Ronald Bloore was a member of the Regina Five group, all of whom were abstract painters from Saskatchewan. Bloore was well known for the purity and austerity of his white monochrome paintings, and Untitled – Abstract is a classic example of this group of works. In his 1977 essay “Ronald Bloore: New Byzantine Lights and Other Paintings,” Theodore Heinrich writes about the artist’s work from the early 1960s, “Two tendencies strongly present in even the earliest of the abstract or non-figurative works…the denial of the participation of the brush and the insistence on relief, however shallow…It is this relief…that gives Bloore’s painting its most distinctive character and makes one wonder whether all along he hasn’t suppressed a desire to be a sculptor…It has, despite not being arranged in the regular rows of normal writing, a surface densely packed in an overall pattern with a 'cuneiform' inscription of the kind the idle form on bar tables with matches or toothpicks.”
