Artist: Jim McMahon Title: #1 Planes Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Sight Size: 36 x 48 in. Verso: Signed "Jim McMahon" on stretcher; retains original Latch-String Gallery, Fort Worth, Texas gallery label titled #1 Planes with an original retail price of $300. A striking minimalist abstract acrylic on canvas by Jim McMahon, titled #1 Planes. This large-scale composition explores the subtle interaction of geometric forms through a restrained palette of pale white, soft grey, and delicate green linear structures. The overlapping rectilinear planes create a quiet sense of depth and spatial tension, reflecting the hard-edge abstraction and color field aesthetics that gained prominence during the 1960s and 1970s. Artist Biography: Jim McMahon is an American abstract painter associated with the minimalist and geometric abstraction movements that flourished during the latter half of the twentieth century. His work emphasizes balance, proportion, and subtle tonal relationships rather than representational imagery, creating compositions that invite quiet contemplation. McMahon exhibited through regional galleries in the United States, including the Latch-String Gallery in Fort Worth, Texas, where many of his works were marketed to collectors of contemporary abstraction. His paintings reflect the enduring influence of artists such as Josef Albers, Ellsworth Kelly, and Agnes Martin through their emphasis on structure, harmony, and restrained colour palettes.
