Tim Yanke (American, b. 1962). "Paramount" acrylic on canvas, 2020. Hand-signed in pigment on lower right by the artist. A striking painting by American abstract artist, Tim Yanke, presenting his signature blend of a gestural application of bold colors - in this case fiery oranges and reds with black and white - and text. Yanke's technique is organic. Oftentimes approaching the canvas "with an idea in mind" but only selecting colors once he has begun, he enjoys working with a variety of media, oftentimes including written words, as we see in this painting, but leaving the interpretation of these messages up to the viewer. Yanke has pointed to the influences of Abstract Expressionists such as Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Wassily Kandinsky, Cy Twombly, and Jackson Pollock. In addition, music is an important part of Yanke's creative process, enabling him to "free his mind and unlock his raw, creative potential, which in turn helps him capture the flow and rhythm of whatever he is working on." Size: 17.375" L x 23.375" W (44.1 cm x 59.4 cm) Size of frame: 31.5" L x 37.375" W (80 cm x 94.9 cm)

Tim Yanke earned his fine arts degree from the University of Texas in Denton. Yanke's honors include being selected as an "Artist Resident" for the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts in Saratoga, Washington in 2012 as well as the official artist of the Amelia Island Jazz Festival in Florida in 2015. In addition, Yanke has generously donated more than twenty of his American flag pieces known as "Yankee Doodles" to Habitat for Humanity homeowners in Oakland County.
