The abstract painting titled “Eclipse Over Patina” by Jeffrey Cornett is a striking visual element within this room. Its vibrant orange background injects a bold pop of color into the otherwise neutral color scheme of the space. The pattern of black circles that suggest an eclipse adds a dynamic and modern touch to the artwork. This juxtaposition of color and form creates a focal point that draws the eye and invites contemplation.

In the context of the room, the artwork’s size is proportionate to the wall it adorns, creating a sense of balance. The round shapes of the eclipse contrast with the clean, straight lines of the furniture, such as the sofa, coffee table, and TV stand, providing a break from the angular geometry that dominates the room. This contrast not only adds visual interest but also softens the room’s modern, almost industrial aesthetic.

The color palette of the painting, with its warm orange hues, complements the cooler grays of the sofa and the concrete wall, creating a harmonious balance between warmth and coolness. The black circles echo the darker tones found in the cushions and other accents in the room, such as the dark shelving of the TV stand, tying the artwork back into the overall design of the space.

The painting’s theme of an eclipse can also metaphorically resonate with the room’s design, where the play of light and shadow is evident through the natural light entering from the large window. This celestial event depicted in the painting can parallel the interaction between the interior space and the external environment, further enhancing the cohesion between the art and the room’s aesthetic.. Overall, “Eclipse Over Patina” works well within the setting by adding a layer of texture and color that complements the room’s contemporary design. It acts as a statement piece that enriches the visual experience of the space without overwhelming it, reflecting a well-considered choice of art that resonates with the room’s architecture and furnishings.

“Eclipse Over Patina” is available in three current options (1) large format master painting (2) bookshelf sized limited edition mounted canvas and/or (3) as a printed ten note card set with envelopes)  as the sole pattern or as a collection of Orange & Black works.

 

Nothing More Personal Than A Handwritten Note Card From Our Collection

 

"Coded Rhythms"

"Coded Rhythms"

©2024 Jefferey Cornett

“Coded Rhythms” by Jeffrey Cornett is a vibrant and thought-provoking piece that I chose as the first significant work of art to gift to my father for his new office. As a young woman new to the art-collecting scene, I found this piece to be refreshingly accessible yet deeply complex, embodying a spirit of modernity and energy that I felt would resonate with my dad’s innovative and forward-thinking nature.”

This artwork consists of two vertical columns of horizontal black brush strokes on a vibrant orange background. The strokes vary slightly in length and thickness, which suggests they may have been hand-painted or drawn, providing a textured, organic feel. The uniformity of the lines and their arrangement into two columns give the work a rhythmic and structured appearance, reminiscent of a musical score or barcode patterns.

The stark contrast between the black lines and the orange field creates a visual pop effect, emphasizing the graphic nature of the piece. The lines themselves, while orderly, have a rough, almost frayed edge, contributing to a sense of controlled chaos within the systematic arrangement.

"Orange Eclipse"

“Orange Eclipse” by Jeffrey Cornett is a bold and mesmerizing addition to my seasoned collection. As an experienced buyer, I have encountered numerous works, but Cornett’s minimalist approach here is laudably profound in its simplicity and impact.”

The artwork displays a minimalist design, consisting of a bold black ellipse with a thick, orange border set against a solid orange background. The ellipse is slightly off-center, and its form is echoed by a narrower black outline within, creating a visual effect of depth and layering. The simplicity of the form and the stark contrast of black against orange give the piece a graphic quality that is both modern and striking.

The clean lines and restricted color palette focus the viewer’s attention on the interplay of shapes and the negative space within and around the ellipse. This composition can be interpreted as an abstract representation of various themes, from a solar eclipse to the concept of layers, depth, and focus.

 "Aureate Resonance"

“‘Aureate Resonance’ is a testament to the power of simplicity. The repetition and color have a hypnotic quality that I find incredibly soothing after a long day.”

The artwork features a series of concentric arches rendered in a fiery orange hue that stands out vividly against a deep black background. The texture of the arches is rough and expressive, with the brush strokes visible and adding to the dynamic feel of the image. The arches are reminiscent of a cross-section of growth rings in a tree or the ripples from a stone thrown into water.

The warmth of the orange creates a sense of heat and energy, as if the arches are radiating light or warmth. The dark background provides a stark contrast that accentuates the brightness and draws the eye towards the center of the concentric shapes, inviting contemplation of the focal point within the layers.

