Sara Noel: Contemporary Abstract Expressionist at Saks Galleries

Sara Noel shares a common thread with Helen Frankenthaler, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Lee Krasner and Joan Mitchell. Like these women abstract expressionist who came before her, Sara Noel is immersed in the art form. While generations separate these artists, Sara found the kindred spirit that binds them - empowering color-drenched expansive compositions.

Sara executes the abstract with energetic strokes of intense color, exploring layers of paint using a series of color palettes. The results express directness, mature gestures, and radical movement in expansive compositions – paintings we can get ‘lost in’.

Not to leave anyone out, Sara has been influenced by the male counterparts of the American Abstraction Expressionist Movement as well. Willem de Kooning, Gerhard Richter, Mark Rothko, Cy Twombly and Franz Kline, all young passionate thinkers who developed their own sense of creating through the irresolute period of World War II. The darkness and uncertainty of the times brought out the strong emotions of these painters fulfilling a desire to shed the archaic forms of cultural expression.

Sara values the very essence of Abstract Expressionism, which to her is spontaneity and improvisation tapping into the collective consciousness. She feels painting is an adventure into the unknown.
