24 × 16. Acrylic on canvas. Gallery Wrap
This painting is a bold, abstract piece that leans heavily into a gestural, almost chaotic style, with a strong emphasis on texture and colour contrast. The canvas is dominated by a vibrant palette of green, yellow, black, and white, with splashes of red adding a striking accent throughout the composition.
The painting appears to be divided into rough, rectangular sections, though the boundaries are loose and organic rather than strictly geometric. Each section is filled with a mix of broad, sweeping brushstrokes and smaller, more frenetic marks. The green and yellow areas are particularly prominent, with the green taking on a vivid, almost lime-like hue in some spots, while the yellow ranges from mustard to a brighter, more golden tone. These colours are layered over and interspersed with black, which is applied in thick, heavy strokes, creating a sense of depth and contrast. The black areas are often dotted with white, giving a speckled, almost animalistic texture, reminiscent of a leopard print or a splattered surface.
The white background of the canvas is left exposed in many areas, but it’s far from clean—it’s spattered with small flecks of red, black, and green, adding to the overall sense of energy and spontaneity. The red splashes are particularly eye-catching, scattered across the canvas like bursts of energy or emotion, tying the composition together with their intensity.
The brushwork is varied and expressive, with some areas showing thick, impasto-like applications of paint, while others appear more diluted, almost as if the paint was dripped or splashed onto the surface. This combination of techniques creates a raw, visceral quality, as if the artist was working quickly and instinctively, letting the paint guide the process.
This painting evokes the energy of artists like Jean Dubuffet or the raw, textured works of the Art Brut movement, with its unpolished, almost primal approach to form and colour. The painting feels like a burst of raw emotion or a snapshot of a turbulent natural scene, such as a stormy jungle or a chaotic urban landscape.