"Entropy in Orange"

“As a new collector, I am thrilled to add “Entropy in Orange” to my burgeoning collection, particularly as it is a work by the  contemporary artist, Jeffrey Cornett. This piece is a quintessential example of Cornett’s adeptness at navigating the fine line between order and chaos, a theme that resonates throughout his oeuvre.”

This artwork presents a striking contrast with a chaotic, scribbled black form centered on a vivid orange background. The black form is dense and appears to be composed of numerous erratic, crisscrossing lines, giving it a sense of depth and texture that stands out against the flat, uniform orange. The randomness of the black strokes creates an almost palpable energy, as if capturing a moment of frenetic movement or the aftermath of a dynamic event. The choice of orange as a background not only accentuates the black but also evokes emotions of warmth, vibrancy, and excitement. The composition is simple yet powerful, with the abstract nature of the scribbles leaving much to interpretation. It could be seen as a metaphor for chaos amidst order, a visual representation of noise, or an abstract expression of inner turmoil or intensity. The lack of a clear structure invites viewers to project their own ideas and feelings onto the piece

"Nocturnal Pulse"

“The depth of ‘Nocturnal Pulse’ is mesmerizing. It’s a piece that has become the centerpiece of my living room, and it never fails to spark conversation.”

This artwork is an abstract piece composed of stark black shapes against a bright orange background. The black shapes are dominant and centrally located, with a smooth, opaque finish that strongly contrasts with the textured, more dynamic orange surrounding them. The exact nature of the shapes is ambiguous; they might suggest a form of modern hieroglyphs or could be interpreted as a stylized representation of objects or figures, depending on the viewer’s perspective. The piece’s simplicity and the use of a limited color palette focus attention on the interplay between the shapes and the background, creating a bold visual impact. .

“This 2024 Orange & Black Collection artwork would make a strong statement in any space, providing a focal point that is both commanding and thought-provoking. The simplicity of its color palette belies a complex emotional undercurrent,  a powerful expression of abstract art.”

"Tangerine Whorl"

“The artwork has been a centerpiece in our main lobby, offering a burst of warmth and vitality with its rich tangerine backdrop. Patients, visitors, and staff alike often paused to admire Cornett’s bold loop—a black form that suggested continuity and movement, perhaps reflective of the ever-continuing cycle of healing and care that defines our institution.The texture of the piece, visible even from a distance, spoke to the tactile nature of our work—hands-on, personal, and deeply human.”

“Tangerine Whorl” is an abstract expressionist piece by Jeffrey Cornett that features a bold, black circular shape on a textured tangerine orange background. The black shape is not a perfect circle but more of an organic loop, giving the impression of motion, as if it were a brushstroke captured mid-swirl. The background is alive with variations in tone and brushwork, creating a sense of depth and movement reminiscent of a richly painted surface or the natural patina of a well-worn material.

The stark contrast between the black and the bright orange creates a striking visual tension. The orange hue is energetic and warm, while the black adds a grounding element. The piece has a raw, visceral quality, with the brushstrokes visible and the texture almost palpable. It evokes a sense of the artisanal hand at work, where precision gives way to emotion and intuition.

The overall effect is one of dynamic tension between the two elements – the calm solidity of the black shape and the lively, almost chaotic energy of the orange field. It’s a study in contrasts: organic versus geometric, motion versus stillness, and rough versus smooth.

"Cocoa Orbits"

“The playful nature of ‘Cocoa Orbits’ brings such a warm and joyful energy to my space. It’s like having a little bit of the cosmos right in my own home.”

This artwork displays an assortment of orange circles of varying sizes on a dark brown background. The circles are neatly distributed across the field, but not in a uniform pattern, giving the image a sense of randomness and organic distribution, like bubbles rising in a dark liquid or celestial bodies scattered across a night sky.

The contrast between the vibrant orange and the deep brown creates a warm, inviting palette, while the simplicity of the shapes lends the piece a graphic, modern feel. The varying sizes of the circles add depth and interest, preventing the pattern from feeling monotonous.

The title for this artwork is “Cocoa Orbits,” which reflects the color scheme and the spherical shapes that might remind one of planets orbiting in space.

 "Resonance Disrupted"

As a couple who has recently ventured into the art-collecting world, “Resonance Disrupted” by Jeffrey Cornett is our inaugural purchase, and it could not have been a more perfect selection for our apartment. This artwork brings an exciting blend of boldness and subtlety that has transformed our space into a statement of contemporary aesthetics.

“Resonance Disrupted” by Jefferey Cornett is a striking abstract piece that utilizes a bold contrast of black against a fiery orange background. The artwork features a series of dense black horizontal bars that are evenly spaced and stretch across the width of the canvas. These bars are reminiscent of a visual equalizer or the strings of a musical instrument, conveying a sense of order and rhythm.

