Vessel of Sunlight is a painting that perfectly marries naturalistic subjects and contemporary design to create an unforgettable piece work. Bringing a perfect balance of light and a permeating sense of tranquility into focus for the viewer, this unique piece of canvas artwork will have a profound and positive effect on any décor. Upon first glance what viewers will be impressed by is the realistic and fascinating portrayal of tree life in this painting. The trees spring up from opposite sides of the painting and move outwards from there. The artist has depicted both the branches above ground and the roots curling about themselves in what would be beneath the surface if we were not privy to such intimate detail. The trees are predictably light brown in color, but darker around certain tree branches and veiny roots to provide contour and a striking sense of dimensionality. Most interesting about Vessel of Sunlight, however, is the shapes the trees have been “pruned” into by the artist of this piece. There are two faces that have been created out of these meandering branches. Here, they are rendered in profile, their gazes and lips seemingly reaching for one another. On the left, the backward flowing branches of the tree start to suggest hair, indicating a woman. While the stolid, bald construction of the face on the left suggests a traditional form of masculinity. Thus, this piece has a hidden romantic and symbiotic meaning to be explored by the intellectual viewer. The background of this piece provides the right dose of passion to illuminate the subject matter, filling the negative space in shades of orange, red and yellow, with doses of white.
The layout of Vessel of Sunlight is a unique one that provides a perfect parallel between structure and content. This piece is made up of five separate canvas panels. The center panel is the largest, and in each direction the canvases shrink in size as they move outward. This creates an interesting shape when viewed from afar, and also perfectly imitates the design of the subjects painted onto the canvases. If you find that what mostly strongly resonates with you here are the natural elements, you may find many more paintings that suit your tastes in our
