At its heart, this is a collection of high-energy abstraction: drip, splash, and gestural fields that feel vibrant in modern spaces. Paintings here offer layered skeins of paint, rhythmic patterning through splatters and drips, surfaces that can be read from across the room and reward a closer look. Here, we share what to know about action painting, how various materials can impact the feel (enamel, oil, acrylic, and mixed media), how this work fits within mid-century and contemporary lineages, and more. You will find guidance on selecting by palette and scale, tips for care, and a map to discover adjacent artists and movements. Whether you are drawn to a statement canvas, archival print, or otherwise, each piece here is a distillation of movement into structure, chance into design. Cover: "Instancy 1" by Liudmila Davydenko
