Description
Electric and unrestrained, this original 1992 abstract monoprint by artist Kurt Merry is a high-energy focal piece capturing the transitional aesthetic of early 1990s Postmodernism.
Grounded by a deep, dark horizontal color field, the work utilizes a striking, saturated palette of cobalt blue, vibrant magenta, and bright cyan. This rich color gradient is overlaid with aggressive, spontaneous white gestural lines that inject a sense of immediate kinetic movement and raw, street-influenced energy into the composition.
Crucially marked "MONO" (Monoprint), this piece is a true one-of-one original work on paper, balancing intense graphic structure with the direct, unrepeatable spontaneity of the artist's hand.
Postmodern-Street.
The piece is housed in its original, premium custom deep-profile Nielsen pewter aluminum frame. The cool, metallic tone of the pewter grounds the electric nature of the palette, giving it a sophisticated gallery presence. It features its original etched non-glare glass, which provides a soft, beautiful matte diffusion that prevents room reflections from interrupting the deep neon and jewel tones of the art.
A substantial and sculptural anchor piece, perfect for high-end residential interiors, minimalist loft spaces, or design projects featuring clean architectural lines and raw materials.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Excellent vintage studio condition. The original unique work on paper is perfectly preserved. Very light, age-appropriate wear to the custom pewter-finished Nielsen aluminum frame profile. Nothing worth noting. The etched non-glare glass is intact, clear, and structurally sound. Ready to hang.
Materials & Techniques:
Pewter, Printmaking Materials
