About the Item

Lee Cox (American, born 1941) "Playbill Residue" 2023 Acrylic Paint, Mixed Media, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the bottom right of the painting. Playbill Residue is more than an abstract; it’s a map of memory. Lee Cox layered fragments of old theater playbills that once adhered to the walls of his San Francisco home, left by the old tenants, each piece a time stamp of laughter, awe, or shared silence. The torn textures suggest movement, like curtains pulled between acts. At first glance, it’s color and form, but look closer and you’ll find hints of typography, ticket stubs, and lived-in joy. This is a painting that reminds you. About the Artist: Lee Cox is a Carmel-based abstract artist whose layered acrylic compositions draw from personal memory and emotion. A lifelong collector and student of abstract art, Cox turned to painting after a successful 35-year career in telecommunications. His intuitive process, often guided by music, blends vivid color, pencil line, and texture into visual reflections of lived experience. Each work invites viewers to explore their own internal landscapes.

Untitled No. 63  Abstract Composition Mixed Media

Untitled No. 63 Abstract Composition Mixed Media

By Michael David

Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL

Untitled No 63,​ abstract composition 1987 Mixed media on wood panel, wax, oil, paper. signed with initials, gallery label. Abstract painter Michael David is best known for his use of encaustic, a technique that incorporates heated beeswax and pigment.

Alongside his work on canvas, David has developed a body of studio photography that recreates paintings by Caravaggio, Manet, and Mantegna, among others, in works that confront racism, homophobia, and sexism. David also works in mixed media and environmental sculpture...
