About the Item
An arresting large-scale abstract composition by contemporary artist Louis Shields, "Shadow Fires," is part of his Singed Millennium Series created in 2017. This work captures a delicate tension between architectural order and elemental chaos, rendered in a layered tapestry of whites, soft grays, and ember-like bursts of orange and ochre.
Shields' technique involves a richly textured surface built through mixed media, likely a combination of acrylic, plaster, and graphite. This creates a tactile grid of raised forms and incised lines, almost flame-like interruptions of warm pigment, evoking both flickers of memory and the seared edges of something once whole. The composition's fractured rhythm suggests ruins, blueprints, or maps, haunted and illuminated from within.
At once cerebral and emotive, "Shadow Fires" speaks to themes of fragmentation, resilience, and time. A compelling statement piece for collectors of modern abstraction, this work invites quiet contemplation from across the room and intimate inspection up close.
