Description

Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas
20.4 x 29.4 Inches (Framed)

A vibrant and dynamic abstract piece with a strong focus on color and gestural lines, featuring loose, figurative elements.

The painting leans heavily into abstract expressionism with its energetic application of paint and non-representational forms. However, it also incorporates discernible figures to suggest a narrative or symbolic meaning.

The surface includes texture and layering. Paint is applied with a degree of spontaneity, evidenced by drips, splatters, and visible brushstrokes. This adds to the dynamic and energetic feel.

A vibrant and contrasting palette, featuring intense blues, yellows, pinks, purples, and browns is juxtaposed for maximum impact. Shapes and figures outlined with thick, dark lines stand out against the colorful backgrounds.

The image features several simplified figures, some appearing more defined than others, engaged in interaction and movement. The background includes abstract shapes and color fields, creating a dynamic and somewhat chaotic environment for the figures.

The piece doesn’t present a clear, easily deciphered narrative. Instead, it invites the viewer to interpret the scene and the relationships between the figures based on their emotional response to the colors, forms, and gestures.

Lines play a crucial role, defining shapes, creating movement, and adding a sense of energy to the composition. The shapes are mostly abstract and organic, with hints of recognizable forms, such as human figures. The colors are highly saturated and play a significant role in creating the painting’s emotional impact. The surface has noticeable texture, adding a tactile dimension to the visual experience.

The painting is mounted in a handmade, hand painted, wooden “floating frame”.
