“Touch of Gold” by Michał Lenartowicz is a dynamic abstract work in which color contrast and layered materiality create intense visual and emotional tension. The painting is built around deep, saturated blues and cobalts, punctuated by golden–ochre accents and black. Gold does not dominate the surface; instead, it appears fragmentarily—like traces of energy or light emerging from the cool, dense structure of the background. This chromatic contrast gives the composition pulse and rhythm, guiding the viewer’s eye across the wide, horizontal plane. Distinctive features include multiple layers of paint, vertical drips, palette-knife marks, and areas of abrasion, all of which emphasize the process-driven nature of the work. The surface appears repeatedly modified—built up and broken down—creating the impression of a record of time and gesture, rather than a single, isolated painterly act. A balance is maintained between compositional control and spontaneous action. Despite its apparent chaos, the painting retains inner coherence. The golden passages act as points of reference, stabilizing the dynamic fields of blue and black. One may sense associations with an urban landscape, reflections of light on water, or industrial structures, yet these remain intuitive and non-literal. “Touch of Gold” is a painting about energy and value—about moments of intensity that break through dense, complex layers of experience. From a distance it commands attention with the power of its color; up close it rewards prolonged contemplation with a richness of detail, embodying Lenartowicz’s mature and recognizable painterly language. ---------------------------------------------------- Overall size: 110x160cm Size after strecher: 100x150cm The painting is signed on the back of the canvas Photos of the painting with the frame are for reference only Due to the size of the painting, the canvas will shipped rolled up.
