Joan Curtis' Enchanted

A commanding square canvas — sixty-one inches in each direction — that arrives with the quiet authority of a work that has earned its place on the wall. Joan Curtis' hand renders an enchanted world through a textured matte gel finish that catches and absorbs light in equal measure, lending the surface a dimensional intimacy rarely achieved at this scale. From the John Richard collection, it speaks to the collector who understands that great art does not decorate a room so much as define it.
