Noboru £725

Audio Description

Description

This mixed media collage on stretched canvas presents a vibrant and layered visual composition that feels both organic and dynamic. The collage uses soft yet lively hues — pinks, peaches, olive greens, mustards, yellows and golds. The collage combines elements such as paper fragments, newspaper clippings, and painted textures, to create a sense of motion and growth and to create a sense of depth.  The translucent layering of colours creates a luminous effect, giving the impression of light filtering through leaves or petals. The variegated gold roundels in the centre capture the light and look different at different angles and under different lights. The oval and petal-like forms radiate outward from the centre, suggesting an upward or blooming motion — fitting for the title Noboru, which means 'to rise' or 'to ascend' in Japanese. This sense of movement evokes themes of growth, renewal, or transcendence. The collage blends the abstract and natural to create an uplifting and harmonious mood, as if capturing a moment of flourishing life or spiritual emergence.

This picture is supplied varnished with an ultraviolet light-protective varnish which protects against fading and discolouration with time. It is supplied complete with a 1 cm gold wooden floating frame. These frames are like shallow boxes or trays in which the picture is mounted with a 3-4 mm 'shadow gap' between the frame and picture. The pictures are affixed using velcro so can be repositioned within the frame or removed to flush mount the frame on a wall. The artwork is supplied ready to hang with D-rings and cord. It comes complete with a certificate of authenticity. .
