Description from the seller
An Impressionistic Celebration of Color and Form
This vibrant, original painting, "Peonies in a Chinese Vase," is a stunning example of Kirsty Wain's expressive use of color and bold, dynamic brushwork. Executed in high-quality acrylics on paper, this piece captures the lush, abundant beauty of a bouquet of deep pink and crimson peonies, rendered with an exhilarating, post-impressionistic flair.
Key Features and Style
Subject: A generous arrangement of Peonies in full bloom, presented in a beautifully patterned, traditional blue and white Chinese-style vase.
Palette: The artwork features a striking contrast between the intense, saturated magentas and reds of the blossoms and the cool, serene light blues and whites of the background and vase. A warm, reddish-maroon tabletop anchors the composition.
Style: Wain employs a thick, immediate application of paint, reminiscent of Fauvism and Post-Impressionism. The forms are simplified but retain an undeniable energy and vitality. The yellow-ochre centers of the flowers provide bright focal points, drawing the eye across the canvas.
Impact: This piece radiates joy, warmth, and vitality. It is a perfect addition to a collector seeking a statement floral work that brings a burst of sophisticated color to any room.
Kirsty Wain is known for her enthusiastic and painterly approach to still life and landscape subjects. Her work is characterized by a confident hand and a fearless embrace of color, creating pieces that are both emotionally resonant and visually striking.
Provenance: Directly acquired from the artist's studio.
A Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by Kirsty Wain will be included.
Shipping: The painting will be professionally packaged, insured, and shipped flat or carefully rolled in a sturdy art tube (depending on buyer location and preference) to guarantee its safe arrival.
