Ember Tide, Blue Spirals Over Fiery Ripples

Contemporary Abstract & Mixed Media · horizontal

A vividly colored abstract in which blue swirls and spiral shapes sit above a wavy field of yellow, orange and dark red. Green and yellow branching forms reach in from the left and right edges, and a pale white-blue streak glows at the top center. The surface looks glossy and liquid, as though the colors are melting into one another.

A collector wants this piece for the way it stops you from across the room: three blue spirals hang in a cool band above a rippling field of yellow, orange and deep red that reads like a fiery reflection in water. It is colour-led, glossy and luminous. It also hints at a landscape without being one, so the eye keeps moving between sky, water and pure swirling colour. Most blue-and-orange abstracts are a single wash or a few blobs. This one has a clear structure: cool above, hot below, a dark line between, and three whorls to land on.
