Things with Tops(2012)
Do you have a similar work for sale?
Two rectangular shapes one in painterly brown the other in dark navy are topped with white and beige. These enigmatic and humorously titled "things with tops" are contrasting outcrops on a precisely painted ground of rectangles. The rectangles in shades of yellow follow the artist's minimalist and contemplative approach to acrylic painting on plexiglass. The work can be shipped as is, unframed, or a frame could be determined and added prior to shipping (which will add to the shipping cost).
Cantine's work is a poetic and intellectual exploration of a pictorial problem, color as structure which has infinite variations. Cantine may be referred to as a post-minimalist, a term coined by Robert Pincus-Witten in 1971 to describe work with a minimalist tendency but that uses modest materials and aims towards a pure formalist aesthetic.
