drawings over a period of time. The forms and designs of these pieces involve the judicious juxtaposition of forms, shapes, and patterns to create a significant level of variety stemming from a keen interest in drawing and design.

This painter of surrealism and abstract art has made tons of colourful and interesting original abstract oil paintings included in this book. Journey with @yessickart back to 1999 when he first started painting. Next, move to his more recent highly refined work. The early work is also not to miss, as he explores the depths of abstract gestural painting and pure allover abstraction. Look at his intricate pattern paintings, and also check out his surreal paintings of sculptures in museums. This is a unique and original visual art by a contemporary artist at his best.

Consider this book if you would like to see an abstract and surreal oil painting artist who did amazing things throughout the course of his painting career. If you just want to see a lot of time and effort compressed into one hundred and sixty-eight pages, try the book whose abstract oil paintings took nearly half of this artist's adult life to make.

See amazing, visionary artwork in this extraordinary and unique painting book that would thrill any art lover or artist. The range of ideas covered within this body of work of tremendous breadth! This selection is just ideal for those who love surrealism or abstract art. A top recommended choice for art lovers and art enthusiasts alike!
