Galaxy of Light, Abstract Painting

2022

Artist Comments
A vibrant and energetic abstract in hues of red, orange, and white with cooling tones of turquoise and blue by artist Alicia Dunn. Layers and layers of color dance on the canvas flowing harmoniously in one direction. It results in a sophisticated painting that appears minimal at first glance but draws the viewer in, to marvel at its complexity.

About the Artist
Alicia Dunn’s abstract paintings are affected by a confluence of elements: the weather, her mood, and the properties of her materials. “Ceding control to these things allows the magic to happen,” the artist explains. Alicia's paintings capture the unique energy of nature, particularly that of the beach where she lives. Staring into the tranquil and luminous colors of her work, the viewer connects to shape of the waves, the swiftness of the wind, and the beginning of a day. Alicia is inspired by the simple things in life. Her awe of nature’s perfection and the thrill of constant discovery are conveyed in her art. Alicia works in water-based acrylic paint, and has developed a technique using blending gels to achieve not only rich color and texture, but also an eroded, weathered effect that reflects the process of the painting’s creation. Like nature itself, each painting shifts with the viewer, chronicling time through movement and beauty.
