Dennis Sakelson (20th/21st Century, Bucks County, PA) - Vibrant Abstract Expressionist Composition on Cardboard

This dynamic abstract expressionist painting by Dennis Sakelson exemplifies the artist's signature modernist style, characterized by bold, energetic drips and splatters in a vivid palette of greens, yellows, reds, blues, and blacks against a textured ground. Executed in oil (or mixed media) on cardboard—a nod to Sakelson's experimental approach to everyday supports—the composition evokes the raw, gestural energy of mid-20th-century abstraction, reminiscent of influences like Jackson Pollock while rooted in the Bucks County artistic tradition. Signed "D. Sakelson" in the lower right, this work measures approximately 23" x 23" overall, including the elegant matted gold-toned frame, with the visible artwork slightly smaller to accommodate the mat. Presented in excellent condition with vibrant color retention and no apparent restoration, it is ready to hang and adds a burst of contemporary vitality to modern, eclectic, or gallery-style interiors.
