a) Title: Birch Spectrum Looking Up 1
b) Medium: Original acrylic on canvas. The medium is applied with remarkable generosity, allowing the synthetic brilliance of the acrylics to hold their shape and intensity.
c) Dimensions: 48 inches (height) x 36 inches (width).
d) Colour Palette: A true “spectrum” of vivid, jewel-toned colours. The canopy explodes with radiant reds, deep blues, fiery oranges, and lush greens, all of which are sharply contrasted by the striking white and deep black horizontal striations of the birch trunks.
e) Technique: Executed using a rich, heavy impasto technique. The artist applies thick, sculptural layers of paint to the canvas, often utilizing palette knives to build a highly textured, three-dimensional surface that physically catches the ambient light in the room.
f) Placement Suggestions: With its large 48×36 scale and energetic verticality, this piece is ideal for anchoring a modern living room or bringing life to an expansive dining area. It also serves as a brilliant focal point in a corporate office or lobby to inspire creativity, and would make an unforgettable, high-impact gift for fine art enthusiasts who have a deep appreciation for nature-inspired contemporary works.
