Flashes of Gold is an intricate and detailed piece of modern
art. The aesthetics of this original canvas painting are rich and full of
sensuous details that will leave the viewer thrilled and fascinated. It is not
easy to distinguish a straightforward subject from the intricate lines of
Flashes of Gold, yet there is wonderful variation and interest among each of
the painting's diverse parts. The focal point of this painting is the knotted
series of gray lines that first draw the eye. These seem reminiscent of organic
shapes in their intertwined and subtle movement- something similar to a bare
branch or the knobby trunk of a tree. This is an interesting subject for the
painting at hand and within it are numerous interesting shapes and points of
both shadow and light. The diversity within such a small stretch of canvas is
by itself a rich viewing experience and creates dynamism that is not often seen
in such a minimalistic piece of art. While the foreground of this painting is
extremely interesting- the background is also quite moving! A vibrant
aquamarine fills the majority of the canvas, applied with thick brush strokes that compliment the other
facets of the painting. At different junctures this brilliant blue is both cast
in shadow and splashed with light. These contrasts further the romantic feeling
and deep impressions left by Flashes of Gold.
Furthering the fantastic modernism of this piece, the artist
has applied the paints that comprise Flashes of Gold across four separate
canvas panels that highlight the decreasing size of the primary subject. While
the shapes of this painting feel overwhelmingly contoured and organic, the
sharp lines created by the gaps in the canvases creates a keen line that draws
a powerful contrast among the design of this painting and its composition. This
also creates a great “wingspan” for the painting that makes it quite
breathtaking when hung on a wall. The increased scale of this painting is a
compelling choice that enhances the painting overall as well as enhances the
lines of its primary subject. It makes a lovely accessory to all sorts of
decorative schemes and living spaces. If you would like to view more paintings
