An abstract work done with gesso and acrylic paint on wood panel, this mesmerizing work has an incredible depth and weight from the texture of the medium. Derick Smith has created an incredible series dedicated to these hypnotic swirls, a technique that is difficult to achieve, but once mastered creates a flow that is attractive and unique. The drips are controlled by the weight, as the colors stream, twist, and bend; the artist completes the look with a strong solid background to allow the focus of the piece to stand out on its own. A decoratively exciting piece that has you entranced and calmed with its use of a light pink background.
