Ocean Cyan Rust Abstract Oil Painting
Ocean Cyan Rust, by Angela Simeone, mixed media on raw canvas, 52 x 52 inches. This abstract composition by Nashville-based artist Angela Simeone features a pale beige ground enlivened by interlocking forms of vibrant cyan blues, rust browns, and accents of yellow and purple, with bold black outlines and gestural lines suggesting organic foliage or marine motifs, exemplifying her color theory approach through complementary contrasts of cool cyans against warm rusts that evoke depth, movement, and emotional resonance via layered washes, splatters, and expressive marks. Reminiscent of Paul Gauguin's post-impressionist works, the piece shares his bold chromatic symbolism and flattened, exotic forms, though Simeone's contemporary abstraction emphasizes fluid, atmospheric interplay over Gauguin's narrative figuration and saturated tropical palettes.
