Iceland Magma, 12x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Molten reds surge through fissures of glacial turquoise, translating Iceland’s raw geology into pigment. Henderson pours a frigid base—arctic blue mixed with a hint of titanium white—then injects a dense ribbon of cadmium scarlet down the center. As the warm paint forces its way outward, it fractures the cooler layer, creating jagged cracks that resemble lava tongues snaking beneath polar ice.
She heightens tension by misting alcohol over the hottest zones, causing small voids to bloom like steam vents across a frozen landscape. The opposing temperatures of color never fully reconcile; instead, they remain in dramatic dialogue, embodying a land where fire and ice continually negotiate dominion. The painting vibrates with tectonic energy, a snapshot of creation still in progress.
