Thomas Hazelhurst's Small Pristine Petals

A composed study in botanical quietude, Thomas Hazelhurst's Small Pristine Petals arrives as a generously scaled framed canvas whose dimensions — nearly five feet tall and five feet wide — command a wall with the authority of a considered architectural gesture. The surface is finished in gold leaf and silver leaf, lending the work a luminous, almost ceremonial quality that shifts with the ambient light of a room. From John Richard's eponymous collection, this piece bridges the painterly and the decorative with the ease of something that has always belonged exactly where it is placed.
