Jonathan Lasker:
Jonathan Lasker, born in 1948 in Jersey City, USA, is a significant contemporary painter known for his unique combinations of abstract forms and colors. Lasker’s works are characterized by a blend of strict geometric elements and expressive, gestural brushstrokes that stand in contrast to one another. His works reflect engagement with the fundamental building blocks of painting, especially line, form, and color, and they echo the tradition of abstract art, akin to artists such as Frank Stella and Cy Twombly.
Lasker’s paintings often consist of seemingly simple yet well-thought-out shapes applied to the canvas in layered fashion. In this sense, a connection can be made to Frank Stella, who, with his “Hard Edge” painting and clear geometric structures, helped shape the abstract art of the 1960s. While Stella focused on line precision, Lasker contrasts this formal discipline with thick, gestural brushstrokes that recall Cy Twombly’s free, emotional approach. Both artists employ a deliberate juxtaposition of order and chaos, with Lasker additionally foregrounding the physical textures of paint.
Another influence on Lasker’s work is Minimal Art, especially the works of Donald Judd. Judd’s concept of viewing artworks as autonomous, physical objects that stand on their own is reflected in Lasker’s use of highly structured color fields that sit like “objects” on the canvas. Lasker creates a deliberate tension between the physical materiality of color and the illusion of space, bringing him close to artists like Robert Ryman, who also explored the materiality of color and its relationship to the picture plane.
Lasker’s art is also influenced by Pop Art, particularly in the way he organizes visual space and presents simple forms within a complex, multi-layered context. In this regard, there are parallels to the works of Jasper Johns, who linked abstraction with the everyday through the use of symbols and stencils. Lasker similarly uses simple geometric forms and structural elements to place them in an abstract dialog with one another.
In summary, Jonathan Lasker remains a central figure in contemporary abstract art. His work engages with the traditions of abstract and minimalist art and interacts with artists such as Frank Stella, Cy Twombly, Donald Judd, and Jasper Johns. Lasker’s layering of forms and his tension between order and free gesture have made him an important artist whose work reinterprets and extends abstract painting.

The works we offer all come from the respective publishers, art galleries and institutions such as museums that published them in close cooperation with the artists. The works you find with us are often several decades old, in perfect or good condition and without a previous private owner.
