Fade To Glory
This original abstract expressionist painting, titled 'Fade To Glory', is executed in a mixed media of acrylic and acrylic gouache on a 18" x 24" canvas. The composition features a vibrant, multi-layered color palette dominated by deep navy blue at the base, transitioning through ochre and olive greens to a rich, atmospheric red and salmon-pink field at the top. The work is characterized by aggressive, gestural mark-making, including broad palette knife applications, splatters, and delicate linear sgraffito that cuts through the top layers of pigment to reveal underlying colors. The heavy impasto and varied textures suggest a high level of physical engagement with the medium. While no specific maker's mark is visible on the face, the quality of craftsmanship is evident in the complex layering and balanced movements of light and dark. The piece appears to be in excellent contemporary condition with no visible signs of cracking, fading, or surface damage. Its style is indicative of modern contemporary abstraction, likely produced in the 21st century, focusing on the interplay of color field theory and energetic action painting.
