John Millei – Glossolalia – Large-Scale Abstract Painting

$13,000

Rendered in oil and acrylic, this large-scale abstract composition builds a luminous field of interlocking gestural bands in silvered white, amber gold, and pale sage, the layered mixed media creating a dimensional depth that shifts and glows under direct light. Titled “Glossolalia” the work was originally exhibited at Ace Gallery in Los Angeles and represents a major painting by John Millei, one of California’s most celebrated contemporary abstract painters.

John Millei is a Southern California-based painter dividing his time between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Working since the late 1970s across large-scale abstraction, seascapes, and art-historical themes, Millei has exhibited internationally at venues including Ace Gallery, Fredric Snitzer Gallery, and Galerie PCP, with works held in the permanent collections of LACMA, the Centre Pompidou, and the Nasher Sculpture Center, among others.