Interrupting this regularity are speckles and shards of white that appear to be emanating from one side of the canvas, scattering across the field of orange. The effect is that of a disturbance or an interruption, as if a sudden force has disrupted the harmony of the black lines. This could symbolize a moment of disruption in silence or a static signal in a calm sea of order.

Overall, “Resonance Disrupted” is a dynamic and engaging piece, emblematic of Cornett’s ability to convey complex concepts through minimalistic yet powerful visual elements.

"Eclipse Over Patina"

“Eclipse Over Patina” by Jeffrey Cornett is a fascinating piece that I am delighted to include in my collection. As a new buyer, I find this work to be a captivating blend of abstract art and representational imagery, encapsulating the innovative spirit of Cornett’s artistic endeavors.” 

The artwork features a series of solid black circles arranged in a seemingly random pattern over a textured background that blends different shades of orange, white, and hints of earthy tones. The background has a rough, almost distressed look, with areas that appear like peeling paint or rust, giving it a tactile quality that suggests age or exposure to elements. The black circles have crisp edges and are uniform in color, which creates a stark contrast against the variegated, abstract expressionist style of the underpainting.

The interplay between the geometric precision of the circles and the organic, imperfect texture of the background evokes a sense of order amidst chaos. It’s as if the circles are superimposed on a wall with a history of decay and repair, a common theme in urban environments.

 “The playful nature of ‘Cocoa Orbits’ brings such a warm and joyful energy to my space. It’s like having a little bit of the cosmos right in my own home.”

This artwork features a series of bold black circular forms on a white background speckled with a dense scattering of coral-pink dots. The black circles are varied in size and not uniform; some are solid, while others have smaller circles within them, creating a sense of depth and layering. The the washed out orange dots give the background a textured look, almost like splattered paint or a petri dish culture, adding a dynamic and organic feel to the composition.

The contrast between the solid black forms and the playful pink speckles creates a visual dialogue, with the black shapes seeming to float over the lively background. This piece could be interpreted as a playful take on the traditional polka dot pattern, with an added complexity that invites the viewer to look closer and discover the variations and imperfections in each element.

Overall, the artwork has a modern, graphic quality with a hint of whimsy due to the irregularity and the bright pop of color. The simplicity of the color scheme and the boldness of the shapes give it a strong visual impact, suitable for eliciting a cheerful and energetic response from the viewer.

“At first glance, the artwork is a study in contrast, a visual representation of the second law of thermodynamics – the inevitable drift from order into disorder. The black strokes, reminiscent of calligraphy, are set against an unyielding orange canvas, which acts as a vibrant counterpoint to the anarchic dance of the marks. The intensity of the orange background is not just a backdrop but a participant in the narrative, providing a sense of depth and emotion to each piece.”

 

“Collecting a Cornett is not just an investment in art; it is an investment in a narrative that continues to unfold. Each piece is a conversation starter, a statement, and a testament to the enduring power of abstract expression. “Entropy in Orange” is a stellar addition that embodies the boldness and vitality of Cornett’s artistic vision, and it solidifies my decision to delve into the world of art collection with enthusiasm and confidence.”

 

As a collector, I am drawn to the depth of narrative and emotion in “Eclipse Over Patina.” It is a piece that engages the viewer on multiple levels. On one hand, it is a simple aesthetic pleasure; on the other, it is a profound meditation on time, nature, and the cosmos. The more one looks, the more one sees, and this quality ensures that it will remain a conversational centerpiece in my collection for years to come.

 

“The more I view the Orange and Black Collection work  the more I appreciate its ability to stand as a metaphor for numerous dualities – creation and destruction, growth and decay, movement and stillness. It is this layered complexity that makes Cornett’s work so compelling and a must-have for collectors who are keen to acquire pieces that not only enhance the aesthetics of a space but also provoke intellectual and emotional engagement.

 

Jeffrey Cornett has a unique ability to capture complex concepts with minimalistic elegance, and “Eclipse Over Patina” is a testament to that skill. It is an investment that goes beyond the financial—it is an investment in a piece of art that will never cease to inspire and provoke thought. It reflects my ambition as a collector to acquire works that are not only visually stunning but also intellectually stimulating.

 

“These compositions are an intriguing interplay of organic and geometric forms. These techniques from patina effects to provocative are executed with a sophisticated understanding of color and texture, showcasing Cornett’s mastery of his medium.”
