Details
Louis Buhl & Co. is pleased to present a new print edition with artist Russell Tyler, titled Blue Mountain. Tyler’s work methodically explores distinct formal variations in his paintings, from gestural abstractions to spacey landscapes and dense floral compositions. His sensuous, expressive painting style belies the fact that his work is highly structured and unfolds with deliberate shifts in color and form.
A demonstration of Tyler’s method-based approach to abstraction, Blue Mountain is composed of various shapes and forms that are organically imperfect yet decisively graphic at the same time. The edition makes references to various bodies of nature, such as mountains, sky, and moon, without veering into representational territory. Of equal inspiration to nature, themes of technology and the digital age are simultaneously explored by Tyler. The contrast between the two sources of influence is visually represented through the edition’s value range; deep purple, earthy tones are set against rich, synthetic blues, forging a jarring dichotomy within the work.
