The Texture of Color

18x24 canvas

I ventured into an abstract exploration where the usual perceptions of color and texture are playfully subverted. The piece prominently features a color that appears brown at first glance but, upon closer inspection, reveals a rich, complex maroon. This maroon serves as a foundation for an array of textures, each contributing its own voice and vibrancy to the composition. In this imagined world, textures dictate color—the rough becomes a vivid crimson, the smooth transitions into a soft gold, and the undulating surfaces morph into shades of deep green and burnt orange. The artwork becomes a tactile landscape, challenging viewers to see beyond the surface, where the maroon isn't just brown but a gateway to a multitude of interpretations and sensations. This piece invites you into an abstract realm where the visual experience is intertwined with the tactile, and color is an adventure waiting to be unraveled.
