Abstract
"Ocean Park #129" exemplifies color field painting, a style of abstract art that emerged in mid-20th-century New York. The artwork features large expanses of flat, solid colors, creating a sense of unbroken surface and emphasizing the flat picture plane. The focus is on the overall consistency of form and process, with less attention to gesture or brushstrokes. Rendered on a canvas using oil paints, the piece explores color as a subject in itself, free from objective references, embodying the core principles of this movement.
