Perez Celis New York 1990 Signed Painting on Paper Abstract Expressionism Framed

Abstract expressionist painting on paper titled "New York" by Argentine artist Perez Celis, created in 1990. Hand signed, titled and dated along the lower margin. The composition features sweeping gestural forms and layered areas of pigment rendered in black, yellow, red, and white. A large arcing shape moves across the surface, creating a sense of motion and structure, while areas of splattered and dripping paint add texture and spontaneity. The work appears on two joined sheets of paper. Perez Celis was known for expressive abstract compositions that often referenced architectural forms and cultural themes from Latin America and the cities where he worked. This painting reflects the artist’s energetic brushwork and bold color contrasts during a period when he was actively exhibiting internationally. A signed work from this period provides collectors with an example of Celis’ abstract expressionist style and his connection to the New York art scene of the late 20th century.

From a private collection. Dimensions: 41.5"h x 52.5"w x 2.25"d (framed). Overall in very good condition.
