About the Item

Modest in life—the artist signed quite discreetly with the initials GAC—but bold on the canvas. This abstract is easy to embrace, depending only on primary colors. (Remember those three?) The painter has deployed them as secondary players, while blending two into a commanding, sun-like orange ball. In the abstraction and palette, you might be reminded of the paintings by the renowned American sculptor Alexander Calder (1898-1976). Hang this opposite your bed as an unmissable reminder to get going, that your day is already underway.
