Art, Curled: Ornate Red and Green Lettering

The word "art" is spelled in curvy, ornate lowercase letters with spiral flourishes. Each letter is filled with saturated red and bubbly green abstract imagery, and the middle 'r' glows with white, yellow and pink. The letters are cut out against a plain white background.

A collector wants this because it is the word 'art' turned into something to look into. Curling, ornate lowercase letters are filled with glossy red and bubbly green imagery, and the middle 'r' glows white, yellow and pink. Most word art is flat type on a plain field. Here every letter has its own surface and light. The mirrored, kaleidoscope-like patterns in the 'r' and 't' reward a closer look. It suits someone who loves art enough to hang the word itself and wants it to be rich, playful and a little unexpected.
