Pulse by Paul McLachlan

Limited edition of 10

"Pulse" stands as a vivid exploration of colour and form. The vibrant irises, shining in shades of blue and lilac, are set against a contrasting backdrop of viridian green leaves and a sliver of ground. The painting is rendered with a distinctive energetic technique, filled with dabs and strokes that evoke motion and vibrating light. This all-over composition, with its undulating rhythm, captures the transient beauty of nature. While the technique used recalls the iconic style of Van Gogh there is also the mechanical nature of its conception, demonstrating how classical artistry can blend seamlessly with contemporary methods.
