Teng Fei's Gilded Canopy

Availability: 4-6 weeks

A nearly perfect square of ambitious scale, Teng Fei's Gilded Canopy arrives as both painting and object — oil on framed canvas suffused with a gold leaf finish that breathes quiet luminosity into any interior it inhabits. John Richard has long understood that great decorative art holds its own against architecture, and at just over four feet in each direction, this work commands a wall with unhurried authority. The depth of the frame lends a sculptural presence, allowing the gilded surface to shift with the light across the hours of a day.
