Description
Golden Burst – a gold core among cold fields
Painting on canvas ignites a dense gold and ochre burst in the middle of an upright canvas and throws thin threads of colour out of it in every direction — abstract painting built as one event surrounded by quiet.
Technique and texture
The core is the thickest place on the canvas, paint heaped into lumps with deep gaps left between them. Long thin threads were drawn out of it with a narrow tool and thin toward the edges into single drops. The surrounding fields are the opposite: licked smooth, with no trace of a tool anywhere.
The motif
The burst is not centred but set a little to the left and downward, which keeps the composition under tension. A cold grey-violet field lies to the left of the core and a pale yellow and light blue to the right. The cold fields behave as still surroundings for the event spreading into them. A white plane at the foot is where the movement comes to a stop, softened by mint green.
Setting and placement
The contrast between a dense core and empty fields means this one needs clear space around it rather than neighbours. Beside a tall piece of furniture, or on a stretch of wall with nothing else on it, the upright crop comes into its own.

Golden Burst: sizes, stretcher and delivery
Golden Burst comes in 15 upright sizes, from 40 x 65 to 180 x 290 cm. The dense gold and ochre core with its flung threads wants open wall around it: between two windows choose 60 x 95 cm, and above a 120 cm console take 80 x 130 cm, which covers about two thirds of its width. For a stairwell choose 100 x 160 cm, and a double-height wall takes 140 x 215 cm.
Golden Burst in 140 x 215 cm is delivered in 6 days, every other size in 15–45 days. Choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas with the gold core arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for Golden Burst the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. The first photograph shows the painting in a silver-gold frame above a grey corner sofa, and the second photograph shows it on a workbench in the workshop. The heaped core is hand-painted, so Golden Burst is not a print.
