Story / Additional Info"Photographs do not fully justify the actual beauty and presence of this subtle yet colorful painting. It is inspired by music capturing the fleeting moments of cascading rhythms of ephemeral melodies, expressed in paint. Although large in scale, it is created with subtle intricate textural details of pointillist-style "dots" of colors in minute details, as the mark-making gradually cascades downwards towards the contrasting subtle background rendered in grey. This luminous work glows under natural or indoor lighting situations."
