Allegro, 18x24 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Like a brisk musical movement, Allegro pulses with kinetic energy. Streams of scarlet, cobalt, and gilt race across the canvas, their directional thrusts reminiscent of notes leaping along a staff. Each pour layer is deliberately timed—Henderson tilts and torques the surface so that colors overtake, interplay, and briefly harmonize before separating again, much as orchestral voices unite then diverge.
The result feels both improvisational and precise. Lacy cells sparkle like cymbal hits, while sweeping arcs echo violin flourishes, inviting viewers to “hear” the painting as much as see it. Beneath the exuberance lies a structural intelligence: subtle graphite wisps temper the brightness, ensuring the eye travels rhythmically rather than chaotically. Allegro becomes an abstract score, celebrating the joy of forward motion.
