Exaltation IV

$5000

This is Fred Chuang at full velocity — a composition that detonates with geometric confidence and chromatic audacity. Concentric circles of every scale orbit and collide across the canvas, each one a self-contained universe of layered spray paint, their edges kissed with the telltale spatter that only Chuang's reverse-panel technique can produce. Against a bold black rectangle anchoring the center, the circles pulse outward like sound waves from a jazz improvisation — controlled, intuitive, and impossible to ignore. The collector who acquires this work is acquiring more than a painting. They are acquiring a conversation between Kandinsky's geometric idealism and a Los Angeles artist who learned to paint from the wrong side of the glass. That reversal — that willingness to surrender control in exchange for luminosity — is what separates Chuang's work from any imitation. The way light moves through each ring, warming the golds, electrifying the magentas, cooling the periwinkles, is a phenomenon no photograph fully captures. It must be lived with. As demand for works that bridge mid-century geometric abstraction and contemporary spray-paint mastery continues to accelerate, this piece stands as a defining statement in Chuang's body of work. It is joyful, rigorous, and unmistakably singular — the kind of acquisition that anchors a collection and invites every visitor to ask: how did he do that?
