The City

$1,200.00

30 × 40. Acrylic on canvas

This is an abstract painting executed in a bold, expressive style with heavy impasto technique—thick, textured layers of paint applied with a palette knife or brush, creating a rich, tactile surface.

The composition is non-representational, dominated by vertical strokes and drips that suggest rhythm and movement, almost like an urban skyline or a forest seen through fire and smoke, though it remains firmly abstract. The colour palette is warm and dramatic: intense reds and oranges dominate, interspersed with deep blacks, grays, creamy yellows, and ochres. The reds range from bright vermilion to deep crimson, while the yellows and golds add highlights and a sense of light or heat.

The paint application is energetic and gestural—broad, sweeping strokes, scraping, and dripping create a sense of depth and chaos balanced by the strong vertical orientation. Black accents provide strong contrast and structure, anchoring the composition and adding a sense of drama or mystery. The overall mood is intense, passionate, and somewhat turbulent, evoking themes of energy, transformation, or inner turmoil.

It has the feel of mid-20th-century abstract expressionism (reminiscent of artists like Willem de Kooning or Gerhard Richter's abstract works), but with a contemporary edge in its colour intensity and textural boldness. The painting is visually striking and invites prolonged viewing as the eye moves through the layered textures and shifting colours.
