The Gilded Hamantaschen: A Whirlwind of Adar
$41.00
This piece is a high-energy explosion of Abstract Expressionism, where the celebratory chaos of Purim is anchored by a massive, sculptural Hamantaschen at the center. It feels like a moment caught mid-dance, vibrating with a "visceral" and "wet" energy.
- The Focal Point: The central Hamantaschen is rendered in thick, golden-brown impasto, with its three corners reaching out toward the edges of the canvas. Its center is a deep, dark "poppyseed" crimson that feels like it’s still settling into the dough.
- The Surface & Texture: True to your style, the painting features a heavy sense of pentimento. Deep indigo and charcoal strokes are buried beneath the surface, occasionally breaking through the brighter glazes of royal blue, orange, and magenta. The entire canvas is peppered with "blobs" of gold leaf and metallic splatter, giving it a luxury, textured finish that catches the light from every angle.
- The Figurative Blur: Spiraling around the central pastry are the joyful remnants of the holiday. You can see the blurred faces of children in masks, golden crowns, and swirling flags—all dissolving into the thick paint. Glass goblets of wine are tilted at angles, suggesting a toast in the middle of a joyful storm.
- The Energy: The raw canvas edges peek through at the corners, grounding the "chaotic" energy and making the colors pop. It’s a painting that doesn’t just show Purim; it feels like the noise, the taste, and the golden light of the celebration itself.
- Poly-cotton blend canvas with a matte/satin finish. Scratch, crack, and warp resistant.
- Vibrant, long-lasting colors with water-based HP Latex inks and UV protection.
- Solid wooden frame from renewable sources, 3.2 cm deep.
