July 2025: Paul Balmer

We’re excited to share a fresh collection of new works by internationally celebrated artist Paul Balmer. Known for his richly layered surfaces and abstracted interpretations of cityscapes and architecture, Balmer’s new pieces continue to reflect the global influences and evolving vision that we get to see in his work.

Early Light

Early Light, Mixed Media on Canvas Over Board, 38 X 72 inches

This vibrant piece unfolds like a celestial mosaic, composed of a grid filled with symbols, moon phases, and abstract forms rendered in soft blues, golds, and blacks. The repetition and variation within the structure suggest both order and mystery—like a coded map of cosmic rhythms or a dreamlike calendar charting time, place, and imagination.

 

Blue Moon

Blue Moon, Oil on Canvas, 60 X 36 inches

In this cityscape, iconic skyscrapers rise in a dreamlike composition layered with texture and whimsical detail. The familiar forms of New York architecture, including the Chrysler Building, are reimagined through a playful, abstract lens—bathed in rich blues and scattered with moon phases and linear markings that evoke both celestial movement and childlike wonder.

 

French Table

French Table, Oil on Panel, 48 X 48 inches

This still life presents a richly textured, abstracted table scene, where everyday objects—fruit, bowls, and vessels—are arranged in a rhythmic, geometric composition. The interplay of bold black-and-white stripes, soft pastel tones, and flattened perspective lends the piece a playful yet structured feel, capturing both the spontaneity and precision that define Balmer’s style.
