“Cosmic Zen” is a significant piece within the Abstract Expressionism movement, created by the artist Jack Armstrong. Painted in 2010 in Los Angeles, California, United States, this artwork is an acrylic medium on canvas measuring 91.44 x 60.96 cm. The piece currently resides in a private collection and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork showcases a vibrant and textured composition dominated by robust shades of red interlaced with swirls and strokes of green, blue, and white. The thick application of paint creates a dynamic depth, giving the painting an almost sculptural quality. The overall effect is a chaotic yet harmonious dance of color and form, embodying the introspective and expressive nature typical of Abstract Expressionism. The interplay of vigorous brushwork and vivid hues invites viewers to immerse in the meditative vigor and cosmic themes suggested by the title.
