Abstract Acrylic Pour Painting by Heather Dixon

This is a new 12x36 galley-wrapped, deed-edge acrylic painting created by artist Heather Dixon. The artwork features an abstract composition characterized by a dynamic, sinuous form of swirling colors against a clean white background. The primary colors employed are various shades of blue, ranging from deep sapphire to lighter, almost translucent aquamarine, interspersed with hints of metallic silver, white, and subtle earthy brown or bronze tones, creating a sense of depth and movement. The technique, often referred to as an acrylic pour or fluid art, results in organic, feather-like, and cellular patterns where the colors blend and separate in unpredictable ways. The form itself suggests a wave, a plume, or perhaps an organic growth, tapering and widening as it ascends and descends the canvas in an 'S' curve. The 'deed edge' refers to the continuation of the painting around the sides of the canvas, eliminating the need for a frame. The canvas is a typical rectangular, stretched canvas, likely cotton or linen blend, sized at 12 inches in width by 36 inches in height. The 'galley wrapped' description indicates that the canvas staples are on the back, providing a clean display edge. The painting appears to be in excellent, new condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or repairs. The fluid application of paint showcases a high degree of craftsmanship inherent in successful pour painting, with interesting cell formations and harmonious color interaction. The style is contemporary abstract, likely from the early 21st century given the 'new' context and the popularity of fluid art techniques.
