{"product_id":"moonhunt-friedel-dzubas","title":"Moonhunt - Friedel Dzubas","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn abstract oil painting by Friedel Dzubas, featuring a dense, dark central form set against a luminous golden background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFriedel Dzubas was a significant figure within the mid-century American art scene, having moved to New York in 1939. His work from the late 1950s often demonstrates a transition from the gestural energy of early Abstract Expressionism toward the expansive, colour-focused approach that defined his later career. Moonhunt is a representative example of this period, where the application of paint suggests both physical movement and atmospheric depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is dominated by a heavy, dark central mass that appears to descend from a luminous, golden upper field. Dzubas employs a technique of dragging and layering pigment, which creates a sense of verticality and weight. The dark, earthy tones of the central form contrast with the lighter, almost ethereal background, while small accents of turquoise and green at the base introduce a secondary chromatic tension. This work avoids representational imagery, instead relying on the interaction of colour fields and the physical texture of the paint to engage the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDzubas often worked with large canvases, allowing the scale of the work to dictate the viewer's physical response. In Moonhunt, the relationship between the opaque, dense central structure and the surrounding space creates a dynamic equilibrium. The paint application is deliberate, showing the artist's interest in the materiality of oil on canvas. By focusing on the interplay of light and shadow through abstract forms, Dzubas invites an interpretation based on visual sensation rather than narrative content. This piece captures a moment of stylistic shift in his practice, balancing the raw energy of his earlier works with a more controlled, meditative use of colour and space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sunshine-after-rain-helen-frankenthaler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunshine After Rain - Helen Frankenthaler — Helen Frankenthaler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/untitled-35-14-balcomb-greene\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (35-14) - Balcomb Greene — Balcomb Greene\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Friedel Dzubas","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527511183695,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527528255823,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58527528288591,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527528321359,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527528354127,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527528386895,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527528419663,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527528452431,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527528485199,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58527528517967,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58527528550735,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58527528583503,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Moonhunt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786504469410.jpg?v=1787241102","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/moonhunt-friedel-dzubas","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
