Sandra Perlow Abstract Expressionist Painting

Updated September 4, 2026

Bold and energetic abstract composition by artist Sandra Perlow, titled "Flicking" and dated 2002. Executed in mixed media on canvas, the work features a dynamic interplay of vivid orange and red fields contrasted with cool blues and turquoise linear elements. Organic and geometric forms intersect across the surface, creating a sense of movement and layered depth. The composition reflects Abstract Expressionist and contemporary abstract influences, with gestural application, spontaneous mark-making, and strong color contrasts driving the visual impact. Thick, textured areas of paint and expressive brushwork contribute to a tactile, highly visual surface. Signed lower right; additionally signed, titled, and dated on verso. 42" x 35" unframed.
