About the Item
A compelling work from Louis Shields' celebrated Structural Series, "Sorcery" is a powerful abstract composition that merges gestural geometry with elemental texture. Created in 2017, this mixed-media painting draws the eye with deep indigo blues, earthy tan and gray tones, and shimmering blends of copper leaf that cut across the composition like alchemical incantations.
Constructed on canvas using a layered approach, Shields employs a combination of acrylic paint and metallic foil to build dimension and visual rhythm. The precise, angular lines paired with irregular planes and raw edges create a dynamic architectural presence, balanced by a sensuality of color and surface. The result evokes a sense of structure unraveling or reforming, as though caught in the act of transformation.
This piece reflects the artist's continued exploration of abstract space, materiality, and the interplay between control and intuition. Titled "Sorcery," it pulses with a quiet mysticism, conjuring both the physical and metaphysical in equal measure.
Signed and dated by the artist on verso.
