Geometric Composition in Oxide and Slate — Contemporary Abstract

A striking contemporary abstract painting by Toronto artist Robert Kamnatnik, known for his minimalist yet tactile compositions that balance geometry, texture, and color. Executed on board with a linen border, the work explores the tension between precision and gesture — deep oxide red and slate-grey panels are bisected by a raised impasto band of white linear strokes that give the surface a sculptural energy.

This modern piece can be displayed either vertically or horizontally, offering flexibility in its presentation and a different visual rhythm from each orientation. When hung vertically, the composition evokes architectural proportion and structural calm; horizontally, it takes on a serene, meditative balance reminiscent of a landscape study in abstraction.

Presented in a clean, contemporary black frame that complements the work’s modernist palette and materials.
