“Touch of Gold” by Michał Lenartowicz is an expressive abstract painting in which gesture, contrast, and painterly material create a strong, almost dramatic visual tension. The composition is built on a cool range of grays, blues, and graphite tones, dynamically cut through by intense golden-yellow accents. Gold does not function as decoration here; it appears like energy in motion—a burst of light or an impulse slicing through the heavy, dense structure of the background. Its sharp, irregular forms contrast with the more diffused areas of the painting, intensifying the sense of force and movement. Powerful diagonal brush and palette-knife strokes give the work a dynamic, almost swirling character. Lines and patches seem to collide, creating tension between order and chaos. The surface is clearly multi-layered, suggesting a process of continuous revision—applying, scraping back, and revealing successive layers of paint. The painting may evoke associations with natural forces—a storm, an eruption, tectonic movement—or with inner conflict and transformation. Gold becomes a symbol of value, breakthrough, or a moment of intensity emerging from the grayness and strain of everyday experience. “Touch of Gold” is a work about energy and transition, one that has a powerful emotional impact. From a distance, it commands attention through color contrast and dynamism; up close, it reveals a rich texture and traces of gesture, characteristic of Lenartowicz’s mature and expressive painterly language. ---------------------------------------------------- Overall size: 160x110cm Size after strecher: 150x100cm 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.
