Shaye Rawson's Small Feathers B

A slender, vertical composition, Shaye Rawson's Small Feathers B by John Richard commands the wall with the quiet authority of a work conceived as much for architecture as for art. The framed canvas is finished in silver leaf and gold leaf against a gloss ground, lending the surface a luminous, almost atmospheric depth that shifts with the light across the day. At over six feet in height and just over two feet in width, the piece is proportioned for the tall, considered interior — the kind of work that defines a wall rather than merely adorning it.
