Modern Sails is a fantastically modern painting that will catch the attention of anyone who crosses its path and, undoubtedly, hold that attention as viewers feel compelled to explore the terrain of this endearing piece of contemporary art. This original canvas painting focuses a great deal on shape. The shapes that dominate this painting aren't just included for the sake of geometry, however, but create the subject matter seen here. Sails of boats are layered atop one another, reduced down to their most primitive geometry. These sails are each done in different, distinct colors so as to distinguish each from its counterparts. These colors include pink, orange, scarlet, yellow and red. The hulls of the boats are depicted in similarly bright colors that include fuchsia, orange, yellow and purple. These vibrant subjects sit atop of a very smooth sea in varying shades of blue, dappled with shadows that fall perfectly in line with the boats themselves. Where the sea meets the sky and the eye moves upwards, the colors deepen into a shade of midnight blue that is as voluptuous as velvet spread over the canvas. As must be evident by now, this painting is full of energy and color. As such, this original canvas painting makes a great addition to all sorts of spaces that need some added vitality and an expanded sense of color and shape. This painting's colors and subject matter make it a great addition to all sorts of living spaces, particularly public areas where the full of effect of Modern Sails can be felt and discussed.
The layout of Modern Sails is suitably contemporary for its subject matter, and creates an added focus on geometry and shape. The artist of this painting has used three separate canvas panels, identical in every way, to spread the subjects across. This design mirrors a traditional, single canvas one, while still maintaining a sense of modernity. The stark lines created between the gaps of each canvas contrast the arcing lines that create the shapes of the sale on the canvases themselves, as well as create a ninety degree angle with the horizon line.
