Chroma by Paul McLachlan

Limited edition of 10

"Chroma" captures the simplicity of poppies in a glass vase, characterized by layered colours and distinct divisions reminiscent of the colour separations in pop art lithography. Dominated by blues and oranges, sporadic silver accents subtly catch the light. The work is distinctly painterly, emphasizing confident colour application. Every brushstroke in "Chroma" speaks to the meticulous balance between the timeless allure of the subject and the contemporary approach to its rendition.
