This striking abstract painting, "LABYRINTH XIX" (1990) by renowned artist Reginald Rowe, features a deeply textured purple background with askew black stripes that evoke tension, movement, and mystery. The bold interplay of color and form draws the eye inward, offering a layered and meditative experience true to the artist’s expressive roots.
Reginald Rowe, a second-generation Abstract Expressionist, spent most of his prolific career in South Texas, where he became known for his mythologically inspired, shaped abstract works. He was a pioneer of abstract art in San Antonio, widely respected as both an artist and educator. His influence spanned decades, including his leadership at the San Antonio Art Institute and curatorial role at the Witte Museum.
Rowe’s work has been shown at prestigious venues including the Dallas Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, and a solo retrospective at the McNay Museum in 1996. "LABYRINTH XIX" is a powerful example of his late-career mastery—simultaneously grounded in classical myth and visually dynamic in form.
A rare opportunity to own a piece by a foundational figure in Texas modern art.
