Dyann Gunter's Near Dusk

A commanding horizontal canvas by Dyann Gunter, *Near Dusk* arrests the eye with the atmospheric tension that defines the transitional hour its title invokes. Rendered in enamel, the work carries a luminous, surface-deep quality that shifts with the light of the room, lending it an almost architectural presence across its generous sixty-one-inch span. From the John Richard collection, it speaks to the considered collector who understands that art is not ornament but the organizing force of a well-composed interior.
