Michael Forster
Celestial Sky

1990

About the Item

This remarkable painting evocative of the celestial universe is lovely in its texture, intensive brush work and lovely color palette. Forster who was Canadian, in his earlier years spent an extended period of time in Mexico. He moved in important artist circles there and was influenced by the Surrealist movement. In his own work he often did abstractions which seem to draw upon the conceptual beauty of the Universe and nature. The intricate brushwork in this piece is rhythmic, and painstakingly applied in reverberating patterns. It is in a goldfish tone 18 karat frame of modern profile and high quality. A lovely work to hold a commanding spot in a home!
