as a abstract painter focusing on color field surfaces and textures i was inspired to achieve similar properties using photography,
so i started several art photography series using various objects from old wooden fishing boats to vacant warehouses on an retired navy shipyard and other places where i could find interesting objects,
over the years i created several of these collections and like to offer some of them here as fine art prints,

“See the beauty in the pure abstraction of paintings by El Cerrito artist Harry Gruenert”

I recently purchased two pieces of work by Harry Gruenert for my home in Palm Springs, CA. and I can honestly say that I believe that he is one of the most promising and up- and-coming abstract artists in California.The breadth and depth of his work is amazing and the textual, tonal and very painterly qualities he employs are quite something to observe. The multiple overlay of colors and very deliberate brush stroke clearly identifes his work. He is clearly influenced by Rothko and other abstractionists of the mid to late 20th Century.
