Wall Garden at Bagatelle
2019
This painting was painted in situ not far from my studio. I used the actual plants as a departure point, but as the piece progressed, it became more and more imaginary. The S composition, grounded by stiff linear leavings shooting downward juxtaposed with an evanescent background in the upper part of the canvas gives a bouquet-like impression, finishing with a thick branch of vermillion roses falling across the piece providing bold contrast.
