Shatter, 9x12 Original Fluid Acrylic on Gallery‑Wrapped Canvas (Unframed, Finished Edges) – Embrace the Unknown Series – Theresa Henderson (2022)
$0.00
A single, forceful pour ignites Shatter with the drama of glass mid-break. Henderson begins by flooding the panel with opposing pools of ruby and obsidian, then jerks the surface—once—along a diagonal axis. That sudden gesture drives rivulets of crimson through wet black, freezing radial fissures much like a windshield struck by stone. Metallic scarlet cells halo each fracture, their brightness emphasizing the violence of impact.
Yet amid the chaos, order resurfaces. At the painting’s core a triangular pocket of calm gray emerges where pigments cancel one another, offering a surprising sense of stillness. Henderson lingers there with a fine needle tool, coaxing minute threads to reconnect the severed color fields. The result is a meditation on rupture and repair: beauty flowering precisely where things fall apart.
