Description:
Joe Stefanelli belonged to the New York School Abstract Expressionist artists.
Predominately orange, this painting has a vocabulary of drips, scumbled paint, short, intense gestural brushstrokes and scratches in the paint film. The forms are described by linear brushstrokes of green and lemon yellow with subtle hints of pink, stacked on top of each other in loose squares like boxes or buildings. The paint is a heavy impasto and concentrated in areas where the forms are described.
