Citrus on Crimson: Study II is a sophisticated original work from Kirsty Wain’s early 2026 series. This piece is a deliberate exploration of color theory and spatial harmony, focusing on the vibrant energy of the Mediterranean domestic landscape. Artistic Vision & Style: In this study, Wain engages in a modern dialogue with Fauvism. Much like Matisse, she treats color as a structural force. The deep "Crimson" of the tabletop serves as a high-intensity stage for the luminous, acidic yellows and oranges of the fruit. By designating this a "Study," the artist highlights a focused investigation into how warm and cool tones interact, specifically the way the teal patterns provide a refreshing visual counterpoint to the heat of the red. The work is characterized by a "controlled spontaneity." The brushstrokes are confident and visible, celebrating the texture of the acrylic on paper. While the flattened perspective pays homage to early 20th-century modernism, the loose, atmospheric background and the artist’s individual gestural marks ensure the piece feels fresh and contemporary.
