Jackson Pollock Works

“Lavender Mist” / “Painting no 1, 1950” 221× 300cm

“The Key” – Jackson Pollock, 1946 Oil on canvas 1.47× 2.16m

Pollock utilizes broad, swirling brushstrokes and bold, layered colors to create a sense of depth and dynamic movement. The composition is densely packed with organic shapes, lines, and forms, hinting at both abstraction and figures, which draw the viewer's eye across the canvas in a complex, almost chaotic dance.

“Number 27” Jackson Pollock, 1950 Oil on canvas

dynamic drip painting characterized by intricate layers of swirling, overlapping lines in black, white, and earthy tones. The canvas bursts with energy, as Pollock’s signature "all-over" technique covers the surface with dense, rhythmic patterns, creating a sense of movement and depth.

juxtaposes two contrasting halves: one side features an abstract, tangled web of lines and shapes, while the other contains a haunting, semi-abstract face.

“Ocean Greyness” 1950 Oil on canvas

features swirling layers of muted grays, whites, and blues, creating a dense, misty atmosphere. The painting’s textured, rhythmic patterns evoke the movement and depth of ocean waves, embodying a tranquil yet mysterious quality.

“Number 1, 1948” – Jackson Pollock, 1948, Oil & enamel on canvas

dynamic, large-scale drip painting that showcases his signature style of gestural abstraction. Using oil and enamel, Pollock creates an energetic, chaotic composition of tangled lines and splatters, emphasizing movement and spontaneity over form. The work is a prime example of his shift toward full abstraction.

“The Moon-Woman Cuts the Circle” Jackson Pollock 1943, Oil 1195x104cm

surrealist-inspired painting featuring a dynamic, abstract depiction of a female figure and symbolic forms. The work blends organic shapes, energetic brushstrokes, and vivid colors, reflecting Pollock's early exploration of mythology and psychological themes, with a focus on movement and emotion.

“Autumn Rhythm” 1950 (2.6m x 5.3m)

This work is an excellent example of Pollock’s drip technique. The canvas was used without primer and paint was applied from all around it.

Top Section: black, brown and red paint was splattered and thrown onto the canvas, causing a definite direction of marks. Bottom Section: black and brown paint dripped down sticks and brushes, the marks are generally more flowing and curved. In some places so much paint was applied that it dried in puddles, forming ridges in the surface. The overall impression is one of vibrant energy and vitality.
