GILDED TRAILS

The artwork consists of a two panel painting, featuring an abstract design in a limited color palette predominantly of gold and black. The texture and the thick application of paint can be seen across the panels, suggesting an impasto technique which adds a tactile, three-dimensional quality to the work. In terms of color composition, broad horizontal bands of gold are contrasted against a black background, creating a striking visual impact. Each panel aligns with its neighbors to continue the bands and abstract shapes across the entire composition, implying movement and a sense of unity among the separate canvases. Dynamic black lines sweep across the panels, with a thick, wavy line crossing the left two panels and a series of dots and thin streaks traversing the right two. Splatters and drips of gold paint cross over the black sections, adding spontaneity and a gestural quality to the work. The artwork’s abstract nature leaves its interpretation open to the viewer, allowing for many possible readings of its form and imagery.
