“Quiet Rebellion” is a bold yet contemplative painting, echoing the spirit of mid-century abstract expressionism while maintaining a distinctly personal voice. Executed in black acrylic and charcoal on a stark white background, the work draws its power from restraint rather than excess—each stroke is measured, each splatter intentional.
The composition walks a fine line between chaos and control, evoking the quiet defiance of an artist seeking truth not in perfection, but in process. With its elegant balance of gesture and restraint, this piece is ideal for collectors, interior designers, and curators seeking work that brings depth, narrative, and aesthetic discipline to a space.
This painting complements a refined environment, whether in a mid-century modern interior, a minimalist contemporary home, or a richly layered art collection.
Quiet Rebellion is an original abstract painting on artist canvas board with the artist signature and monogram on the reverse. Although the painting is shown vertical, it can also be displayed horizontal as well. The artwork is framed in a warm, textured copper-tone wood frame and is ready to hang.
