Charles Villiers – Hurricane Amanda

Amanda Hurricane Amanda by Charles Churchill Villiers
36″x36″ Oils on Canvas
$9500

One of small series of non-objective modern abstract paintings by Charles Villiers, each was named for a love in his life in the way that storms are named.

This particular piece really caught my attention, I like the square format and the custom metal floater framing. It’s an old-school modern abstract, heavy impasto oils on Egyptian canvas. Each in the series had varying scale, shape and framing details. It’s quite difficult to create a painting this way and I admire how almost sculptural it is.
