2023

About the Item

Artist Motivation: One of the newest urban, "Street Styled" Abstract Expressionism paintings by Michelle Thomas! Hang it anywhere - "Big City, Small Town" is rendered in a palette of neutral shades, that will fit perfectly in any room you choose. Its theme is deeply rooted in the exploration of contrasts, coexistence, and the dynamic interplay between urban vibrancy and rural tranquility. This artwork seeks to convey a visual and emotional narrative that celebrates the unique character of both bustling metropolises and serene small towns. Through the abstract expressionist approach, viewers are invited to engage with the dynamic brushstrokes and spirited composition that mirror the vibrant pulse of city life and the serene rhythms of small-town existence. The absence of a clear, defined representation allows each observer to interpret the painting in their unique way, fostering a personal connection with the message of coexistence, energy, and the celebration of the multifaceted beauty found in both big cities and small towns. "Big City, Small Town" is an ode to the vibrant energy and unique charm found in both the grandeur of a big city and the intimacy of a small town. Choice of colors: The choice of neutral shades, with added accents of gold, black and black, is deliberate and symbolic, representing the diversity of cityscapes and the subtle hues found in rural settings. From earthy tones that evoke the warmth of community to muted grays reminiscent of skyscrapers and urban infrastructure, each shade contributes to the harmonious balance between these seemingly disparate worlds. Medium: Acrylic paint and graphite on canvas. Size:  24” W x 48” H x 1.5” - sides have been finished to match the surface, to ensure visual consistency from all sides.   Hanging Recommendations: "Big City, Small Town" is stretched on gallery wrapped canvas. It was created on a 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas and will arrive ready to hang.  Signature: "Big City, Small Town" can be hung in four directions - painting has been signed on side profile to facilitate hanging flexibility. If you'd like the painting signed on the front surface, please send a request after purchasing the painting.
