Description:
Produced in cooperation with dancer Natalie Laruccia (Thanks Natalie).
In their powerfully expressive and intimate Latin dance, the Argentinian dancers display the Temptation of Tango under the moody lighting...
Painted entirely with a knife, a limited colour palette and mixing & blending only on the canvas, 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.
Contact myself for more information about this beautiful work of art, or if you would like to purchase it. Obviously, the quality of the original painting and prints is much better than displayed here, though if you wish to make a closer inspection, please let me know of any specific area you're interested in and I'll e mail a higher resolution image to you.
