Description: This is a profound and emotionally evocative RARE Modern New York Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting on canvas, by acclaimed New York modernist Lemya Elsophia (1979 - ). This work depicts a thought provoking and kinetically charged abstraction of blue, black, gray and brown, and elicits an intellectual response from the viewer at the subconscious emotional level. Elsophia has created a name for herself in the New York contemporary art scene, and yet the enigmatic artist's paintings are very scarce, and her artistic practice and private life are hidden from the public eye. She has not produced any new abstract works in the last decade as far as the world knows, and this particular piece ranks among her best. Approximately 30 x 30 inches. Signed: "ELSOPHIA" at the lower middle edge. Additionally, this work is signed, dated, annotated and titled on the verso: "Copyrighted Lemya Elsophia Material"...Lemya el Sophia 2005"...THE EDGE." Good condition, with some light edge wear from storage. Acquired from an abandoned storage locker in Hollywood, California. This immensely talented Neo-Expressionist painter is worthy of all her accolades, and the opportunity to own one of her best pieces known is one that cannot be missed.
