24-143 Bruce J. Bloom Original Abstract Drawing 19 x 16

$375.00

Energetic contemporary original watercolor and pastel painting on paper by Bruce J. Bloom. Circa early 2000s. It measures 19 × 16 inches. It can be oriented vertically or horizontally. Framed in matte black with an extra-thick 8-ply mat.

Bloom’s work is heavily influenced by the Mid-Century New York Abstract Expressionists and Action Painters such as Cy Twombly, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Robert Motherwell, and Jackson Pollack. This particular example is reminiscent of Joan Miró and Joan Mitchell.

Bloom (1935-2019) had a long career in advertising before turning his attention to painting and printmaking. He was a resident of the North Fork of Long Island, not far from our gallery. His work was varied, including abstract and figurative subjects. One commonality is a superb understanding of color and composition, as well as an expert technique and high quality materials. We acquired his work directly from the estate.
