Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new edition with artist Johnny Abrahams, Untitled. Johnny Abrahams explores color, shape, texture, space and the mind-eye-body connection to various visual elements. His meditative works reflect the artist’s minimalistic sensibility while satisfying his meticulous process. The subtle variation of angles and curves conveys drama and tension, his shapes stacked in a manner that seems to communicate the very limitations of gravity. ⁠

Often working exclusively in black-and-white, Abrahams’ works contrast curving, zigzagging and straight lines with a figure-ground reversal plane that enhances the viewer’s subjectivity through movement. In Untitled, Abrahams utilizes a deep blue hue to create a composition that introduces an alluring dialogue between positive and negative space. While the abstract figures in Untitled serve as striking and dramatic forces, the work is ultimately balanced through the delicate manner in which the forms interact with each other. In Untitled, we watch as Abrahams continues to celebrate the timeless value of elegance and simplicity. Says the artist: “doing more with less is always a primary condition that informs [my] work.”
