Salmon Run
18 × 14. Acrylic on canvas. Gallery Wrap
This painting is another striking example of abstract expressionism, characterized by its bold, swirling brushstrokes and a vivid, contrasting colour palette. The canvas is dominated by a dynamic interplay of colours, primarily featuring vibrant turquoise and teal blues, bright mustard yellows, deep blacks, and rich browns, with accents of white and hints of green and purple in the mix.
The brushstrokes are thick and textured, applied with a sense of fluidity and motion, creating a marbled, almost liquid-like effect in some areas. The paint appears to have been layered heavily, with some sections showing a glossy, wet appearance, suggesting the use of oil or acrylic paint. The strokes swirl and blend into one another, particularly in the blue and yellow areas, giving the impression of movement, as if the colours are flowing or melting together. In contrast, the black and brown sections are more defined, with sharper, more angular strokes that add a sense of structure amidst the chaos.
The white patches stand out prominently, applied in thick, impasto-like strokes that create a sense of depth and texture. These white areas act as highlights, drawing the eye across the canvas and adding a sense of balance to the otherwise intense colour scheme. The overall composition feels turbulent and energetic, evoking the feeling of a stormy sea, a cosmic explosion, or perhaps an emotional outpouring captured in paint.
This painting shares similarities with the second one you shared, particularly in its abstract style and use of bold, expressive brushwork. It also aligns with the abstract expressionist movement, reminiscent of artists like Mark Rothko or Franz Kline, who used colour and form to convey emotional depth and intensity.
