Mauveine, oil and acrylic on canvas, 120 x 120 x 4 cm Due to its size, this artwork ships rolled in a tube. This is safer for the artwork in transit. Your local picture framers can re stretch the artwork to hang and frame. Mauvine grew from a fascination with the colour purple in all its richness and intensity. I wanted the orchids to feel as if they were emerging from a burst of colour rather than sitting quietly in a traditional still life. Layers of mauve, plum, violet and deep magenta spread across the surface with expressive drips, splashes and scattered petals, creating a sense of movement and energy. The orchids themselves become the calm within the chaos. Their elegant forms and twisting roots weave through the composition, anchoring the painting while the surrounding colour seems to bloom and scatter around them. I love the contrast between the delicate structure of the flowers and the wild, spontaneous marks that surround them. Painted in oil and acrylic on canvas, this piece celebrates orchids not just as flowers, but as sculptural forms full of character, colour and drama. It is a vibrant statement painting designed to bring colour, life and a little sense of wonder into a space. Show more
