Description: This vibrant Abstraction you are about to bid on is a unique 1982 oil on canvas is by listed American/New York artist, Charles Keeling Lassiter (1926-2006). The work carries a sense of unrestrained inventiveness, indulging into the medium without reservations. The recognizable space diffuses into an atmospheric abstract color fields. The piece reads like fluid depiction of a stream of consciousness - shapes emerge, almost forming familiar objects, and continue shifting. Impulsively executed, the piece maintains a freshness that is hard to come by, while maintaining the delicacy and subtlety characteristic to watercolors. This uniquely energetic, tactile work on canvas would make a wonderful addition to any modern collection. Distorted, provocative, humorous: all these words describe Lassiter's fantasies, but ultimately, the piece falls into neither of the categories completely, and rather exists in an alternate, fully developed vision of the artist. Lassiter holds back nothing, presenting us with every detail of his dreamscapes. This is a fascinating work that is both conceptual and expressive! One absolutely must see this piece in person to truly grasp the variety and energy infused in this Lassiter piece! Don't miss the opportunity to own one of his works at an amazing eBay price!

Charles Lassiter has been noted in several notable publications including, but not limited to,The Artist's Bluebook (Ed. Dunbier, Lonnie Pierson, 2005), Davenport's Art Reference (Ray Davenport, 2005), and The Art Collection of the First National Bank of Chicago (1974). Charles Keeling Lassiter spans both worlds; he is a trained artist who is also considered an outsider. He has participated in numerous exhibitions including the Museum of Modern Art in 1956 and the Musée de L'Art Brut in1986. He work has often been compared to Jean Dubuffet because of his raw and primitive renderings. Works in this show are all from the 1950's and have rarely been seen. Provocative and spontaneous eruptions that seem to rise up out of the dark, the portraits are not of this world but are precise visions of some inner sense of his being. Lassiter's works can be found in such collections as the Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
