Harlequin Artichokes

In this vibrant acrylic painting on stretched canvas, fantastical artichoke-like flowers bloom in bold primary colours, standing out dramatically against a muted grey-green background. The stylised blooms, rendered with imaginative flair, burst with energy and form, their rich reds, blues, and yellows creating a joyful visual rhythm. The subdued backdrop allows the vivid colours to shine, enhancing the contrast and bringing a sense of depth and focus to the composition. This imaginative piece plays with natural forms through an abstract lens, offering a celebration of colour, contrast, and creativity in a whimsical botanical world. This artwork started life using a technique whereby a canvas wet with white acrylic paint was impressed into crumpled aluminium foil onto which primary coloured pouring acrylics had been dripped. This result then suggested this image to me. A video detailing the process can be found here.
