Ocean Lights - Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Canvas
Bold abstract composition by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). The background of this piece is various shades of blue, swirled and dripped in an expressive manner. Bright red and neon yellow-green have been added over the top, creating strong visual contrast.
Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
No frame.
Canvas size: 30"H x 40"W
Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution."
