WELCOME
Thank you for stopping by to have a look at this collection of abstract expressionist paintings, in this combination portfolio and online art gallery featuring  original abstract artwork by Laurie Vaughn. This site represents a selection of abstract expressionism, as it has evolved over a 12 year period, in a selection of works from various series from that period. The abstract expressionism that I've concentrated upon developing, has been a continuation of the movement first created by the iconic artists of the New York School art movment, during the post-war era. Earning the distinction of being the first American art movement to receive international acclaim, I evolve out of that repertoire, and consider  my work to be an extension of that genre.

When it comes to technique, you can clearly see the influences of Joan Mitchell, Jackson Pollock, Willem deKooning, Lee Krasner and Hans Hofmann in this collection. Combining various classic techniques including "action painting"   and poured composition. Figurative elements inspired by the CoBrA art movement. from post-war Europe....specifically the expressionism created by luminaries  from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam, including Karel Appel, Lucebert, Corneille, Theo Wolvecamp and Bengt Lindstrom.

Having the good fortune to find Berlin artist Peter Keil, residing in Fort Lauderdale, after moving here, from New York City, I was able to acquire  additional development, while  mentoring with Peter Keil, mostly through an exchange of ideas and then later, while doing occassional restoration work on his canvases, for local clients. It was quite thrilling to discover Peter her, as he is a student of Miro, having spent time with the artist on Ibiza in the 60's. He is one of the founding members of the  European based "Wlden Grosse" contemporary art movement that includes Ranier Fetting, Elvira Bach and George Baselitz, who have all been influential .
