Klimt, 12x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
Here, Henderson tips her hat to Gustav Klimt without imitation. She begins with a lavish pour of metallic gold, letting it pool and crease like crumpled foil. Over this, she drizzles emerald and umber in thin, erratic lines that break the gilded field into mosaic shards. Where colors meet, surface tension draws delicate concentric rings—organic counterparts to Klimt’s ornamental patterns.
In the upper quadrant, a translucent wash of smoky lavender tempers the opulence, much as Klimt often balanced gold leaf with muted flesh tones. The push-and-pull between exuberant sparkle and quiet shadow invites contemplation of luxury’s dual nature: dazzling yet ephemeral, celebratory yet sobering. Standing before the work, viewers may sense both the Vienna Secession’s sumptuous spirit and Henderson’s own modern restraint.
