Oceania
Oceania is a large scale abstract painting by California based contemporary artist Chase Langford, working from his studio in Rancho Mirage. The composition features undulating horizontal bands of organic form in a rich palette of ocean blues, aqua, white, and warm earth tones, evoking the sensation of water flowing over polished stones or aerial views of tidal geography. Langford's signature layered approach gives the surface a tactile, almost geological depth that rewards close inspection. The work was announced as new on the artist's Instagram and added to his website alongside other recent paintings.

Artists in conversation
Joan Mitchell
American · b. 1925
Mitchell created large scale abstract paintings with layered oil paint that evoked natural landscapes and water through sweeping gestural fields of color, particularly blues and earth tones. Her work shares the same organic fluidity and emotional resonance with coastal and natural environments found in Oceania.
April Gornik
American · b. 1953
Gornik's paintings consistently explore luminous water, tidal landscapes, and the interplay of light across oceanic and atmospheric environments with a similarly meditative and expansive quality. Her focus on horizontal banding of water and sky in rich blues and warm tones aligns closely with the visual language of this piece.
Wolf Kahn
American · b. 1927
Kahn worked with layered oil paint to build luminous horizontal compositions rooted in observed nature, using rich and unexpected color harmonies that bridge abstraction and landscape. His tactile surfaces and organic banding structure share a direct visual kinship with Langford's geological depth and palette.
