Abstract Eichler 1
Acrylic on Canvas, 2001, 24" x 30"
These paintings are based on the work of home builder Joseph Eichler. Eichler was known to take great pride in choosing the colors of the homes he built. Here the artist matched the original greenish ceiling stain of her post and beam Eichler home and used this color as the basis for all the other colors in these 'tone poems.'
The work is also based loosely on the work of Modernist Mondrian and 1960s textile artists. When placed against Philippine Mahogany walls - the painting looks like it has lived there all of its life! $245
