About the Item

“Disobedience” is a striking large-scale acrylic painting that turns restraint into a powerful act of defiance. Using a bold black-and-white palette and expansive negative space, Michelle Thomas creates a piece that is both minimal and emotionally charged — an invitation to pause, reflect, and confront the quiet power of resistance. At 30″ W × 40″ H × 1.5″ D, this work commands attention through contrast, balance, and an arresting sense of stillness. What Kind of Piece Is This?: A contemporary abstract painting where each gesture feels intentional. Stark black shapes slice across luminous white, allowing unpainted space to carry as much weight as the brushstrokes themselves. The composition invites viewers to lean in, engaging with the tension between emptiness and presence. What Makes It Special?: Minimalist Strength: Demonstrates that rebellion can be quiet — yet uncompromisingly bold. Pure Acrylic Medium: Layers of carefully applied acrylic create smooth fields of color and crisp edges for maximum visual impact. Architectural Presence: Its square format and clean design make it an anchor piece for modern spaces. Emotional Resonance: The title frames the work as a meditation on autonomy, choice, and the art of refusing to conform. Important Details for Collectors? Medium: Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas (edges painted for continuity) Dimensions: 48″ W × 48″ H × 1.5″ D Finish: Gallery wrap with painted sides; includes complimentary floater frame (black or white recommended) Condition: New, signed artwork; ready to hang with included hardware Ideal For: Collectors of minimalist and monochrome contemporary art Interiors (modern, industrial, Japandi, Scandinavian) that celebrate clean lines and negative space Spaces that benefit from a single, commanding focal point Viewers who appreciate art that challenges conformity with subtlety and precision About the Artist: Michelle Thomas is an award-winning contemporary abstract artist with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA). Known for her bold compositions and sophisticated sense of color, Thomas creates works that balance movement, emotion, and intentional restraint. “Disobedience” exemplifies her ability to transform simplicity into a powerful visual and emotional experience, offering collectors a timeless and thought-provoking centerpiece.
