Gold Branch II

A vertical composition of restrained drama, Gold Branch II renders its subject in luminous enamel on canvas — a medium that lends the work an uncommon depth and a surface alive with quiet intensity. The proportions are deliberately slender, the height nearly double the width, inviting the eye to travel upward along branching forms that feel at once botanical and abstract. At thirty inches tall and fifteen wide, it occupies wall space with the authority of something far larger, a testament to John Richard's understanding that scale is as much about presence as dimension.
