Uptown Acrylic on paper, framed 42" H x 30" W "Uptown" is an abstract painting on paper that pulses with upward energy — a cascading formation of chartreuse and charcoal crescent forms builds into a peak at the top of the composition like a wave cresting or a flock lifting into flight, while below, stacked outlines of the same crescent shape in lime green and pale yellow anchor the base, a looping tangle of pale blue threading through the center like a current of air or thought connecting the two registers. The work feels kinetic and optimistic, Bassis' invented symbolic language here at its most exuberant — a conversation between accumulation and ascent. Read More
Shadow Hat Acrylic and Gouache on Paper 30" H x 22" W "Shadow Hat" is an abstract painting on paper that returns to familiar symbolic forms in a darker, more charged register — a deep navy cloud-shape is topped by a thick stroke of acid yellow that drips down its face in slow, deliberate drops, the yellow continuing its descent as scattered dots that trail across the open white ground toward a lone mark at the bottom edge. Below and to the left, the honeycomb-structured wing or hat form from Bassis' symbolic vocabulary rests quietly, its fine linework a counterpoint to the bold darkness above — the whole composition holding a tension between weight and lightness, accumulation and release.

The open white ground gives each element room to breathe and be itself, the composition feeling less like a scene than a private conversation between forms that somehow understand each other.
