Description

Merg 01
Mixed media on canvas, framed

A richly textured abstract composition dominated by deep umber, black, and burnished gold, torn through by vivid streaks of crimson and vermilion. Loose, gestural brushwork builds vertical bands of colour that shift between opacity and translucency, evoking scorched wood or weathered stone. Sharp accents of white and pale gold puncture the darker passages like flickers of light, while a warm golden field at the upper and lower registers offers moments of calm against the painting’s more turbulent centre. The work’s rough, tactile surface and smouldering palette suggest heat, erosion, and transformation — a study in contrast between fire and shadow.
