NEW Original Acrylic Paintings Sumo Wrestler and Sunset Surfer, by Ben Gertsberg

As you know, Ben was working on another Sumo Wrestler painting which he has recently finished. He started it before his Sumo Wrestler In Blue piece and then he took some time to paint his new piece Sunset Surfer.

In his Sunset Surfer painting Ben's approach to the composition is similar to the one used in Sumo Wrestler In Blue
Charcoal outlines the surfer's figure figure and Ben used two colors, red and blue, to create this figurative minimalist abstraction. The piece is inspired by the beauty and elegancy of surfers soaring over waves and basking in the sunset and influenced by the Pablo Picasso's surrealistic and biomorphic exploration of the boundary between abstraction and figuration. The figure of girl surfer is balancing on the invisible surfboard, in perfect harmony with the wind and ocean waves.

Ben's Sumo Wrestler is also a figurative minimalist abstract art piece, in muted shades of olive green. It was inspired by the traditional Japanese martial art of Sumo wrestling and influenced by the Pablo Picasso's work.

Ben is happy with both pieces and he is currently working on another piece for this series.
