Euphoria by Gary Jurysta

Gary Jurysta, Euphoria, 1971

Acrylic on Shaped Canvas, Signed, Titled, and Dated Verso

In this bold 1971 work, Gary Jurysta transforms painting into sculpture. A red and white trapeze-shaped canvas, hand-built and stretched by the artist, features a ripple at the top where white paint flows across the raised surface. The piece blurs the line between object and image, showcasing Jurysta’s exploration of form and space. Signed, titled, and dated on the back, it reflects a key moment in his career and the era’s push beyond traditional flat canvas.
