"artifact #28" by Steven McHugh  Image: "Artifact #28", a unique mixed media original oil painting that is sure to captivate any art enthusiast. This one-of-a-kind piece features a combination of graphite, charcoal, oil, and cold wax on layers of newspaper, cardboard, and canvas collaged on a masonite panel. The cool grays and warm light yellow hues with black marks create a striking contrast, making this painting truly stand out. Measuring 12" tall by 9" wide, it is framed in a black simple Neilson metal frame, adding an elegant touch to the overall presentation. Add a touch of sophistication and individuality to your space with this exceptional work of art.
 
The artwork is an abstract painting with a rich texture and a variety of materials and colors integrated into its composition. The piece shows an assemblage of different forms and strokes, combining neutral tones like whites, grays, and browns with subtle inclusions of color, such as yellow. There is a use of lines and drips creating a dynamic sense of movement across the canvas. The painting also includes what looks like collage elements, where printed text and patterns are visible beneath layers of paint, suggesting a mixed media approach. These elements are interspersed with intentional splotches and scratches, contributing to the artwork's layered and weathered visual effect. The piece is framed, giving it a finished and contained appearance.
