Steven H. Rehfeld'Interplay' by Steven H. Rehfeld - Colorful Small Mixed Media Abstract 2003
2003
About the Item
"Interplay" by Steven Rehfeld is a compelling 25" x 25" contemporary abstract mixed media work, embodying the intricate dance between structure and spontaneity. The canvas is a vivid tableau of color and texture, where bold strokes of crimson and cobalt intertwine with subtle washes of lavender and icy blues. The viewer's eye is immediately drawn to the juxtaposition of free-flowing forms against geometric patterns and grid-like elements, suggesting a cityscape overlaid with the unpredictable flow of nature. This tension between the organic and the architectural is further accentuated by layers of contrasting textures, from thick, impasto-like applications of paint to delicate paper cutouts and imprints. The work evokes a sense of discovery as if peeling back layers of urban life to reveal the underlying heartbeat of the world. Each viewing offers a new perspective, a fresh interpretation, much like the ever-changing landscape of a city in motion. "Interplay" captures the essence of transformation and the meeting point of diverse elements, making it a striking reflection of both the chaos and harmony inherent in modern life.
About the Artist:
Steven is now one of the top emerging artists in the U.S. His works are groundbreaking, bold, and imbued with unflinching disregard for painting conventions. Many works are in collections and museums in the U.S.
Steven is also part of the 'Outsiders' school of art, originating in France in the 19th century. Also known as the Naïve movement, and was comprised of people with no art training at all, who suddenly started to paint. Many of them are from very challenging backgrounds. All they had was talent that had never before been tapped. In no time this movement became a significant art phenomenon and spread all over the world.
His work, however, has branched out past the movement and his use of earth elements renders a basic and raw interpretation of his message.
Original, one-of-a-kind.
Shown at The American Art Gallery, Carmel-By-The-Sea, California.

Steven H. Rehfeld
Steven H. Rehfeld, a California artist, holds a B.A. in studio art from the University of California, Santa Barbara. He draws inspiration from the 'Outsiders' school of art that originated in 19th-century France, known as the Naïve movement. Also referred to as the Naïve or Primitive art movement, was comprised of artists with no formal art training who discovered their talent and began painting. Many of these artists came from challenging backgrounds, and their raw talent remained untapped until they expressed themselves through art. The movement quickly gained prominence and spread worldwide. Steven Rehfeld's artistic style has evolved beyond the Naïve movement, incorporating earth elements to create a basic and raw interpretation of his artistic message.

Artist Statement "My oil, acrylic, and mixed media paintings explore the dynamic relationship between progressiveness and tradition, personal and cultural experiences, and the interplay between the human form and iconography. Through these explorations, I engage in a dialogue that reveals how the intangible influences the material world. Color contrast forms, negative/positive space, and visual kinetic energy shape these artistic relationships. Additionally, I fuse abstract art with elements of realism to create a unique artistic experience."

- "Subliminal" Colorful Mixed Media Contemporary Abstract by Steven H. RehfeldBy Steven H. RehfeldLocated in Carmel, CAThis 20" x 30" contemporary abstract mixed media piece by Steven Rehfeld is a captivating exploration of form, color, and texture. The composition features a harmonious blend of soft pastel hues — calming blues, delicate pinks, and mellow yellows — juxtaposed against more assertive tones of deep magenta, vibrant orange, and charcoal gray. The painting showcases Rehfeld's signature style of blending geometric shapes, notably triangles and circles, with freer, more organic brushstrokes. The added depth is achieved through the inclusion of mixed media elements: fragments of paper with faint sketches, scribbles, and translucent overlays create a multidimensional visual experience. The smoky, sinuous black mark towards the center adds a hint of dynamism, while the layered application of paint and paper produces a tactile richness, making the piece an engaging visual journey.
