Capturestheheartland 1991

"Captures the Heartland" (1991) is an abstract painting by Stanley Boxer (1926-2000). The artwork is characterized by a vibrant, layered composition. The left side features a textured, brightly colored, almost electric orange stripe, against which brushstrokes of blue and grey are layered. This portion appears to be a contrasting background to the textured, dominant red surface that takes up the majority of the canvas. The texture and movement created through Boxer's layered approach give the piece a depth and intensity that is reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism.
