Possession
2009
Possession by Charles Arnoldi is a striking example of the artist's exploration of color and form through geometric abstraction. This 2009 acrylic on canvas features a grid-like composition of various shades of red, maroon, and deep purple, creating a dynamic interplay of warm and cool tones. The subtle variations in texture and sheen within each block add depth and visual interest to this powerful and contemplative work.

Ellsworth Kelly
American · b. 1923
Kelly's hard edge paintings and grid based color panels share the same bold chromatic blocks and geometric precision seen in Possession, with particular emphasis on the interplay of warm and cool tones across adjacent color fields.
Gene Davis
American · b. 1920
Davis's Washington Color School paintings feature modular stripe and grid compositions in rich acrylic hues, closely mirroring Arnoldi's contemplative color field approach and the subtle tonal variations within a unified geometric structure.
Olivier Mosset
Swiss · b. 1944
Mosset creates large format acrylic canvases built around monochromatic and near monochromatic blocks of saturated color with minimalist geometric organization, producing the same powerful and contemplative mood found in Possession's red and deep purple grid composition.
