New painting, "Ascendancy of Modernism II". Active pointillist paint strokes of intense pure pigments create an abstract harmonious design within a representational subject. See this metamodern painting at the classic Gruen Galleries in Chicago.

Metamodern cityscape with pure pigments of yellow, magenta, chromium and viridian green, cadmium red, and cobalt blue that "musically" harmonize across the canvas. Reminiscent of Impressionism but with the color intensity of the Fauvists https://t.co/GVnCcGjcpa
