Snakes
Descriptions:
Snakes by Chris Macauley is an original oil on canvas measuring 47.24 × 29.92 inches. Soft petals in vivid magenta appear to hover within a layered forest of greens and shadow, their forms gently leaning as if guided by an unseen current of light.
The composition captures the delicate tension between fragility and resilience, where each bloom bends without breaking. Subtle brushwork and diffused textures create an atmosphere of quiet movement, evoking the rhythm of nature at dusk when colors deepen and edges soften. This work invites contemplation and offers collectors a striking balance of elegance and controlled energy, bringing the vitality of the natural world into any space.

About The Artwork
expand_more
At the bottom of the garden just outside the artists studio grow the flowers Known as Snakes Head Fritillaries, these have a uniquely geometric pattern (back lit by the sun) that seems at odds with their organic nature. The Abstract quality of the garden undergrowth enables the artist to play with compositional ideas and place the flowers where necessary to create the bast dynamic for the painting.

About

Artists Statement
Expressing light through color and the arrangement of form are as important as the representation of the scene. Chris Macauley is not a subject specific painter. Whether he is working on still life, portraiture or landscape, he is always trying to discover what the painting is about; the object matter is not really the subject matter.
