Tom Wesselmann (Cincinnati 1931-2004 New York) Long Beach Seascape, 1991/95 Alkyd oil on cut-out aluminum 99.1 x 190.5 cm Signed and dated on the back Provenance: the estate of the artist Tom Wesselmann’s creative approach was in constant evolution throughout his long and productive career. Never one to follow artistic convention, he continually sought new materials and formats. His fascination with innovative surfaces and technologically advanced techniques drove him to push aesthetic and formal frontiers, as seen in 'Long Beach Seascape'. In the 1980s, Wesselmann developed a laser cutting technique that opened up a new world of creative possibilities. Using this novel method, the artist delighted in transposing his bold visual vocabulary into works that challenged the boundaries between painting, drawing, and sculpture. Speaking to the New York Times in 1985, Wesselmann couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for the new medium: 'I've just had the best year of my life [...] I always work in a kind of near ecstasy, anyway, but there's really been something about the new work that grabbed me.'' Centering dynamic line and vibrant colour, 'Long Beach Seascape' demonstrates the artist’s endless pursuit of radical forms of creative expression.
