About the Item

Vicissitudes, Original Contemporary Blue Orange and Yellow Abstract Painting 42" x 42" x 1.5" (HxWxD) Oil and Cold Wax on Panel This large, square-format work by artist Denise Presnell brings a large dose of color and abstraction into any room its placed in. Above a couch or fireplace as a focal piece, this colorful panel features a vibrant cerulean blue, neon yellow and green, and bold orange. There is an energy and mystery to the composition, giving the work a refreshing and powerful quality. By combining large sections of color that overlap one another with smaller dots of color, Presnell has created a complex composition that moves the viewer's eyes around. The "drips" of color appear to be wax reliefs, possibly having been painted first with initial washes of color, covered with cold wax, and then painted over with the larger swaths of color. Upon removal of the wax, the initial colors are exposed, just as the process works with batik fabrics. Artist Commentary: Vicissitudes are contrasting elements. The contrast here is in the greens and oranges. About the Artist: Denise Presnell is a painter/mixed media artist currently living and working in Sheboygan, WI.
