About the artwork
Chums J reconsiders emotions through her enthralling paintings. She delivers her expression of thought through semi-abstract forms produced through the masterful use of thick impasto, and her technique is not fixed within reason, but rather she allows her sense of harmony and emotion guide her craft. In this work the vivid red of the flower petals coalesces with rustic earth tones, creating a captivating visual contrast. Thin Bold lines define and separate forms, guiding the viewer’s eye across the canvas. The artist’s use of impasto enables the red flowers to advance towards the viewer, and produces a fascinating visual texture that draws viewers into the work.
