FINDING PARADISE

Finding Paradise is a bold, dynamic, abstract painting that exudes energy and movement. The composition features vibrant, crisscrossing strokes of blue, yellow, and green that leap off a bright red background, creating a dramatic contrast that captivates the viewer. Each colour pops from the canvas, blending yet standing apart in harmonious chaos. The interplay of the bold hues and the textured application of paint infuses the work with tremendous vitality, inviting the viewer into a vibrant, expressive world.

This striking artwork is enclosed in a custom-made, handcrafted hardwood frame designed by Troy Smith. The frame was meticulously crafted in his studio, with each piece of wood hand-cut, sanded, and seamlessly fit together. Finished with a champagne metallic gold gilding paint, the frame adds a luxurious yet modern touch to the piece. Its detailed construction and sleek design elevate the overall impact of Finding Paradise, serving not just as a border but as an integral part of the artwork’s presentation.

The juxtaposition of the contemporary gilt frame with the ultra-modern abstract expressionism of the painting creates a distinctive aesthetic. The shimmering gold frame brings out the vibrancy of the colours within the painting, while the modern craftsmanship complements the abstract, free-flowing energy of the composition. The fusion of these elements—dynamic colour, bold brushwork, and an intricately designed frame—makes Finding Paradise a statement piece that commands attention and invites contemplation.
