For any art fan that is also enamored by the natural world, particular those exotic landscapes and animals that reside across the globe and hold such fascination, Terra Cotta Tiles astound and invigorate. This original canvas painting showcases, through a series of canvas “tiles” a number of nature's, and more specifically, Africa's, most cherished and majestic flora and fauna. Interspersed between depictions of beautiful animals and towering trees are a rich series of patterns that create new depths and meaning for the piece overall. Some of the animals showcased in this phenomenal piece of artwork are giraffes, elephants, lizards and butterflies. All of the animal subjects are depicted with spare details, focusing rather on the outlines of the animals, their majestic silhouettes standing out starkly against luminous and bold background colors. Some of these colors include yellow, orange and black. The other organic subject matter depicted here includes one marvelous tree, a shell, and a flower. All of these subjects are depicted in a golden hue. The paint used for these subjects is thick, and creates texture on the otherwise smooth tiles. The backgrounds of these pieces are all black, allowing the subjects to radiate magnificently. The other tiles are reserved for patterns that range from circles with a million smaller circles around them like satellites, to images that seem to imitate the sun, to frenetic lines to spackled tiles that seem to be there just to add texture. These panels integrate more colors into Terra Cotta Tiles including red, orange, and brown. The overall impression created by the synergy of all of these elements is one of profound beauty, of poetry praising the natural world and the beings found within it. This painting, due to its limited but versatile color palette, and cherished, somewhat traditional subject matter, is easy to incorporate into all sorts of living and working spaces, and will likely resonate with viewers of all kinds who encounter it.
The design of Terra Cotta Tiles is a most interesting one. This painting is comprised of sixteen different canvas pieces, all perfectly square and of the same size. These tiles, when viewed from afar, give the impression of being a single, large canvas, yet have a wonderful effect when viewed up close and individually. If you enjoy the design, subject matter and general feel of this amazing piece of art, you may want to take a bit of time to view the other pieces available for purchase in our
