Swen Van der Sangen - Dancing Chaos 1/3 with 22krt Gold Leaf and Black Wood Frame

Dancing Chaos 1/3 with 22krt Gold Leaf and Black Wood Frame

Dancing Chaos is a vibrant and expressive artwork that balances structure and spontaneity, elegance and raw energy. Measuring 60 × 80 cm, this piece captures movement through contrast, texture, and light.

Set against a clean white background, bold black lines form an organic, flowing shape that anchors the composition. Within this dynamic form, two large sections are richly adorned with 22-karat gold leaf, creating a striking focal point. The gold surfaces shimmer and transform with changing light, especially in the evening, lending the artwork a playful yet timeless character.

Surrounding and intersecting the central form are coarse paisley-inspired motifs and chaotically placed acrylic splatters in tones of beige, gold, green, and orange. These splashes introduce rhythm and unpredictability, reinforcing the sense of motion suggested by the title. The contrast between the controlled black contours and the free, expressive splatters creates a lively visual tension.

The artwork is finished with a black wooden shadow box frame, enhancing depth and presence, and is subtly signed with a gold-colored logo plate, adding a refined and distinctive detail.

Dancing Chaos is a bold yet elegant statement piece. A celebration of controlled disorder, light, and material richness, designed to energize any contemporary interior while remaining timeless in its appeal.

A graduate of the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts (2014), Swen Van der Sangen combines his background in luxury fashion and design with fine art craftsmanship. His work is characterized by precision, refined material use, and an emotional sensitivity to light, texture, and form.

Dancing Chaos is more than an artwork. It is a delicate golden moment. Playful, elegant, and timeless. Designed to bring warmth and joy into any space.
