Description
Transition II – three red crowns before the light
Wall art veils three slim trees with deep red crowns in front of a large bright opening at the centre of the canvas, where brown, grey and ochre gather into a ring — abstract painting wearing a wood as a disguise.
Technique and texture
The ground is built in several thin partly wiped layers, so the transitions stay soft and there is no hard border anywhere. The crowns are dabbed on with a small brush in two shades of red and remain transparent at their edges. The trunks were pulled in one stroke each and branch into hair-thin twigs near the top.
The motif
The trees are of three different heights and lean slightly aside, as though bent by weather. The bright opening behind them is the lightest place on the canvas and is what gives the scene its depth. Small birds in the distance are barely visible and push the whole further back.
Setting and placement
Earth tones with a single dark red accent live easily beside timber, leather and natural cloth. Hung low and read from a seat rather than from a doorway, it gives up more of its wiped layers the closer you are.
