Dorothy Dunn

Jazz and Red Wine, Abstract Painting

2021

Artist Comments
"Music and wine soothe the soul, jazz is free to interpretation as is art," says artist Dorothy Dunn of her inspiration for this modern abstract. "Negative space is highlighted in the piece, creating an evocative relationship between the poured color and stark white. I created this painting by using multiple raw and controlled pours of transparent and saturated acrylic paint to achieve layered depth and interest."

About the Artist
From childhood on, Dorothy was always eager about painting. Her grandfather encouraged her to graduate from a finger-painting enthusiast to a more mature and serious artist. Dorothy’s approach to her abstract artwork entails pouring paint in transparent layers to create sweeping colors across the canvas. Regardless, she manages to stay true to her childhood roots: “To this day, my clothes and hands always reflect the colors I am working with,” says Dorothy. “And I once again rediscovered the joys of finger-painting with my children!”
