Description:
Produced in cooperation with Ilknur Erdir and Ekin Cangal (Thanks Ilknur and Ekin)
In Tchaikovsy's Nutcracker Ballet, the sinuous belly dancer Arabian Coffee Awakes to perform for Clara in the Kingdom of the sugar plum fairy, as performed by ballerina Ekin Cangal...
Painted entirely with a knife. A high level of contrast is provided and the colours made extremely rich, bold and lustrous, thus creating a very contemporary feel overall.
It's a large, very dramatic, passionate, emotive, moody and atmospheric figurative dance painting that would not look out of place as a feature in a lounge, study, office, music room, conservatory, bedroom, hall, landing or similar room and be a focal point to be proud of.
This painting will be supplied framed in a heavy, high quality Arqadia frame. Contact me for details.
