Modern Abstract Floral Composition by Dale Haessly

This is an original contemporary abstract painting by the artist Dale Haessly, measuring 80x50cm. Executed in acrylic on canvas, the work features a dynamic composition of swirling, gestural lines in shades of lavender, violet, and silver-grey that suggest fluid movement or wind. Interspersed throughout the abstract background are stylized floral elements resembling bird of paradise blossoms or lilies, rendered in warm tones of orange, yellow, and green. The artist utilizes a gallery-wrapped canvas technique, meaning the painting continues around the edges, allowing for a modern presentation without a formal frame. The application of paint varies from thin, atmospheric glazes to textured, impasto-like brushstrokes, particularly visible in the white and silver highlights. The palette is a vibrant mix of cool purples and greens contrasted by a bright orange-red horizon line at the base. The piece appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible signs of cracking, peeling, or fading. It demonstrates a high level of expressive craftsmanship and a characteristic modern style typical of the late 20th to early 21st century.
