Cy Twombly
American · b. 1928

Twombly similarly combined pencil, charcoal, and paint on canvas in layered gestural compositions that blur the boundary between drawing and painting. His introspective abstract works share the same earthy, textured experimental quality seen in this piece.

Charline von Heyl
German · b. 1960

Von Heyl creates densely layered abstract canvases using mixed media including unconventional materials, producing complex surfaces with a similarly experimental and contemporary sensibility. Her work shares the same tension between material richness and introspective abstraction.

Oscar Murillo
Colombian · b. 1986

Murillo works with layered mixed media on canvas incorporating unconventional materials and raw surfaces that evoke a similar textured and experimental contemporary aesthetic. His abstract compositions share the same earth toned palette and introspective emotional depth present in this work.
