One Pearl Of Great Price. Contemporary Figurative Painting

2016

About the Item

One Pearl Of Great Price is part of the "When We Were Harlekings" collection. A pearl, unlike other gems, emerges as a perfect object and represents the true self. Through diligent seeking one may find this "Pearl of Great Price" and have to possess it, although its possession may involve sacrifice. This piece is Berlins' perfect gem & like the pearl was formed deep inside him. This heavy canvas has a muted pallette, offsetting the understated, shimmering opulence of the white gold in the piece.

Peonies in White Light - Oil Painting with 12K White Gold Leaf, Blond Female
By Michael Van Zeyl
Located in Chicago, IL
The blond figure, along with the floating peonies, combine to explore the dynamic between the eternal and the temporal, as well as our own relationship with nature. The gold leaf adds a three-dimensional softness as well as a glow upon which the female figure floats. Her skin is seductively painted; her teal dress falls off her shoulder; white peonies float by; the scene is set for a dreamy visual feast. The painting is framed in a gilt frame.
