Description: For sale is a wonderful abstract mixed media painting on canvas by the New York abstract expressionist painter and sculpture Busser Howell. This painting comes from the artists Iraq war series. It was made in response to broadcasts during the Iraq War of the massive night bombing campaigns launched by the United States. The Iraq was about darkness and consisted of collages made of ripped black tar paper, the material itself manufactured from the product that triggered the war–oil, itself the blackest black, the absence of all light. The result was a compounding of the darkness of violence by the darkness of night by the darkness of ignorance. The artwork in overall good condition. Some areas of wear to the tar paper along the edges and one small surface indentation. Please see all pictures for consideration. Signed on the wooden structure bar on the reverse by the artist. Measurements: 30" x 24" Busser Howell is an abstract expressionist painter and sculptor who lives and works in New York City. His painting has undergone a steady and restless evolution, from the exploration of geometrical shapes as a vocabulary for generating harmony and luminosity, to a series of tar paper and mastic aerial-view collages evoking the landscape of night bombing at the beginning of the Iraq war, to a period of more densely-textured works that were both more formal in the rectilinear division of the canvas. Originally from Ohio, Howell attended the Dayton Art Institute, Wright State University, and Boston University School of Fine art.
